Dave Chappelle
Dave Chappelle is a funny, funny man. His Comedy Central show Chappelle’s Show holds up very well. I still get a hearty laugh out of nearly every sketch. Even more than that, his stand-up is fantastic. He is easily one of the funniest people in America.
He’s also a very cool dude, seeing as he gave a free 1 AM performance in Portland, Oregon last night. Apparently, Chappelle was hanging out in Portland (my future stomping grounds) and started to tell waiters and other townfolk that he was interested in giving a free show. Rumors starting spreading via Twitter and Facebook. Perhaps Dave forgot how insanely popular he is because more than 4,000 people showed up at Pioneer Courthouse Square to hear the comedian perform.
Chappelle thanked the crowd and authorities (“Portland Police were kind enough not to arrest me”) though many couldn’t hear him because of the small PA system. Regardless, people enjoyed some free late night comedy from one of the most popular comedians in recent history.
Just look at this turn-out. All because of Twitter and Facebook. Wow.
The Crowd for Dave Chappelle
I wonder how many times people yelled “I’m Rick James, bitch.”
