If anybody has the stones to rise to the challenge, get the DVD 'Dave Chappelle's block party', where DC arranges a free gig in NY, featuring Kanye West, Erykah Badu, The Roots, et al. Not only does he demonstrate the remarkable niceness that the blogger refers to, he also shows that he is inclusive of people and not just a 'black' comedian. And his comedy is sharp as a tack. In closing, people should really dig a little deeper - DC's 'breakdown', was a testament to his refusal to tow the line, be pigeonholed, take the fast buck, or be any of those easy, selfish and negative things that people turn too, so very readily.

We had tickets for the midnight show, but since his first show (which was at 10 pm) ran long, he didn't start until about 1:45 am. We thought that he'd be tired and do a short set, but he was hilarious and did about a 2 hour show. I've been to comedy shows before, but that was definitely the best. We were lucky enough to get a photo with him after the show too. He's definitely a class act and one of my favorite comedians.

He's a rare exception to the norm, and has his head on quite straight, despite being a comedian with a very screwed up sense of humor. All of which is why I like him so much. And that pic is priceless Matt, good one. :D Matt’s right, Dave is one of those people that even for a normal non-celeb, is really very nice.

He waved you ahead and handed you a dropped item. The entire event had to take a matter of seconds. Does everybody he meets in a day have this same sort of reaction to every brief encounter? I can see why stars become jerks fairly quickly. No offense man, but he just showed basic manners. He waved you ahead and handed you a dropped item. The entire event had to take a matter of seconds.
