Dave Chappelle

”My favourite comedians are like musicians. And the audience is their instrument. And the music they make is your laughter.”
Chappelle2019 about freedom of speech in stand-up comedy: “I don’t think there’s an opinion that exists in this country that is not represented in a comedy club by somebody. Each and every one of you has a champion in the room. We watch you guys fight, but when we’re together we talk it out. I know comics that are very racist. And I watch’em on stage, and everyone is laughing, and I am like, ‘Hmm, that motherfucker means that shit’. Don’t get mad at ‘em, don’t hate’em – we go upstairs and have a beer, and sometimes I even appreciate the artistry that they paint their racist opinions with. Man, it’s not that serious. The first amendment is first for a reason. The second amendment is just in case the first one doesn’t work out. We gotta let some air out the ball, man, the country’s getting a little tight.”
