ST. LOUIS (KMOX/AP) -- Comedian Chris Rock's first world tour in more than five years is suddenly getting a lot more popular. So much, he's added a second date in St. Louis for his Ego Death World Tour.

There are still "limited" tickets available for the original date, June 11th. The additional show is slated for June 12th at 8 p.m. Ticket prices for the new show range from $47 to 147 and will go on-sale April 8th. Both dates are at Stifel Theatre downtown.

Rock received several standing ovations before he told one joke last Wednesday at his first comedy show since Will Smith slapped him in the face onstage at the Oscars.

Rock only briefly addressed the slap to the sold out crowd in Boston, saying he was “still kind of processing what happened."
