Comedian and agent provocateur Dave Chappelle has released a surprise stand-up special titled “Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable…” on Netflix.
Chappelle is known for provocative and sometimes incendiary commentary on politics, culture, and high-profile public figures. He’s staying true to that in his latest special. The Netflix original dropped without advance notice immediately following the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua boxing match.
The 75-minute special includes commentary on a range of contemporary cultural and political issues and sees the comedian addressing recent controversies directly on stage. He most notably spoke about the continuing war in the Middle East.
In “Unstoppable…,“ Chappelle said, “Charlie Kirk was this generation’s Martin Luther King? That’s a reach… They both got murdered in a terrible fashion. They both got shot in the neck, but that’s about where those similarities ended.”
Never one to back down, Chappelle defended his decision to perform abroad and addressed critics who questioned what his choice signaled about artistic freedom.
In addition to these topics, the D.C. native addressed gentrification in his hometown. He lamented that “They’re trying to take the chocolate out of Chocolate City.”
