Chappelle walks off stage

stupid drunks.

Dave was 100% right to walk out, he is the performer.
Besides laughing and clapping, the audience are not active participants. If you don't like the show, YOU should walk out.

Like Louis CK said, the worst generation

I think he's talking about all of the people in the audience who had the show they wanted to see ruined by some asshole hecklers.

It'll never happen though, they can't take the money out of the stand ups pocket at that point and the venue isn't even concerned enough about it to stop heckling from happening much less apologizing for it.

No wonder most American comedians are terrible then. Hecklers encourage creativity.

Do people actually believe this? A comedic routine is written, rewritten, performed, tweaked, and then performed again until perfected in the eyes of the comedian. Stand up is not a conversation. It can be, but always on the terms of the comedian -- you know, the person on stage with the spotlight on them. Hecklers do nothing but disrupt the act and more than often humiliate themselves.

Just because the black American won't respond to heckling (read: fucking annoying repetitive quoting from works he did 10 years ago, with all phrases taken out of context because the irony of each one-liner is completely lost on the heckler) in the way you wanted him to, doesn't mean it's terrible. It means your expectations are terrible.

Also "overpaid comedy man not willing to work"? Be a little more subtle dude. Unless this is an elaborate troll? If so, hat's off to you.

Ah, that's true-it would be nice if the people who showed respect could get a refund, or at least a ticket to another show, but it would be hard to determine who was polite and who was not without surveillance footage.
 
Yeah stand up comedy isn't improv. Sure I think stand up comics that have done improv or regularly do improv have a razor sharp wit that helps in their stand up, that doesn't have anything to do with hecklers ruining a performance.

I sincerely doubt you will making making threads much longer.
 
Didn't Chapelle do this before when the crowd kept yelling his lines from his show at him? This just sounds like deja vu to me.

Anyways, the video doesn't show the whole thing but it looked like the crowd kept yelling at him. I would be upset too if everyone wouldn't be quiet while I'm performing. That crowd reminded me of back in school when the students wouldn't shut up when the teacher was talking.

I would have done the same if the crowd wouldn't shut up. It's one thing a heckler a little and have the comedian joke around it. But to do it throughout the entire set to the point where he has to ask you seriously to be quiet is a bit ridiculous.
 
I've been doing stand up since February, and i can tell you from my point of view and all the seasoned comedians ive spoken to, heckling is not something we look forward to or really want. It ruins the flow of your performance and it can bring down an entire room. I don't understand why some people think that in comedy its okay, just like some people shrug about joke thieves, thinking thats okay as well.
 
Hecklers are the worst, and there's no excusing it no matter what they were yelling. STFU and let the stand up comedian do their job. Imagine you're at work trying to give a presentation and some dude at the meeting is yelling "woo!! Yeah!! I love you!!".

Yeah, it would pretty much be the equivalent of going to a rock concert, bringing your own big sound system, and then playing music from a completely different rock band over the band that's performing. Nobody wants to hear a heckler. People want the comedian.
 
The he should have handled it like X comedian posts don't make much sense guys. If all of these other comedians had crowds the same size and had a huge tv show like Dave did then yeah go ahead and make the comparison. You can't joke your way out of any situation.
 
I know someone who went to that performance, and she said that Chapelle acted very entitled and rude. She said that were only a couple of people in the front who were saying "we love you" and supporting him, and then he suddenly stopped his routine and sat down for 20 minutes smoking and rambling about his mentor/idol. People were begging him to continue and he refused saying there is no reason for him to do so. He said that he has a bottle of water, cigarettes, a towel and a chair, and that he can sit there all night long. "I already got paid. I have your money. I can walk off the stage if I want", to paraphrase what he said.


People started pleading with him to continue his routine and said that they drove to see him from far away. And then he changed his mind and got up to perform and people started cheering for him and saying "we love you", and he said "I changed my mind" and sat back down.

Interesting

Everybody will ignore this comment though because you cant say anything negative about Chappelle on here.

I have no idea what i have done to everyone in this thread but they seem to hate me.
I'm out
 
Who knows what really happened. Clearly there's different parts of this story. But I'd be pissed if I wasted money on that. Lol.

Is it your job to find every single dissenting view of what happened to prove you were right? "See what this user wrote?! I told ya, dave chappelle is an asshole and overrated!"

Oh c'mon dude, we have multiple people in this thread saying this wasn't the majority of the hecklers.

This thread is a great backfire tho.

I will never understand how hecklers think they're funnier than the comedians themselves.

It's not about being funny, it's about the rush of being a dick to someone so famous.

You occasionally see it here on gaming side when a developer posts. I remember cliffyB posting and a few people, with absolutely no finesse or pretense of trying to be on topic, just calling him an asshole.

Yes. I also hate the expectation that comedians should just be able to work hecklers into their act and if they can't it's their fault. That might work for a certain kind of insult comic, but it ignores the fact that comedians are working off a prepared set and hecklers ruin it. Nobody would put the burden of dealing with hecklers on stage actors.
 
I just don't think heckling is acceptable period. It's just rude.

Sit down, shut up, and enjoy the damn show. If you aren't enjoying the show, just leave. Why ruin the night of the people that are enjoying the show, not to mention the comedian, who has worked on his or her set to fucking entertain people.
 
I have no doubt that DC banged the OP's mother, sister, or wife. This intense of a vendetta is reserved for such situations.
