Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021 TV Special)
6/10
Mediocre by Dave Chapelle Standards
26 October 2021
Don't get me wrong there is some good jokes here especially in the first half however I felt like his feud with the trans community sucked too much oxygen and too much humor out of the room. It felt like at a certain point it stopped being about the comedy and more about Dave defending himself. Of course he has a right to do this but it doesn't make for great comedy.

I hope he meant what he said at the very end where he declared that he was done joking about the trans community until we are all laughing together. That will take some time and some engaging with their community on his part but I hope for the best.

I still think Dave is one of the great comedians of his generation and I look forward to seeing what he does next.
