Dave Chappelle just walked off the stage and told the DJ to play New Slaves. The crowd continued to boo and heckle

Dave chappelle has been on stage 30 minutes, and has not told one joke. He's reading a book and smoking.So apparently Dave lost it on a crowd in Connecticut tonight. While the tweets don't lie, I'm going to have to side with the funniest person of my lifetime on this one. Hartford, Connecticut kinda sucks. I'm not offending anyone. Hartford knows what it is like a fat dude knows he needs to lose weight. At a comedy show, the audience plays an integral role in the experience. If everyone is expecting Dave to come out with some "Killing Me Softly" stuff right off the bat, you may be a little disappointed. He probably threw out a few B-B+ ranged jokes and the crowd became restless and agitated. Not the response one of the greatest comedians of all time expected, I'm sure. We all know Chappelle is a sensitive dude and slightly unhinged. Probably best to thread lightly when it comes to his big return to stand-up. You fuck around and you might end up spending $50 to sit in a crowd and watch a dude read a book.

Dave probably shouldn't have acted like this to people that paid good money to see him, but the crowd should also show more respect. Don't bring a match to a gas fight, Hartford. Dave's going back to Zimbabwe for sure.
