Dave Chappelle is hilarious of course, but he’s also contemplative. He’s up there for me with Jerry Seinfeld, unique in his ability to poke fun at himself, at ourselves, get a little ever so raunchy, and still be profound.
So luckily I caught one of his rare gigs last night at the Cutting Room on East 32nd St. He was warming up for three nights this week at the much larger Gramercy Theater. But he’ll also be back at the Cutting Room Wednesday trying out new material before heading for London and show some shows abroad.
His management asked the Cutting Room to keep the room small, so the famed venue closed the doors that separate the front room from the bar area. And Chappelle did a little over an hour that someone should have filmed for posterity.
But guess what? Chappelle doesn’t allow cell phones or cameras in the house. Guests must put their phones in a little sealed bag that’s locked for the duration of the show. That’s why you don’t see YouTube flooded with unlicensed videos. At one point during the gig, the comic himself wanted to look something up on his phone, then told the audience: “I can’t. I don’t have my phone either.”
He began the hour by saying, quite jovially: “This will be a racist show. I’m telling you now.” His jokes about blacks and white were evenly divided. But the subjects of the day were right up there. “Black lives matter is a terrible slogan,” he said. He much prefers Dwayne Wade’s hashtag “enough is enough.”

I LOVE some of those routines on his show. He is hilarious and deeply funny. Bits that never lose their humor.
Yet he wants to vote for Hillary. None of her crimes matter.
It’s so depressing.
Hilarious!! Love it! That Dave Chappelle is a smart one. ;D. So clever but also very healing to laugh at as well.
You are right, it was choke.
That was a good skit.
Enough Is Enough works well to call out lawless officials in government.
There is no transparency in the Obama regime. There is no accountability from the DOJ, SOS, IRS, EPA. No enforcement of the FOIA.
Chapelle is an ass who gave up a YUGE money TV show because he realized “white people were laughing at me, not with me”.
I never found his signature “I’m Rick James B.TCH!!” funny, and dont hold him in high regard.
Black lives dont matter or 10k would die each year at each other’s hands. If that number is off, i apologize.
I could tell stories about the projects that would show their lives dont even matter to themselves. But then i would have to explain what i was doing there in the first place.
Trust me, they dont like like civilized humans. It’s heartbreaking and terrifying at once.
Apparently in 1998.

Chappelle lives with his wife, Elaine Mendoza Erfe,[3] sons Sulayman and Ibrahim,[37][59] and daughter Sonal on a 65-acre (260,000 m2) farm[1][14] near Yellow Springs, Ohio.[35]
Chappelle converted to Islam in 1998. He told Time in May 2005, “I don’t normally talk about my religion publicly because I don’t want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way.”[28][61]
“WOT POWR!”
The black blind Klansman skit will live in infamy forever!
The skit where Ray Charles finds out he’s black. Hilarious!!
Wow...incredibly disappointing. :/
