Dave Chappelle Spoke Up At A Town Hall In Ohio

[@edaj1990]

I loved what he said about no cell phones at his show and recalibrating our ears. Much needed in this decade.

[@Doorito_]

Such a juxtaposition considering this is a youtube comment lol

[@GBTG8760]

Because everyone pretends to be offended for self gain these days

[@hahabass]

True dat!

[@nashtvguy]

Dave puts on a great show but snowflakes shouldn't good because they'd get "butt hurt" when Dave crosses the line of not being politically correct. Makes me smile....

"You're one of the most important voices comedy has." Wow... that is high praise coming from Chappelle.

[@codes5218]

I live in Ohio. A little bit south from Yellow Springs. Dave is right. Yellow Springs is like an old hippie town. Super chill up there (lots of coffee shops and healthy stuff) so yes, the cop probably did overreact. Dave is the man though. Just another one of the guys.

[@Rpglory]

I went to college in Yellow Springs decades ago, and didn't know that Dave moved there. Very cool!

[@kristenallen-vogel8204]

I went to Wright State University (in Fairborn, about 15 minutes or so from Yellow Springs for those not from around here), and was once in a Poli Sci class where somebody explained they walked in late because they saw Dave on campus. And I was at that New Years party but left before the cops tried to break it up. Dave explained the place pretty well but I'm not sure the weirdness of the ball drop can be fully explained to anybody who hasn't visited. It's sort of slung over a clothesline in the middle of the street.

[@DeterminedDIYer]

I used to live in Kettering, OH and Yellow Springs isn't too far from there. We used to go up there for fun. It's a super hippie town.

[@codes5218]

Kristen yeah the streets are super close together. definitely like a city on the east coast or even like DC

[@linkinsmommy7908]

Beth Ann YS was my chill spot and I'd seen Dave walking down the street many times. I was too nervous to say hi, but it was no big deal to everyone else.

[@sadpuckerr5359]

[@dlg5485]

Dave has enough clout and money now to bring the Chappelle Show back on his own terms, maybe self produced and distributed by Netflix. Do it, Dave!

[@CursedDeepFake]

There's a reason he stopped. It wasn't fulfilling

[@dlg5485]

+MrY Wrong. Dave walked because corporate handlers at Comedy Central were trying to control every aspect of the show and his life. None of that would be an issue if he produced the show himself.

[@CursedDeepFake]

I don't think that was the reason man. His sketches didn't seem like they had any corporate aspect. I think he just didn't like getting screamed stuff like "I'm rich bitch" by hi fans all the time.

[@liannehenri]

watch the second episode in his latest netflix special where he explains why he left. it has nothing to do with it not being fulfilling.

Did he or anyone else ask them to stop? hahah In Y. S. we like to let our children & animals run free!!! My dog would run away so many times!! One time the police came to my house & asked if I owned him & they said they had him at the station so they went & got him. The Officer said, "O.K. he had three milk bones & some water!!" I was shocked as hell because they said they called my mother & somehow they tracked HER down from my dog's license but I haven't talked to that bitch in a couple of years hahaha!!! That Yorkie was always gone...if the door was open he was OUT!!! He was like 4 lbs!!! If people would leave him alone, he'd come home!!! I'd put a sign up downtown, "Missing Yorkie." One girl actually gave him a HAIRCUT!!!! Why is the first thing 'y'all do is cut somebody's hair when you find them!!"

[@unlaikable]

oh yeah.. he does love sushi and gets it for dinner whenever he's in New York. Cause he said the fish in Ohio taste funny

[@greatbigworld9828]

I worked at the movie theater at the Beavercreek Mall (Like half an hour from Springfield) And he would come in every now and again to see Matinees and it was never really a big deal. And one day I was working behind the concession stand and the usher came up with a $20 in his hand and said he needed a popcorn and some bottled water for one of the guests. And I was like, dude you know were not allowed to bring guests stuff in the theater or accept money when they're not present. But he said, man it's for Dave. And I was like, OK cool, I'll give him some extra butter and salt (cause it's better that way) but you gotta let me walk it in there to him too, and he said sure. So we walked their food into them. It was Dave and some friend of his. And I'm not saying they were high..... But they were high..... :-) Like high as shit :-) and we give them their food and they say thanks and then my friend the usher goes to hand him his change, and Dave says No keep it. And then Dave reaches his hand out and shakes my friends hand and says thanks again. So we leave the theater and my friend says "I think he gave me a tip when he shook my hand" and he opens his hand up and there's like 100 bucks in 20's and 10's. My friend gives me 10 bucks of it and keeps the rest. And I said "Hey I should get half, I carried the stuff and broke the rule to sell him stuff in the theater" and my friend says, "Yeah, but I was the one talking to him, noticed he was high as shit and suggested he get some popcorn and water" and I said, yeah, that's fair, you get the bigger tip. That's my true Dave Chappelle story. EDIT: I also used to work at the Beavercreek Best Buy, and we would see him come in there every now and again too. He held the record for the largest gift card bought for that store. The story was that he wanted to buy a friend of his a new TV (This was at the time DLP's were just starting out and were REALLY expensive) and a sound system and Blu-Ray player (Blu-Ray players were new too and super expensive) but he couldn't decide what to get his friend, so he whips out a Black Card and just buys a $5,000 gift card to give his friend. That's my other true Dave Chappelle story.

[@jasonomnia9295]

Corporal Unger Damn that Netflix money is some good shit lol. And I'm glad Netflix gave him the 60 mill. Listening to some of his interview before the Netflix deal you can tell he regretted not getting the 50 mill from Comedy central for not signing to do another season of the Chapelle Show. Lol and sounded to me like his wife REALLY regretted him not getting the money.

[@markgray4704]

Corporal Unger groovy story man. Perhaps your friend will spring for the next sixpack.

[@staceycabral5660]

@Jason React You know why he walked away, right? He was supposed to get at least 6x's that much. They reneged on the original agreement and they wanted more control over the content of the show. Off to Africa! I just can't believe all the lies that were told about him. I don't blame him. He felt that was the place to go where he wouldn't get mobbed by people. I imagine they treated him well and with respect. I would have loved to be there to see his comedy skits there if he did any. We missed out big time no doubt.

[@belovedconsole]

"We do a thing at this show, at my concerts, where nobody has a cell phone. So all this like, comedian witch-hunt stuff, it doesn't happen in my shows. I have a wide margin of error and a lot of crazy things get said and done. It's an opportunity for artists to really flex their muscles without the fear of the repercussions of the overly sensitive. And we all gotta kind of recalibrate our ears a little bit so that we can actually hear each other, and understand each other, and I think comedy and music is one of the best ways to do that."
