Comedian Dave Chappelle does what he does best in this outrageous and hilarious standup performance, which allows him to push the envelope far beyond what he does on his TV show. Taped in San Francisco at the famed Fillmore, Chappelle lets loose on such topics as black celebrities, what it's like to have raunchy fans of his TV show approach him while he's trying to enjoy Disneyland with his kids, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant... and crackheads, of course. It's comedy Chappelle-style and, for what it's worth, no one is safe from his barbs. But you already knew that!

This show contains foul language, vulgar as well as religious topics. If your child is watching this stand-up, it is on your conscience. Do not shift to me that your child is watching some kind of dickheads on the Internet. This program is not aimed at insulting anyone's feelings, and also does not propagate anything. These are just jokes. Relax!
