It's a definite that he'll be bringing a musical guest. (I was just predicting that in yesterday's announcement.) I'm still trying to nail down who's coming.
Also, his movie "Chappelle's Block Party" opens here on March 3.
So one more time, Dave Chappelle is coming to Ovens on Feb. 26. 7 p.m. Tickets are $55. As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, there were only a few balcony seats left.
In honor of Chappelle's return to the spotlight, what's your favorite sketch. And please remember no cursing, use dashes.
Mine is the blind white supremacist and the Wayne Brady one.

Dave C is so awesome! He is the modern day Richard Pryor. Anyways, my favorite episode is when he and his "hommies" go back in time to the 1800s in their time machine. Dave and his crew arrive in the 1800s, yet wearing modern clothes, speaking modern, etc. The Black slaves who see the new arrivals don't know what to think of Dave and his friends. Also, the White slave owner tries to "whip" Dave and his friends into slavehood....etc. Everyline and minute of that skit cracks me up!
hands down my favorite sketch...well show, was the wayne brady one. it totally took wayne out of that pigeonhole he'd been placed in.
the best line... "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a B**ch?"
not that i advocate such things ;o)
All of his sketches are great but I really liked the one about the theory of different races liking different musical instruments. White people/the electric guitar, black people/the drums, and latinos/drums with keyboards and a bullhorn. The funniest part was Mayer going into a black/latino barber shop and playing the electric guitar to test the reaction. It was all blank stares and then a black guy finally tells him to "turn that sh-- off!" Then they try the drums which the black people liked but the latinos did not dance to until the keyboard and bullhorn were added.
Ben Stein mentioned that doing comedy about racial topics is the toughest to do because there is such a small line between a good joke and looking like an a-- or offending people but Chappelle has made us howl with laughter on such a regular basis, the guy deserves all the success he gets. And then some.
Rick James!!.....I laugh so hard everytime....when he puts his muddy boots on the couch and Eddie and Charlie beat him in the legs.....as he is belly crawling out of the house he yells " I should have never given you n*****s money!" So damn funny! I've seen it a million times and I still howl!
My favorite was the theory about different races liking different musical instruments. White people/guitar, black people/drums, and latinos/drums with keyboard and bullhorn. The funniest part was when Mayer went into the black/latino barber shop and shredded on the electric guitar to get their reaction. It was all blank stares and finally one of the black guys tells him to "turn that sh-- off!" Then the drums were played which the black people liked but the latinos didn't dance to until the keyboard and bullhorn were added.
Ben Stein summed it up best in that racial comedy is the toughest to pull off because there is a small line between funny and looking like an a-- or offending someone. Chappelle makes it look easy and keeps us howling laughing on such a regular basis, he deserves all the success headed his way. And then some.
Chappelle is hilarious! I love the sketch of the wealthy white family with the last name Ni@@er. Chappelle is their helper so everytime he responds to their needs, he politely calls them by their last names. So funny!
I am having problems buying tickets, does anyone know if he is sold out already??
I have two favorites - baskeball with prince and his R. Kelly sketches.
Gotta be the Mad Real World.
White guy Chad: Tyree, you stabbed my dad. AND you had sex with my girlfriend Katie.
Tyree: Lysol had sex with Katie. I didn't have sex with Katie.
Katie: Yes you did, Tyree.
Tyree: Correction. I had sex with Katie.
