Dave Chappelle’s Surprise Show Was Surprisingly Melancholy

Dave Chappelle continues to be playing surprise shows within the Bay Location for a although now and I had the fortune of seeing one lately thanks to a comedienne buddy of mine giving me a heads up.

The cause I say "I had the fortune" is since I haven't really decided if it is very good fortune or misfortune. I feel really fortunate that I got the tickets, in spite of them becoming $67 a pop it was worth it to find out the renowned Dave Chappelle live on stage. Simultaneously I've really mixed feelings about the show!

Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle is recognized for his insane comedy endurance and previously setting a comedy endurance record by performing for more than six hrs. The excitement was palpable, both my girlfriend and I were excited to determine the man that made us laugh on Tv quite a few a night. The show was in the Punch Line in San Francisco, we did not have any problem parking on a week evening which was a pleasant shocked and also the club was absolutely packed. I felt extremely lucky to have gotten the tickets that I did.

The show opened having a overall performance by W. Kamau Bell, a really funny comedian who truly played at Skyline earlier inside the semester! It was far more than a pleasant surprise to determine him and some of his fresh materials. Osama bin Laden was not surprisingly a subject amongst both Chappelle and Bell and they each had funny materials about it.

The first hour and also a half of Chappelle was good, it had me laughing and I unquestionably really feel like I got my money's really worth. Even so it was following that hour and a half that items got weird, depressing even. The comedy show seemed to turn additional into a bizarre question and answer session with far more than half with the audience afraid to speak. I suppose many people will be afraid to speak to one of the funniest men in America for concern of becoming humiliated.

The show began at ten:30 within the evening with Bell opening for about possibly 30 minutes. Chappelle went on until not less than two:30 within the morning. I say at the very least two:30 inside the morning mainly because each my girlfriend and I had class inside the morning and had to leave early. While the question and answer session was extremely weird and awkward at times there had been moments in it that just had me dying of laughter from Chappelle's speedy wit.

Chappelle even admitted that the show was extremely weird, and stated he felt such as the crowd was looking for a thing but he did not know what it was. There had been also less kind words he said about his own show which produced factors really feel even more awkward.

I employed the word depressing just before mainly because Chappelle talked about some factors that quite frankly had me slightly worried. He said things along the lines of "you have no thought how distinct comedy is going to be with me gone," "I really feel such as the planet is ending at the very least for me soon" and one particular other joke that sounded like depression. I'm possibly reading as well a lot into it even though. On the off possibility that I'm not, I hope Chappelle does not do something crazy, as he has a lot of fans across the globe who really like him.

I feel like the show was well worth the dollars in spite of the weirdness, I just really feel like Chappelle is struggling to overcome the vast celebrity power he has. A lot of men and women just desire to know about his disappearance but he just desires to perform comedy and I feel he just keeps acquiring distracted by people that throw questions at him. This question and answer format is seriously hit and miss even though and a lot more generally than not it is miss.

If you happen to be interested in seeing Chappelle do a stand up show I'd say comply with every one of the nearby comedy clubs it is possible to on Facebook. They're bound to mention it before tickets go on sale, giving you a great leg up more than the competition.
