Comedian Chris Rock is in the record books after a performance Friday night in London.

Rock attracted the largest comedy audience in Britain’s history. The 43-year-old performed in front of 15,900 fans at London’s O2 arena in his first of two shows.

Guinness World Records officials were on hand to make sure everything was on the up and up. At the show’s conclusion, promoters announced the record had been broken.

The previous attendance record of 10,108 was set by British comic Lee Evans at Manchester’s MEN Arena back in 2005.

Congrats Chris!!!!!
