Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled people - eviltoast

Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

    I personally don’t care for Gervais because he does shit like this and his face and voice make him unable to not be snide about it. He’s left a bad taste in my mouth for a while now.
