Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled people
independent.co.uk

Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

Wait, I thought he already released a special full of trans jokes... Is this another one?

He's released multiple at this point. Guess it really is the hill he wants to die on.

Its probably because people told him not to do it, and he's not gonna let anyone tElL hIm wHaT tO dO.

He doubled down with this new one, and is appealing to the bottom of the barrel. Wouldn't be surprised if Dave is a low key Trump supporter
