Legendary evening:Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle Did 90 Minutes of Stand-up Together in New Orleans

[Doobie Doo]

There’s no mistaking that 2017 is, so far, a banner year for stand-up. Thanks to hungry fans and streaming services, it’s currently not uncommon to see some novel and marvelous bit of news about a stand-up comedian on nearly a weekly basis. Well, that list got one item longer last night, when a crowd of New Orleans Chris Rock fans — hoping to catch the veteran comic on The Total Blackout Tour — instead got to see Rock co-headline a 90-minute set with Dave Chappelle.

You read that right: As Complex is reporting, fans waiting for Rock after sets by Jeff Ross and Eric Andre first got Chappelle (who got a standing ovation) and then Rock, too, who joined him in what Chappelle called “a social experiment.” The two then shared the stage for roughly the same length of time you’d spend watching, say, Half Baked, trading jokes like it was no big deal at all. As celebrity and civilian fans alike blasted over social media, it was one of those “Where were you when this happened?” comedy moments. That distant sound you hear is Netflix and HBO execs slap-fighting each other to green-light the Rock-Chappelle co-special first.

So they were on stage at the same time going back and forth trading jokes like RUN and DMC traded rhymes

New Kings of Comedy type tour with Rock, Chapelle, and Hart or Kat Williams might be crazy.

That's a moment in history you tell your kids about. When they act like they don't care you slap them up side the head and say "I was there!!"

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

[Doobie Doo]

New Kings of Comedy type tour with Rock, Chapelle, and Hart or Kat Williams might be crazy.

Call it the FUK Kevin Hart Tour. Everybody in that lineup has thrown shade towards Khart at one point or another.

I would love a tour with chris rock,dave,kat,hart but I doubt they'd all vibe

 

[Arithmetic]

That tour and special would do crazy numbers

 

[The Mad Titan]

What was rare and dope about this is they both were on stage together. I can't even recalled the last time that has happen with greats.


This was the marvel vs capcom of comedy.

[Jo-Black49]

Dave Chapelle will always be my favorite stand up comedian. No one has better story telling or delivery skills like this great. That Bill Cosby joke gets me every time...
