When he’s on, he captures a tension between knowing better and not knowing enough.
Dave Chappelle, who turned 50 recently, climbed into a boxing ring of a center stage at the United Center on Wednesday. There were no ropes, no turnbuckles, no gloves. The Champ looked relaxed, cheerful, and wearing a loose sleeveless work shirt, strong. We know he’s the Champ — weight class: stand-up comedy, still performing — because he said so: He last toured with Chris Rock and Rock is the greatest, other than himself.
It’s called “It’s a Celebration!” and there’s a DJ to hype up the audience with Whitney Houston and Bell Biv DeVoe. Everyone gets a free Chappelle tote bag at the door . And the first of the four opening standup comics is Flame Monroe, a brassy transgender comic who grew up in the Henry Horner Homes near the United Center and, in closing her set, notes that she stands with Chappelle. But Chappelle himself wants to reassure that he will still step over a line or two.
