He’s the greatest of all time without even trying to be. He could honestly just walk on stage and talk for an hour with no preparation at all and is still head and shoulders above every comedian ever.

Chappelle Show was one of the lowest budget shows produced, and at the same time one of the GOAT.

David Chappelle is the best comedian alive and I think he is better than some of the greats. I think Richard Pryor is funny as hell. But Chappelle is better.

I like his joke structure. I like how he is brutally honest.. And I like how, as of recent (as in the past 5 or so years) he takes a lot of heat from the transgender community and he continues to make jokes about them..

And I like how when he last special Rotten Tomatoes had it at 49% before people started voting.. They were pretty much trying to sabotage his special by giving it a low rating because they didn't agree with shite he said.. And it ended up getting a high rating once the people started rating it.

He is one of the greats as well. What they all have in common is to take real life shite and make it funny.

There other comedians today that I think are good.

I like Chris Rock, Bill Burr is hilarious. Honestly I could go on.. I know female comics are not too popular, but I really like Nikki Glaser.

But they can't touch Chappelle.

Chappelle is smart as frick and appreciates the artistry of comedy. Would highly recommend his Mark Twain Prize special. We all know he is incredibly funny but he has a way of connecting with people and calling the world on its bullshite that is just amazing and seemingly effortless

His skits and stand up are bar none, obviously.

But I really enjoy ‘Dave Chappelle’s Block Party’ because a lot of the content is off the cuff.

We get to see his ridiculous wit and impromptu behavior.

I bought that Block party bullshite. It was a concert, not a comedy performance. Nothing outstanding.

I loved Chapelle Show and all his previous standups before he went AWOL.

Saw him in N.O. in 2016 I believe. shite on Trump for at least 30 minutes. I`m fine with making a few jokes about him or anyone else, but move on. I paid a lot of money to laugh, not hear political rants. It was more talking about him than jokes. Aside, from that he was good, but not as funny as he had been. Maybe he was just having a shitty night from partying in N.O. for two days. Still my favorite stand up.

Surprisingly, that night Chris Tucker had new material and was funnier. Didn`t expect that.
