Actor and comedian Jamie Foxx has returned to the standup comedy scene in Atlanta following a prolonged absence, opening up about the 'excruciating' medical crisis he endured last year, reports Variety. Foxx expressed how challenging it was to revisit those painful memories daily.

Reflecting on the uncertainty that accompanies live performances, Foxx said, 'It was excruciating because the worry is what gets you. While there's a great show in the room, it's uncertain what people might laugh at.' He explained the usual process of working and refining a show over a year before filming, contrasting it with his spontaneous decision to announce his Atlanta show on Instagram last month.

In the emotional post, he thanked his audience and credited their prayers, good wishes, and divine support with bringing him back from an ordeal he never expected to face.

He dismissed online rumors about paralysis or blindness, acknowledging the arduous recovery journey but affirming his readiness to return to work.
