“How was your weekend?” he asked the crowd, to which they responded with some laughter, Deadline says.
Chris went on, saying, “I don’t have a bunch of sh** about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that sh**. And it will be serious and funny.”
“I’m going to tell some jokes. It’s nice to just be out,” he added before going into his routine.
Following the incident on stage, The Academy is investigating Will.
