Dave Chappelle told a crowd at the Hollywood Bowl Thursday night that he isn’t worried about backlash from his latestNetflix special and that his goal is to cancel “cancel culture.”
Deadline: “If this is what being canceled is about, I love it,” said Dave Chappelle tonight to a cheering and sold-out Hollywood Bowl crowd after a screening of his documentary about the comic summer camp he put on last year in his Ohio hometown.

“I don’t know what to tell you, except I’m a bad motherf*cker,” the suited and sneakered Mark Twain Prize winner added to big laughs from the crowd.

“This is the kindness conspiracy,” Chappelle told the more than 18,000-strong audience. “Fuck Twitter, Fuck NBC News, ABC News, all these stupid ass networks. I’m not talking to them. I’m talking to you, this is real life.”

Requiring proof of Covid vaccination or a recent negative test for the virus, Thursday’s screening and show in L.A. was reminiscent of the world premiere of what was then called Dave Chappelle: This Time This Place at Radio City Music Hall back in June.
