Dave Chappelle fans thought the comedian’s dazed and confused Thursday performance in Detroit was half baked at best.The usually sharp-witted Chappelle chain-smoked, slurred his speech and shouted at hecklers as he rambled his way through the 9:30 p.m. show at the Fillmore Detroit, according to attendees.“Dave Chappelle = biggest disappointment,” Misanthropic Me wrote on Twitter.
“Showed up drunk and literally told two jokes over two hours.”Some said the set was so bad they demaned their money back.“Horrible, don’t go,” Heather Becker wrote on the theater’s Facebook page. “Second show last night was ridiculous. Walked out. Did not get what I paid for..... refunds please!”Another fan was a little more blunt in her assessment of the show.“Dave Chappelle really sucked a** tonight in Detroit,” Asia Hamilton wrote on Twitter.
“No material equals big waste of money. And I love Dave Chappelle.”According to multiple people in the crowd during Thursday night's 9:30 show at the Fillmore ... a seemingly wasted Chappelle took the stage an hour late (mostly due to the crowd still being seated), and told very few jokes. Instead, he sat quietly smoking, rambling, and slurring his speech.In a video, you can hear someone in the crowd yell, "Let's hear some of the act!"
Dave responds, "Well sir, it's a little late for that. Right now I've gotta get off the stage because it's 2:00 in the morning."Not everyone who attended Chappelle’s show Thursday in Detroit was displeased with his performance.“I was at the 2nd show,” wrote Andrew Suski. “It was a one of a kind! I feel it was as RAW as it gets... would love to see the routine one day.”Others blamed the off-the-cuff performance on the audience being bombed, not the comic.“I just watched Dave Chappelle be verbally harassed for an hour and a half by a disgustingly drunk Detroit crowd,” Jake Blankenship wrote on Twitter. “He couldn't get a word in.”
