Dave Meets Almost 600 Students

According to Politico, there were more than 600 students to speak with the comedian in the DC Duke School of Arts. They wanted to confront Dave about his newly coming Netflix special, “The Closer”. It has been already very much criticized for Dave’s comments for the transgender community in it.

The previously announced fundraiser was rescheduled because it was expected that the students will plan a students’ walkout. During a Q&A session, the actor and comedian made no apologies for the subject of his comedy routine.

The students were criticizing the content of the film and as well as his perceived lack of maturity in dealing with the response. When a 16-year-old boy claimed to Dave that he was just 16 and still he believed that the comedian acted like a child, Dave simply replied that the young boy would not even be able to make one decision that he makes every day.

Dave raised hundreds of dollars. Despite the hostility directed at Chappelle at the event, he also received a lot of support from his teen followers. He also offered each kid a ticket to a screening of his documentary Untitled that was scheduled for later that night.
