Dave Chappelle: The Closer

This is different. It's not extremely funny. It's Dave saying things that he personally needed to say.

Was it the funniest special? With the most jokes? - No, probably not.

Was it captivating and entertaining? - Hell, yes!

As most people have already understood: Dave Chappelle is not JUST jokes (anymore). He kind of transcended comedy in the past few years and grew into his role as a great story teller who holds the mirror up to society, talking about sensitive topics, making controversial statements while keeping his great punchlines. And you could feel that this special was particularly important to him.

For sure, I have laughed more in other specials of his but this doesn't mean the jokes or the special itself weren't as good, it's just different and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Although I understand and appreciate him talking about these sensitive and sometimes serious topics, I also hope we get to see him more light-hearted in the future again.

It takes courage to do this set, even for Dave Chappelle. He did a brilliant job. A true master of walking the fine line and this might be the last time you see him do it in a while.

I expected Dave Chappelle's special, "The Closer" to make me laugh I didn't expect to shed a tear. He truly is the GOAT!

Thank you Dave!

Even if most think they are funny and like a good time laughing, real humor is not for everybody. Laughing about ourselves is not for most humans and we live in a time that every single tweet/joke/phrase offends some people, who don't even try to understand the other side or the goal of a simple joke. People are not ready, people don't want to laugh about themselves.

Dave Chappelle is probably the best ever and people who really understand humour will always care and recognise that. This show is more serious than usual on him but with a perfect balance between humor and lessons. He will never be cancelled.
