Dave Chappelle surfaces!!!

Thanks for the link...that was good to watch. I saw him on Oprah earlier this year (or late last year) just after he got back from his "time away" and he wasn't the same person. There were glimpses but he wasn't his usual bright quick-witted self.
The 10 minutes in London showed that he's on the way back...which is great news!!
 
yeah, i saw that too on oprah, looked as if he really had a nervous breakdown, he was dribbling a lot of crap.

but you can see how at ease he looks on the stage in front of an audience there...maybe he will think about doing another show soon. fingers crossed!

Chappelle: Another One for the Books

Dying is easy, and comedy is hard. By that calculus, telling jokes for six-plus hours would appear downright impossible—unless you're Dave Chappelle.

The 34-year-old funnyman returned to his old stomping grounds at Hollywood's Laugh Factory Sunday and accomplished the feat for second time. Chappelle performed a 6-hour, 12-minute stand-up routine, breaking the record he set last April by five minutes.

"Dave was determined to keep his record because he recently heard that Dane Cook was planning on trying to break [his] record," club owner Jamie Masada told the Associated Press.

Chappelle and Cook, 35, have something of a rivalry going when it comes to marathon sets.

The latter was the first to shatter the longstanding record of 2 hours, 41 minutes set by Richard Pryor in 1980, clocking in at 3 hours and 50 minutes in early April.

But he was one-upped by Chappelle Apr. 15. The outspoken comic cracked wise for nearly double Cook's mark, starting at 10:30 p.m. and finishing up six hours and seven minutes later—and with nary a bathroom break.

Masada says that the Block Party emcee had plenty of new material for his latest endeavor, after extensive traveling of late, including a recent trip to Ecuador.
