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.”

Both slogans evince an attitude of imagined moral superiority, and should be dumped.
I much prefer the slogan, "Let's first get our own sh*t together before we go criticizing others." Alternately, "We, collectively, are more responsible for the failure of the Negro Race in America than is White America."

His Training Day bit with Wayne Brady cracks me up in a wicked way...
Flame if you must, it was hilarious.
HOW did I know it was going to be that one?!! Lol! “Them Niggars sure are lazy!”
“Look at the baby, she sure has Niggar lips” Chappelle is a very funny comedian. He comes up with some very original and funny skits.
Yes, yes...I’ve seen it and I can’t help but laugh at that one also...
His Prince playing basketball in heels and frilled cuffs makes me lose it too ...
Oh sh*t! It’s Wayne Brady son!!!
Game....Blouses
I find it weird that he converted to Islam.
Chapelle wrote it and it has to be one of the funniest skits ever aired on TV. The punch line was priceless...lol. I laughed for days afterward every time I thought about it...
< I find it weird that he converted to Islam.
For blacks, it’s usually just a fashion statement. Other times a new life with a new name after serving prison time.
I did not know this. When?
“White people like Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.” — Negrodamus
Aaaand....boom goes the dynamite.
Bump!
Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta cap a bitch?
Stop it. I can’t even read those lines without laughing.
And I think it was choke instead of “cap”...as if it mattered.
XD
