Comedian Dave Chappelle delivered arguably one of his best performances to date Friday night at Eastern Michigan University.

That, or he was possessed.

Either way the crowd of thousands laughed nonstop as the 32-year-old candidly joked for nearly three hours about everything from the 2004 presidential election to his own career. He even managed to combine the two. Chappelle compared the election to pro wrestling, calling President Bush the "Hulkster."

"It was fixed. You knew he was going to win."

The joke then moved to whether or not a woman or a black man could be president. Chappelle said his friends say he could run for president, but he pointed out that he couldn't even make it "through three seasons on television."

"When the going gets tough, the tough go to Africa," Chappelle said in his punch line, referring to his indefinite hiatus from his hit sketch program "Chappelle's Show" on Comedy Central and his subsequent "retreat" to South Africa. In late April, the comedian walked off the set in the middle of taping, halting the show's production and delaying its May debut. Chappelle's exodus sparked rumors of alleged drug use and mental illness.

"I thought Newsweek was a reputable publication and I was reading in it that I was smoking crack rocks," Chappelle joked later in the show. "I started to believe what I read. I thought, 'Oh no. I'm doing crack rocks?'"

Despite his candor, Chappelle just couldn't shake hecklers, who ignored posted signs threatening ejection for heckling and continuously shouting gibberish. The less savvy even insisted on yelling that they were Rick James.

A year ago, when Chappelle performed at Detroit's State Theatre, hecklers noticeably bothered him, even preventing him from delivering punch lines. Not anymore. The new Chappelle made the chatterboxes part of his act, serving up raw and spontaneous quips.

At one point Chappelle pretended to be a heckler, planning his day and life around what he would scream during Chappelle's standup.

Chappelle's lickity-split wit and candor touched and impressed fan Ryan Harper, 26, of Ann Arbor. "It was a great show. He just turned out the jokes through it all," said Harper, a cashier. "You could see his vulnerability. Everything he said wasn't planned out and prepared and it was so much more real than his TV show.

"I have a new found respect for him now."

The chain-smoking Chappelle rounded out the show with two mock auditions for "Cops," a bit that included the agility of the cameraman. He also applauded rapper Kanye West for criticizing the president but joshed that West may no longer have a career.

One of his funniest segments occurred when he struggled to pronounce Ypsilanti, where the show took place.

By the end of the show, Chappelle referred to the college town as "Ipsy Lipsy".

Some of the audience missed the joke when they cut out early. Not Matt Ferreira and his buddy Namel Blake, both 18-year-old EMU freshmen. Neither had seen Chappelle live. Both were so excited and thrilled that Ferreira ignored the growing numbness of his legs, and Blake his full bladder.

"I'm from New Jersey and I actually got to see him while away at school," said Ferreira, a business major from Aberdeen. N.J.

Blake, who is from Brooklyn, said, "He's even better live."

Not to sound like a smart arse, but do you know who he is?
He's arguably the best / most applauded / sought after fashion photographer of this decade.

He's shot every major celeb, (his number was even in Paris' quick dial, if you cast your mind back to that fiasco)

That pic was the first one I grabbed off his site, I was more looking at the quality of the shot as opposed to the content.

Perhaps this one is less 'gay'?

duuuuuuuuuuuuuh david la chappelle is as mainstream as it gets nowadays ,

you had to be living under a rock if you didnt know the dude

I am not saying he is not ok , but prefering him above dave chappelle makes you gay ;)

Only homo's and models know who David LaChappelle is....thank God I am a model.

As for Dave Chappelle I've seen him live 2 times. Once at Umass Amherst and the second time in Hyannis, Cape Cod MA. Both times he was extremely funny. The second time around in Hyannis there were a bunch of hecklers in the audience and he handled them in much the same way...made them part of the show leaving them blushing and embarrased for the most part. After awhile he finally had it and said "can somebody please get this guy to shut the fuck up...jesus" leading to everyone cheering.

Good to see he is testing his new material for his next comedy special. 90% of the show I saw at Amherst ended up on his HBO comedy special, and about 60% of what I saw in Hyannis ended up on the Showtime special.

Dave Chapelle is the best American comedian I have ever seen for sure. In Denmark we have a lot of very funny acts who churns out one cool show after another. What is a bit funny to me is how controversial Chapelle seems to be - I mean he says so himself on the show and some of the race jokes have been pretty nasty; but compared to comedians in Denmark I don't think he's that offensive ;)

Promoters post signs, hecklers ruin shows.

I don't know about you but if I heard "I'm rick james bitch" 400000x a day it would kind of piss me off too.

spunkmaster · 10-01-2005, 11:58 PM

Anyone who walks away from 60 Million does have issues with himself !

Then again if he comes back he'll be bigger then he was because people won't know if he'll flake again so they will want to watch him even more.

"You mind not calling me a bitch in front of my children?"

For what it's worth was a funny dvd

working a 40 hr week job or in chappels case working low paying comedy club or dealing with FANS yelling "im rick james bitch" at a sold out arena/theatre

just like a band with hit songs. goes with the territory.

FREE BIRD!
