Dave Chappelle: The Closer

In this era of cancel culture and intersectionality Dave Chappelle is in an enviable position as a Black male hovering at the top of this sacred cow list. In his latest stand-up he uses this cachet to comically expound on transgenderism much to the chagrin of the easily offended. Chappelle also takes shots at whites in Michigan and Mike Pence (an amazingly Trump free stand-up) but that is standard fare targeting a group with big shoulders, use to the ribbing. Transgenders are another story however who brook no criticism and this may be a watershed moment with Chappelle having the nerve to play no favorites, declaring his right to say as he pleases as a humorist. The show does have some slow moments but they remain blips in this mostly funny stand-up that should have reverberations in the days ahead, pitting two intersectional titans against each other.

Its is not so much a comedy show but a conversation of social observation , with a bit of humour . Much of what he says is true and reflects the majority of peoples attitudes . There are funny moments but not laugh out loud . If anything it is a social experiment where Dave knowingly blasts the woke , politically , correct mob in the face with double barrel shotgun of things we are not suppose to talk about . He will catch hell for it by some but in the end thats the genius of it . As a comedy special it lacks laughs. As a political movement commentary it is perhaps the first step in a bigger movement to take back the comedic industry from the woke mob.
