Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled peoplelocked
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.

ITT: People who thought it was ok and punching up when he made fun of ghetto black people early in his career but today have an objection when its trans white people being the topic of 3 jokes out of an hour special
ITT: Dave Chapelle, man who left his hit show abruptly because he was concerned about the audience he had cultivated comes back to America to live with old white people and cultivate a new audience that's much worse.
He left because his father died, I guess he should have stayed to make grape drank jokes for you? This is his current audience, notice all the black people? I guess that's "much worse" to you according to your own words. Your racism is showing.
Bigots come in all colours. Calling the OP a racist for calling his bigot audience worse than before is pretty low.
