“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

I love your comedy Dave, but the sell-out you’ve become invalidates your position as a truth-teller right when America needs you the most. You built your career on raw talent and hard work without bowing to your masters at Comedy Central, and you don’t need to do this either. If you ever manage to un-sew your lips from the royal prince’s gold-shitting anus, please come back to us.

Obligatory take from another of my favorite comedians.

That's not what free speech is. The government has never attacked this Chapelle for his speech.

His bigoted shit just isn't funny to GenZ and they don't mind telling him.

It's our right to Freedom of Association he has an issue with.

The state of comedy is so sad.

I used to love chapel. Now not so much. He drank the Joe Rogan kool-aid

I don't understand how for the last ten years this guy has been allowed to just associate with other comics like he's not a fucking pariah.

Aw man Bill Burr went too? Goddammit.

Makes it so easy to find the people who don't give a fuck about women when they suck the Saudi teats so openly

Jim Jefferies, Jimmy Carr, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson... I was surprised to see these names on the lineup, what a bunch of sellouts.

This is from their contracts (found on https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-30/riyadh-comedy-festival-begins-with-pete-davidson-bill-burr/105833686):

Chappelle has always been tone-deaf about many things, he's just more obvious about it since he's older. Glad more and more people are noticing his hypocrisy

He referenced the Charlie Kirk situation. He didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He's nothing more than a rightwing propagandist these days.

I’ll bet ya a whole dollar that he doesn’t know who Jamal Khashoggi was.

I invite you to stay there, Mr. Chappelle.

Isn't he the piece of shit that was enjoying that someone that interrupted his show because of the shit he was saying, got heavily beaten up by security?
