Can a comedy set win a Pulitzer? ... More of an eloquent volcano of social criticism than a typical set. His storytelling and natural charisma make the monologue riveting, enraging, inspirational and, to those who still don’t understand what’s going on, informative. Read full review

The comedian was in top form. ... What followed was Chappelle at his rawest. ... But this was a different sort of raw, informed by the heat of moment, decades of injustice and Chappelle’s own need to do something, no matter how underproduced or off-the-cuff. Read full review

This set is uncomfortable only in intentional ways. ... In its own eerie vacuum, 8:46, however one wants to define it, is a fascinating snapshot of the moment. Read full review

Even Chappelle admits near the end: “This is not funny at all.” But it needed to be said. And this could only be said by Chappelle. Read full review

This is more of a commentary on the current political and social climate than a typical comedy special, but it’s interesting, poignant, entertaining and somehow still funny.

Wow. This is a really good special released in a unique way where he discusses the George Floyd murder while mostly being serious and thinking about how human consciousness works. Impressive set.

I thought he was smart, then he started talking about taking up guns. Idiocy.
