Dave Chappelle: This Time This Place

Having personally attended a Cornfield Show and visiting Dave's beloved town during the pandemic, this documentary captured the hard work and dedication by Dave and his team to make this difficult time special. Meeting new friends, socially distancing outside in a cornfield, while having the opportunity to laugh and experience new comedians, eat at food trucks, and just have an awesome time is something I will never forget. The documentary made you laugh, cry, and most importantly see how the millions of dollars Dave brought into his community helped them during the pandemic. I look forward to the video being released for purchase.

This documentary takes a deep dive into the series of live comedy shows mounted by Dave Chappelle in his adopted hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio during the summer of 2020. Literally performed in a field, the series of socially distant all star comedy shows featured many of Chappelle's famous friends from stand up, music and performance. Directed by Oscar award winning documentarians Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar, this film is a moving look at Chappelle and friends as they navigate their way through Covid 19, what it means to create art in the face of global upheaval and the healing power that laughter can bring to a struggling community.

Saw this in DC. The problem is that it was was released AFTER the vaccine was released. I wanted to forget about Covid and the previous year! Reviewers mention how "uniting" the documentary is -- but people were getting vaccinated and things were slowly retuning to normal - so what do we need this for? Perhaps that's one reason that - in February 2023 - the documentary still has not been released to the general public.

It was entertaining enough, but nothing fantastic humor-wise. Dave came on stage after (not for very long) - and missed an opportunity to tell people "get the jab". Not his style maybe....

Worth every minute to gain knowledge, wisdom, of what happens to survivors of Covid-19. Beating the odds, and still able to laugh through a lot of pain endured.

I drove 1 hour and had another 30 mins to find parking.

The Capital Arena was poorly organized. Those that bought tickets online were separated into another line to get physical tickets. So the line was extra long and the show started before sitting. WTF happened to scanning electronic tickets.

I can't believe I paid $300+ for a movie. I was really expecting to see Dave perform, but I got a movie (documentary). I was expecting a comedy show, I got a documentary.

Still waited for Dave. Had Erika Badu instead. Not knocking her, but I didn't go there to see her.

Dave performed maybe 15 mins.

Hate to say this but Dave was the last person I expected this from. He really played the Goth-a B joke on me.
