Chris Rock tried out some new material about sexual harassment at the Comedy Cellar on Thursday night, and some women were not amused.

Rock said he won’t hire women anymore because he would need a crew of witnesses around him at all times so he wouldn’t be accused of rape, one patron of the MacDougal Street club told me.

“They cry rape because they want money,” said Rock, who added he won’t even hire a cleaning lady because he’s afraid of false accusations.

“I’ve seen him before and he was hysterical, but this wasn’t funny at all,” said one woman.

“Nobody was laughing. There were many boos and many women who were telling him he was a sexist pig. Two people got kicked out.”

Rock’s friend Jeff Ross, who was waiting to go on when Rock finished, was asked by Rock for a new topic. “Talk about growing up in Brooklyn,” Ross yelled.

But Rock kept going back to sexual harassment anyway. Rock said he felt the wrath of Harvey Weinstein. “Weinstein ­f–ked with me by trying to have me star in the worst movies of all time,” he said of roles he didn’t take.

Rock’s publicist had no comment.

After 20 minutes, Rock exited to silence, and Ross took the stage. “Now that we got that Chris Rock kid out of the way . . .” Ross said.

A spokeswoman for the club had no comment.

after the first few weren't hitting, he needed to move on tho.

just spitballing and seeing what sticks. I wouldn't be surprised if Rock tweaks some of these so they hit the mark down the road.

my bad.. I think I read that wrong. I agree 100% after reading below.

I've heard him (or was someone else) describe his process for trying out new material which is to go to smaller clubs and just read shit dead pan to see if the idea alone gets laughs.

If the shit ain't funny, it dies in the comedy cellar.

Seems not cool that you can't work out material for fear it will end up in the paper.

What I want to know is did Larry David work out his picking up women in a concentration camp material he performed on SNL.

i don't..them dudes joke about everythang. If its funny, it'll roll. Didn't they get on SNL for not addressing Weinstein sooner?

And the Weinstein jokes they tried fell flat during the week so the scrapped it from the show.

where one typically goes to work out material. at least i'd think not b/c it's kinda well-known as a place where one can catch famous comics doing stand-up.

so if i were to see Rock on stage there i'd think he's performing material he worked out elsewhere. plus since it's in NYC right in Manhattan a comic like him especially should expect an appearance on that stage to be news-worthy. if only entertainment news-worthy, still.

there are indeed places like you mentioned but i dunno that CC NYC is one of them.

fuck you.

Let's be real. This isn't a really big news story.

And it sounds like his material was extra atrocious.

But I do recall Dave Chappelle made some headlines because people thought he was defending trump while working out some material.

https://splinternews.com/dave-chappelle-steps-in-it-defends-trump-1793863479

Of course, when we heard the material it was actually very different from how it was reported on...while he was working it out.

there. have there been times where Rock or other similarly-situated worked out material at CC that referenced current events and it wasn't reported in the news?

if so, why is this being reported? and is it problematic in your opinion?

fuck you.

I am arguing this isn't really a big deal. It's a page six item.

Whether his material was problematic I don't know, I didn't hear the jokes and alot can get lost in the translation of a page six reporter reporting what a witness heard a comedian say.

it's entertainment news. which you say isn't a big deal.

i don't know what to think of the material b/c the only report i see about the jokes is based on the account of a person who was seemingly offended. so i dunno if the retelling missed some part of the joke or some element of Rock's performance that was key to the whole thing. Rock's pretty good at joking about controversial stuff so i'd expect him to handle this subject in a funny way. but like many man comics he's got a problem w/joking about women and women's sexuality. so i can see the jokes bombing too. i dunno.

but if he's working on som'n i expect these jokes if they're part of it will be better than what i read in this story.

fuck you.

A listers try out material because those clubs value privacy and have zero tolerance policy for audience members taping comics. Those who aren't A listers dont really workshop material at these clubs because they're audiences paying a decent ticket price to go, but no name clubs/open mics dont have nearly the security of a place like the Cellar or the Store.

I've been up in there on a couple of (kinda dead) nights way back when and it never really seemed like there was anybody really checking for that sorta thing. But the again, I prolly was just oblivious.

Chappelle had that going at one of his Chicago shows last year or in 2015 whenever.

fuck you.

main entrance who I guess checks ya ticket and then when you're in there it's basically just the MC and the waiting staff

although, I used to always go thru the entrance that the comedians would sometimes use from the restaurant/ bar above

wasn't never really anybody walking around watching the audience and whatnot, I dunno.

Those are more for larger scale shows that are harder to police. The Cellar is way easier to see what people are doing.

I used one of those for Kevin Hart. They're actually way efficient to use, but no - small clubs don't use them. In fact, I saw Chappelle not long ago and they just told people to not bring phones in. People did, of course, and I didnt and had to figure out how to get a damn cab home.

performance.

Because the CC is definitely a room where Big star comedians go to work out material. Shit with Chris Rock preparing for shows at MSG and Barclays in December, anything short of big theaters is a small room for him to work out material.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

cuz, shit, a famous comic should know that showing up there on stage doing new material is going to make news. that's not a place to try out material that one doesn't want reported, i would think. b/c of course it's gonna get reported.

where do they go if they don't want the material in the news? do those places exist?

fuck you.

>where do they go if they don't want the material in the news?

The point isn't to not have their material in the news.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

and it wouldn't end up in the news never existed?

b/c i've seen ppl lamenting for those spaces and complaining that it's difficult to workshop anything b/c now it's news whereas there used to be places where they could do that w/o making news. these places they talk about no longer exist? did they ever?

CC being one of them or not one of them even though it's famous and right in a media capital so of course whatever happens there is news (as has been proved by this Rock story and that January story). but do or did those places exist? if they never existed then what are those ppl talking about?

fuck you.

5 years ago Chris Rock could have done this set, even if no one laughed or he got a few boos
Since the Harvey Weinstein stories went public, anything remotely misogynistic makes you one of the bad guys

is it a problem? for whom?

also, per Cenario who is pretty familiar w/this subject, Rock's point was to not avoid the news. do you think Rock has a problem w/this being reported?

fuck you.

do you think Rock has
>a problem w/this being reported?

my point was outrage about women is a *thing* (99% of which is deserved) now that victims are brave enough to speak out

maybe he tried this set not realizing we're at the start of a potential cultural revolution where some shit won't fly anymore

fuck you.

the dry conversational stuff he covered on hot97 this past summer became a tremendous set during his Chappelle show at Radio City this year

I was offended and I'm not even that kind of jew...

i thought that's just part of workshopping your material...

<--- Big Baller World Order

i dunno the answer to that.

CC is not exactly a low-profile out of the way joint.

fuck you.

its not about it being low-profile. Its about people not paying to see him work out his material. If it bombs, you saw chris rock unexpectedly. If it hits, you got to see a great show. Its a win-win.

they are not headlining
they usually just show up cold...not on a bill and not getting paid and work out material

since the joint is so famous and is located right in the heart of the media capital of the US then a comic like Rock knows if he bombs there it's going to be news-worthy. especially just showing up like that, unannounced.

so where are these places where comics try out material w/o it being heard by the gen pop? do they exist after all? i've heard ppl talk about them but they may not really be a thing.

fuck you.

Eddie, they ALLLL pop up there to try out new material. It'll be on the main Chocolate Sundays Night with Pookie, and it's never announced that they'll be there...they just show up.

The Monday night spot that Spike does is similar. So these are major comedy clubs in a major comedy market, but the stars do go there to test out their material because it's still "small" compared to the Staples Center shows they do.
