Jamie Foxx has returned to the stand-up stage with a new Netflix special, “What Had Happened Was …” The eagerly awaited comedy set will address his health scare in 2023, which left the actor in a coma for almost a month. The actor took to Instagram after the special was taped in October to share his gratitude for the Atlanta crowd that came out to support him.
“I have to thank you Atlanta you showed up and you showed out,” he wrote in part. “I haven’t been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was made up of nothing but pure love and that’s what you were. When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say no it’s an artistic explanation. Of some thing that went terribly wrong,” he added.
