Jamie Foxx Returns to the Stage with “One More Chance” Comedy Show

The Oscar-winning actor and comedian is set to open up about his 2023 health scare in a new one-man show in Atlanta.

Jamie Foxx is gearing up to address his widely publicized 2023 health scare in a brand-new one-man comedy show. 

Earlier this week, the Oscar-winning actor and singer announced “One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx,” which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, from Thursday, Oct. 3 to Sunday, Oct. 5.

In an Instagram post, Foxx teased the show with an image of a black box featuring the words "WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS" before providing further details. “Join us for an unforgettable one-man show as Jamie Foxx takes the stage to share his journey through a serious health scare, filled with humor, heart, and inspiration!” the caption read. “Experience Jamie Foxx like never before in this intimate and engaging performance as he opens up about his struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. Get ready for a night of laughter, reflection, and genuine connection.”

The Texas native’s announcement comes six months after his appearance at the 7th Annual AAFCA Special Achievement Awards, where he hinted at addressing his health journey in a forthcoming stand-up comedy special. “Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m gonna tell you what happened, but I got to do it in my way,” he said as he accepted the AAFCA’s Producers Award.

In April 2023, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, first announced the news of his "medical complication" on her social media platforms. "We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery," she shared. Foxx was hospitalized for a few weeks, with minimal updates, until he addressed his fans in a social media post in July 2023.
