Chappelle Chapelle doing sets at clubs

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 3rd, 2005

According to Variety and now CNN, Dave Chappelle Chapelle is doing sets in L.A.

An unnamed Comedy Central representative told Variety that network officials would be sitting down with Chappelle to talk business “really, really soon.”

Might have something to do with that really, really big paycheck that Comedy Central got nothing in return for.

One of the interesting bits of info in the Variety story was that he appeared at the Hollywood Improv and at the Comedy Store, “performing before crowds of 200 and 20, respectively.” For those of you confused by the use of the word “respectively,” that means that the house at the Improv was ten times that of the Store. Can we get an ouch?! We hasten to add that the Improv show was most likely earlier than the Store set. But 10 to 1?

P.S.: If you’re wondering why we are doubling up on Chappelle/Chapelle’s name, it’s because whenever he does something and makes headlines, we get tons of hits. And not everyone is careful about how they spell his name when they enter it into the search engines. (We admit that we were careless the first couple times we posted about him last year. But we noticed that no matter how we spell it, we get a flood of traffic. So, we’re not taking any chances– we’ll spell it two different ways!)
