In his first hour-long HBO® comedy special, filmed in 2000, Dave Chappelle performs in front of a live audience at the Lincoln Theatre in his hometown of Washington, D.C., unleashing his trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary, exploring race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. An internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor, whose feature film credits include 2018's Oscar®-nominated A Star Is Born, Chappelle was the mastermind behind the Emmy®-nominated 2003-2006 hit sketch-comedy series Chappelle's Show, one of the highest-rated programs on Comedy Central. He has also won 6 Grammys® for Best Comedy Album as well as 5 Emmys® and is a recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. His fearless approach to tackling sensitive subjects and pushing boundaries has earned him a place among comedy legends like Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, and Richard Pryor, landing him the No. 9 spot on Rolling Stone Magazine's "50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time," published in 2017.
