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.

Add CommentNot really sure why a comedian would let 10 people out of a crowd of 5000 get to him and decide to punish the 4990 fans that came to see him. Petty shit IMO and not really anyone's but D.C.'s fault.
agreed, definitely Dave's fault. paying customers are paying customers. i feel like the crowd did nothing to help it's case though.
What about the thousands of huge fans that didn't say a peep? We deserved to see the Dave Chappelle we all loved. I saved up for weeks to take my boyfriend to that show for his birthday. So, because of a handful of people, the rest of us get jipped? Hartford, Connecticut didn't suck so much that five acts couldn't go on before him and get through their entire sets.
true. you were there, you ABSOLUTELY have a right to be pissed. i bought a ticket to the show to and i'm definitely worried about it now.
You're all idiots, paying 50 bucks to sit so far away you'll need a giant monitor to see him.
