So we running with the “DaveChapelle is for white ppl” narrative now?
- Thread starter Biscayne
- Start date
Dave's comedy is very much geared towards men.
The Chappelle show target audience was the 15-35 young man no matter the race.
When it comes to black entertainment its generally geared towards women.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I aint even arguing that shyt just came outta nowhere
And if you were there you would know that it was a successful tour years prior to the movie. So I’m supposed to believe that in 97-98 Dave Chappelle was big enough and well known in the black community that he could share an arena tour slot with Steve Harvey and Cedric?
look at this photo.
I’m suppose to believe Dave is gonna be here in a 3pc?I don’t believe Dave was telling the full context of this scenario. Sorry
Believe what you wanna believe fakkit. Facts are facts. Straight from the horses mouth. Unless you think Dave, the Seattle Times and google are in cahoots.

“Yes, the Dave Chappelle who publicly turned his back on a pilot deal with Fox when creative control got out of his hands and who rejected a spot with the lucrative "Kings of Comedy" tour, a move some assume he regrets.
"I'm cool with it," he said in a phone interview recently. "Granted, it made all those guys really rich, but I just don't think that was my thing. I do (things) a little differently, man."
This nikka deep in his feelings now
He was probably offered an opening slot on two shows. Stay mad

First it was, he was not popular enough in the black community for the kings of comedy, now it’s, he was invited, but only for two shows as an opener.
Take your L gracefully like a man and move on.

Why the hell would he need to be beloved on Robin Harris or Bernie Macs level in the black community to be viewed as a “black comic”? Robin Harris especially, since he was already a legend at the time of his death, and Dave was just trying to break in the scene at that time.

Dave came up doing BOTH black rooms and white rooms.
I loved his set on Def Comedy Jam back in the day.
This narrative is so stupid and ignorant

But Nutty Professor was only 3yrs after Robin Hood Men In Tights. They weren’t that far apart. You always had comedians who could vacillate between the two rooms and two audiences. Again, how many comedians who are uncomfortable with black rooms, gonna get spot on Def Comedy Jam in the 90s? And yes, I get it, Def Comedy Jam wasn’t his vehicle to stardom. But he still made it on there.
