Dave Chappelle is returning to Netflix with yet another new comedy special, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
With everything going on in the world and all the divisions creating havoc on our society, we could definitely use a good laugh while getting some good insight on how comically bad things have gotten thus far. Enter Dave Chappelle. Dubbed The Closer, the new stand-up special is set to stream on Netflix this October 5 and will surely give us OG Chappelle fans what we need: laughter.
“Comedians have a responsibility to speak recklessly,” Dave says in the trailer. “Sometimes the funniest thing to say is mean. Remember, I’m not saying it to be mean: I’m saying it because it’s funny.”
Yes, more of that energy please.
Emmy-winning director Stan Lathan will be behind the helm of The Closer as he was on Dave’s previous five Netflix specials.
