    It’s Dave Chappelle. This special really is geared toward people who have been paying attention to his previous performances. ... Chappelle clearly wants to go out with a bang. If he meant his YouTube special (8:46) as his own rallying cry that Black Lives Matter, and his IG videos as a way to show other entertainers how to fight for their own rights, then he intends for The Closer to blaze a path for other stand-up comedians to survive and thrive in this moment when anyone and everyone feels they can try to “cancel” you over your words.

    Chappelle seems a little bit too concerned with past criticism here and isn't really saying anything new that he hasn't said in his past few specials.

    He takes the mic out of everything like a comedian should. Does not hold back and that's what makes him good.

They will miss the point so to speak.
    This man is full of love and laughter and if you can't pick up on that, I think what you really need is a deep look within yourself.    … Full Review »
