Great review |
What you want me to say, the guy made me laugh for over an hour and fourty five minutes. Hes just a great story teller, very comedic, and talked alot about his life including the south africa stuff and the that went down with comedy central. He talked about the war and how americans are dumbasses. Talked about our healthcare alot and how great it was, mentioning it several times thru his show. Also alot about jerking off and porno's and he mentions more about his wife and her philopino family in his jokes and stories. You get a feel that hes just throwing things out and just talking to you like someone really funny at a campfire, doesnt feel completely premeditated even though you know alot of it is.
Ive always been a huge fan of stand up, but this was my first one live and I have to say...I was blown away. Im not gonna reveal any jokes and , it would really ruin them by trying to immitate him or copy and paste something that has to be heard from the man himself.
That review better for you jerk off? |

Chappelle's fans have last laugh
Comedian brings wicked stand-up
Crowd gives him raucous ovation
Aug. 22, 2006. 06:15 AM

STAFF REPORTER
Although the tickets said 7:30, an hour later there was still no sign of the comedian. It got to the point that the capacity crowd for the first of Dave Chappelle's four sold-out shows at Massey Hall began cheering every time it looked like the warm-up deejay was about to stop, in hopes of bringing the main man out.
But after he blazed through a wicked 75-minute set, no one remembered the wait. Wearing a grey shirt with "Power, Corruption and Lies" stencilled on it, blues jeans and white kicks, the man took the stage at 8:45 to a raucous ovation. Looking fit and trim, he used the night to make with the funny, but also to tell his side of his own story.
Honestly, it felt like this current tour is a way for the fans to check up on Chappelle, and he wants them to know he's okay. The man made headlines after signing a $50 million deal last year with Comedy Central for his hit sketch program, Chappelle's Show, but in the middle of the third season of production he abruptly quit — fuelling rumours of drug use and mental instability — and eventually left for Durban, South Africa.
He walked away from the contract, although recently Comedy Central released the odds and sods collection of the third season on DVD.
Chappelle has since done selective high-profile interviews, with the likes of Esquire and Oprah Winfrey, often saying he left because during one particular skit where he wore blackface, he heard a crewmember chuckle and he felt "like they were laughing at me, not with me." After quitting, he returned to his first love, stand-up, which is why he's in Toronto.
It's not like the mystery has deterred his fans. The shows sold out in four minutes and, considering some people in the crowd knew a few of the punch lines, it's obvious some folks are following him around.
It's impossible to tell most of Chappelle's jokes in a family newspaper. Sprinkled with profanities, mostly motherf---er and bitch, he was everything his fans expected. He moved through his racially charged humour but also talked about sex, drugs and politics in his breezy, casual style.
Make no mistake, despite quitting his day gig, his fans are still completely onside, and Chappelle is smart enough to milk it, making fun of the media sensation but also using the stage to explain why he did what he did. He chalked much of it up to the deteriorating state of America, and also praised Canada.
"Thank God for Canada. Otherwise Americans wouldn't have a place to get away to," he said. "It's a little closer than Africa . . . Your s--- is freer up here."
About the media frenzy that he caused: "They called me a crackhead in Newsweek. I'm never going to forget that. Even when I read that I was like, `do I smoke crack?'"
Like the shirt he was wearing, Chappelle — who's always been observational with his material — was a bit more overtly political than his previous recorded stand-up.
Talking about the Iraq war and the truths his countrymen can't afford to tell themselves, he said: "What if the truth is that America is living a lifestyle it can't afford? America is living like MC Hammer did. He got a $30 million record contract but bought a $29 million house."
Throughout his set he touched on everything from Mel Gibson ("His career's not over, he made an action movie about Jesus") to AIDS, Canadian health care, his wife, masturbation, porn, and even got a SARS shot in ("Everybody looking like Michael Jackson. It's like there's an outbreak of Ninjutsu in Canada.")
It was a great show, and a good way to check up on the man. And, although I'm sure he knows it — Dave, we're definitely laughing with you. Keep it coming, however you like.
