Im surprised he went after Charlie Kirk. We will see how it works out for him.

I have not watched the special but leaks are out about his comments on Kirk.


Definitely didn't go after Charlie Kirk. He just said he's no MLK. Though I personally haven't heard anyone compare Kirk to MLK. I'm sure there are some that have though. But he quieted the crowd and told them "No no no" when he first mentioned Kirk and some in the audience started to yell.

I'd rather a standup comedian not be scared to comment on any subject. He just applied to it if Charlie Kirk can get shot, anybody can get shot, so it scared him. Probably the funniest part of the entire standup (so far) for me was when he was talking about what all the shooter wrote on the bullet. "When I saw what he wrote on there, I'm like how do write that much on a bullet? Was this ni**a a watchmaker?"

If he says anything about Charlie then Trump needs to get involved and shut this down.


I don't know much about Charlie Kirk but this seems like the opposite of what he believed in.

This one almost didn’t feel like a comedy show, but story time with a few one liners mixed in. I don’t know what those people paid for tickets, but I bet some of them left thinking they didn’t get their money’s worth.


I felt that way when I saw Gabriel Iglesias a couple years back.

Jeff Dunham and Jeff Foxworthy delivered when I saw them though.

At the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, Dave joked that “it’s easier to talk here than it is in America,” implying he faced fewer limits on controversial material there than in the U.S. Maher quipping that if Chappelle believed Saudi Arabia had more free speech, he should try doing a bit about Muhammad there.


Maher hit the nail on the head here. Praising the ME is the cool thing to do these days, but the people praising them don't realize that people there do not align with 99% of what we believe in over here

Fwiw Ricky Gervais has a new special coming out 12/30. I can almost guarantee you it’ll be much funnier than the political sermon Dave just served up. For my money Gervais doesn’t miss very often

Subjectively speaking of course, Im sure there’s people in here that don’t find him funny etc. personally I love Gervais’ specials

the fact that you think any ignorance came from a jersey shows your ignorance.

This post shows your ignorance in relation to not understanding the ignorance of wearing the jersey or an ignorant person.

Chappell has reached his old, bitter comic stage.

His arc is the same as Carlin’s. Transitioning from comedy to social/political commentary.
