Dave Chappelle
The crowd ate it up, and you could see Chappelle was in his element, puffing cigarettes on a stage and soaking up laughter.

Why see Dave Chappelle?
He's Back and Here to Stay!
After a seven-year break from the mic, Dave Chapelle made his long-awaited return to stand-up comedy in 2014, with fresh new material gathered during his absence. Chappelle hasn't slowed down since. With a slew of fresh dates, the King of Improv and Observational Satire is a certified global comedy superstar, following in the footsteps of legends like George Carlin and Richard Pryor.

Dave Chappelle on Broadway
Chappelle kills on Broadway.. Been a fan for a while thru the ups and downs. I bought the tickets for the sake of seeing a legend of comedy on Broadway as a once in a lifetime chance. Going in i did not know what to expect... saw his Netflix specials and thought that it may have been some material that I’ve seen before mixed with some new material. To my surprise this was the best I’ve ever seen from Dave Chappelle.
All the material was new, not only that he spoke in detail about today’s social climate and how it makes comedy hard.. thru it all he remains true to himself by telling jokes that are hilarious and no one is off limits.. he addresses all avenues of today’s culture and in true Chappelle fashion the bluntness and common sense “like really this is America today†style of comedy touches the hearts of all and it’s really hard to be offended even if he is addressing a group you represent.. at the end of the show i attended he the audience a bonus by allowing the audience to ask him any question about anything... most questions came from diverse audience members which represented a subset of all the sub-cultures he jokes about.. it was enlightening to hear how he felt, how social conscious he is and why he stays true to the artist he is. This is Chappelle at his best and if you have the opportunity to see the Broadway run don’t miss out this guy is peaking again and re-establishes himself as the King of Comedy!!!!! ... Read more

Chapelle
Went to see Chapelle (my first time live!) at MSG. No bars hold comedy. He brought along some wonderful comedians for great warm-up laughs. Yet, inadvertently they showed just how great he is, master not just of jokes but of delivery, presence, authenticity, humanity. For the haters, as Gervais reminds us: a joke is not offensive, you found that joke offensive. ... Read more

Funniest Man in Show Business!
His jokes are very modern and up to date. Whether it be politics, race or just some off the wall stuff, his story telling and approach to comedy is unparalleled. Dave's fresh perspective gives me hope that all people can laugh at themselves and others without being a stick in the mud or offended. ... Read more
