Renowned comedian and actor Jamie Foxx recently took to Instagram to tease a return to stand up comedy, sharing a video of himself impersonating Prince in the earlier days of his career.
“PRINCE singing the Brady Bunch theme song was a moment… I’m planning on bringing more moments… Going to get on somebody’s stage somewhere near you. I got some jokes, and a story to tell….” teased Foxx.

Foxx shared this video, from the 2002 HBO comedy special ‘I Might Need Security’, after he’s kept a low profile from April to December 2023 after being hospitalized for medical complications.
Most known for films like ‘Ray’, ‘Collateral’, ‘Dream Girls’, or ‘Django Unchained’, Foxx’s return to stand up would be highly anticipated for his fans. Despite Foxx’s hints, a new special or tour dates have yet to be announced.

Upcoming for Foxx, which can be seen on his IMDb page, include several heavy hitting movies and series, of which one includes ‘Tyson’ where he will play the titular character—though its filming has been delayed due to his medical complications.
Another anticipated movie of his was filmed with Cameron Diaz titled ‘Back in Action,’ which was halfway through production when Foxx suffered his complications. Since, the two were seen filming again in January, and Netflix has somewhat teased a 2024 release. However, that also has not been confirmed for certain.
