In his own words, Dave Chappelle is the Bigfoot of comedy; a rarely seen legend whose long absence from the stage has only secured his status. The stand-up, actor and writer, who found global success in the mid-2000s for his Comedy Central hit Chappelle’s Show, walked away from a $50million deal for a third season in 2006, after fame and showbiz politics began to weigh heavy on his shoulders. For the past nine years, he’s been a borderline recluse – living on a farm in Ohio, raising his children and doing the odd, unannounced stand-up gig in mobbed comedy clubs.
Now, he’s making his comeback. Touring across America and, this past week, doing a sold-out seven-night run at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, it’s as if he was never gone. And yet, he has returned to a circuit that is not what it was.
‘Are you a Muslim?’, an affable doorman asked my mate, as we handed over our tickets for Monday night’s Apollo show. He wasn’t on counterterror duty. There’d been a few incidents, you see, during the run so far, as Chappelle’s caustic jibes had ruffled some feathers. ‘He’s got a joke in there about transgenders, and one guy the other night just got up, started shouting and then ran out.’ It seemed our doorman had taken it upon himself to trigger-warn any potential targets of Chappelle’s punchlines.

Time to take back our language.
There is nothing wrong with being intolerant of immoral actions (i.e. Homosexuality), fake religions whose real purpose is global domination (i.e. Islam) or Marxists or sin in general.
In fact, I would argue that is the righteous thing to do.
I don’t fully understand this excerpt.
Chapelle is a Muslim.
I’m sick of this whole thing. You can’t say ANYTHING without SOMEONE being offended. My Hub and I loved Dave Chappelle and we’re white Southerners....we laughed at his pot shots at white people as well as his comedy in general. It was FUNNY! Sheesh, some people need to get over it.....
ONLY morons are muslims.....
The scantest intelligent look at Islam will show you that..
Or if you have not a wit of any moral fiber... a smidgeon even..
then you can be a muslim..
walked away from a $50million dealHe probably went into hiding on a farm to save his life from his own race.
And you have to like goats
He is a really great comedian, great wit.
Are Muslims allowed to use pot?
I believe goats and sheep are both acceptable - that would merely make you bisexual:)
I think the slide down the religious pole towards Sodom and G, is Catholic, Episcopalian, Muslim.
Episcopalians are just Catholics without the guilt.
If you can find it on YouTube, watch it. You might want to wear a diaper, though. I almost peed in my pants I was laughing so hard. LMAO.
See if you can find a YouTube clip of his reparations skit; absolutely hysterical, and one of the most politically-incorrect pieces I’ve seen.
If Chappelle is truly a muslim, somebody might want to let him know he could be ticking off some folks who don’t take too kindly to heretics:
“The Ayatollah Khomeini’s rejection of music — like the Prophet Muhammad’s and Qutb’s — was directly connected to his revulsion of any form of cheer or joy in human life. He explained:
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer.
An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
People who are offended, offend me. And I will not tolerate their intolerance.
Oh I’ve seen them all and they are halarious! ;)
LOL......I’m rich byatch!
AMEN!
LoL.. Trumper...
Mormon, Baptist, Jewish, or Pentacostal..
It’s the RARE religious Salesman thats comes out against his evilness..
Even, especially, well known ones with much visibility..
Heck, few even come out against SOCIALISM... could cost them some “tithes”..
EVIL supports EVIL... wolves amongst the “flock(s)”..
