Dave Chappelle

Victoria — sorry to single you out, but you must have been high or are dating someone on the tour. The show was barely 45 minutes, way too raunchy and very little local content. Most of all, Chappelle treated us like he was going through the motions as quickly as possible. He must have made $ 10,000s for that hour — i’m so sorry i spent $ 70 to see him — wish i had save my hard earned money and stayed home.

This was an great event. If you ever get a chance to see Dave Chappelle live, you totally should. I don’t love Dave as much as my hubby does, but the show, the energy, everything was spectacular.
We got there at 7:45 to a show that supposedly started at 8. The DJ came on a bit later than 8, and warned us repeatedly to put away our cell phones. That went on for a bit, and then FINALLY the opening act came on. A guy named Kermit, from Ewa Beach. I was stoked that they had a local guy open for Dave Chappelle, even if the guy currently lives in Seattle. He was pretty funny, and made buncha jokes that you’d only get if you lived in Hawaii. My friend who was visiting said she didn’t really get most of them, so… there was that. But come on… that SPAM and Somalia joke? Priceless.
The DJ came back on to warn us about our cellphones, and this is where the only real negative happened, in my humble opinion. He’s all like, «Who’s here to paaaaaartaaaay!!!» And I’m all like…“Um, no, sir, I’m here to watch a comedy show.” A bunch of people felt as I did, and although I was super excited about the show, I wasn’t really wanting to jump up and sing song lyrics… So, that was that.
I guess he riled up the crowd enough, though, because finally… Dave Chappelle’s curtain came on! The curtain was the star of the show… until Dave Chappelle arrived, smoking what really did look like a blunt. (Later, we find out that it wasn’t.)
I can’t tell you his awesome jokes, because I don’t want to be too dirty in this review, but there was a lot of hilariousness. He is definitely a cool guy, and he talked about his booing in Hartford, Connecticut, as well as his thoughts on nuclear war. He said he is going to be partying out tonight in Waikiki, so if you’re there, you may just see Dave Chappelle, and a million fans.
This guy is a class act. I know he curses a lot, but I give him mad props. He thanked everyone, was super humble (besides being Dave Chappelle), and came out after the show back to the stage, just so the phone starved crowd could pull out their cell phones and snap his picture. That was so great of him, and I applaud him for it.
In summary, Dave Chappelle is awesome, and you should see him live if you’re able.
