a great comedian
Dave Chapelle may be the funniest man in America. There is a character he portrays that is so mindblowingly funny for all the right reasons in a way that is so wrong: he portrays a blind black klansman who doesn't know that he is black. The racist dialogue coming out of him is so twisted and requires our brains to translate as we go.
His new movie is getting excellant reviews.

In the exhilarating film "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," much of which unfolds over a single rainy day and night, Mr. Chappelle looks and sounds alternately ebullient and weary. It was directed by Michel Gondry, the madcap genius behind "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," but in its tone and vibe feels like Mr. Chappelle's all the way.
