Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer (2023)

Review by Gladlyinsane_Productions

Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer

7/10

I WAS THERE

As someone who was at the show Dave Chappelle was tackled at (BTW everything he says is true, you could see from the crowd everyone beat that man close to death), this is more interesting than it is funny.

I grew up with Dave Chappelle. He was and is my favorite comedian.

The Chappelle's Show shaped my sense of humor growing up. It shaped me as a writer and person.

And also as someone who grew up watching Killin' Them Softly, perhaps my favorite standup special of all time, it's really historic that he returned to the same venue 20 years later.

This special meant a lot to me.

Dave Chappelle and I have a weird history. My first time in New York City I was there for my 25th birthday. It was between going to the Comedy Cellar or The Apollo for my birthday night. We went with the Apollo. Then saw, later that night, that Chappelle made a surprise appearance at the Cellar. And I regretted forever not getting to see him live, in person, on my birthday and first time in NYC.

In this special, he's talking about what it's like to be a successful man in this world. And how you have to be a dreamer to get there. And it brings me to tears.
