After Dave Chappelle broke into comedy as a teenager, becoming a known performer at the Apollo Theatre by 19 years of age.

After writing and starring in Half Baked back in 1998.

After breaking DVD sales records with the first season of Chappelle’s Show, which sold 1.2 million in the first week alone.

After walking away from a 50 million dollar contract with Comedy Central, damaging his relationship with the network and his longtime writing partner Neal Brennan.

Dave Chappelle went on a highly scrutinized pilgrimage to South Africa. Despite stating he went to gain perspective and focus on his life, the media constantly speculated it was due to mental illness, and even addiction issues. When he returned to the United States, Dave spoke out against the racial inequalities in the entertainment industry. He left LA to live in rural Yellow Springs Ohio with his wife and two children, but would occasionally resurface in small comedy clubs across the country.

In 2013 he returned to the mainstream comedy circuit launching a North American tour but it wasn’t always the A plus material everyone expected and the audience would either get a 3 hour performance with rave reviews or him just walking off stage after saying something like this.
