Tony Woods influence on Dave Chappelle

[Jimmy from Linkedin]

Seen Tony in DC at a random open mic when I was tryna do the damn thing. That kind stuff has two outcomes: you see mastery on such an exquisite level you are either super inspired or defeated. I was inspired to acknowledge I didn't have it like that.

Totally forgot about him, but his joke about not feeling good because he took some Monistat 7 had meback in the day.

But as for Chapelle, he ripped off Charlie Barnett more than anybody else. He mentored Chappelle too.

Dude was probably the greatest street comedian of all-time.

He would just post up in Washington Square in NYC and kill everybody.

As a stand up fan and someone who has done a few open mics. I fw this thread

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Y’all trippin

Dave made his style his own

Not saying they didn’t help him if they mentored him
But he didn’t straight up copy no one

only good thread on the coli now

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Tony has been around for years and he’s been funny. All of those guys are funny in their own ways though. Here’s another comic that might put you in the Chappelle mood... he ain’t nearly as funny though

Dude, I've always said Dwayne Kennedy was the bravest comedian I've ever seen.

This nikka did a joke like a few months (maybe a year) after 9/11 when everybody was doing nothing but sucking police dikks, about how the police that everybody was honoring for their bravery on 9/11 were probably terrorists themselves to Black people at some point.

Man, the White folks in that room were like
