Dave Chappelle: Equanimity

I enjoyed this show a lot. I am a big fan of all of Dave Chappelle's comedy. He has to be one of the best stand up comedians in the world. The jokes are well written and well executed. Honestly this is not his best show, but, I would argue this is still better than anything 90% of all other stand ups shows. My only real criticism is when he gets political and talks about social justice. I do not have to agree with him about everything to find him funny, but, there were a few times where I wished he would move on and get back to the jokes. On the whole, it is really funny and if you are a fan you will probably enjoy it.

Equanimity is relevant, deep, and modern. I thought his first two were ok... but this one seemed truly composed and prepared. If made you laugh and shared a message at the same time.

For all the people criticising him for being too political or too straightforward: At one point in the show he precisely addresses these people for being sensible and sulky. Great comedy is supposed to offend everyone and anyone. And Chappelle is a grandiose comedian of our time.

I'm not a fan of Dave Chapelle, but I am a fan of excellence. The way he masterfully crafts his jokes and is so raw and honest, I love it. He made me cringe as he spoke but that's what truth does. Just wow.

I don't know how he does it, but Chappelle always manages to be "almost offensive".

Now, that's a skill.
