About Dave Chappelle (born 1973)
American comedian whose Chappelle's Show (2003-2006) reshaped 21st-century comedy and whose 2010s-2020s Netflix specials triggered debates over comedy and offense. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (predecessor in race-and-language American stand-up) and Eddie Murphy (1980s SNL trailblazer). For an intellectual contrast, see Hannah Gadsby, Australian comedian and Nanette creator — Nanette (2018) explicitly attacks the stand-up tradition Chappelle works within and treats traditional punchline comedy as a structure of power. Nanette and Chappelle's Sticks & Stones are the two most-discussed comedy specials of the late-2010s, taking opposite positions on whether stand-up structurally enables or excuses harm.
