Dave Chappelle: Equanimity (2017 TV Special)
7/10
Hilarious, but not as consistently so as his earlier stuff
30 March 2018
A 2017 stand-up special by comedian Dave Chappelle, produced by Netflix. Covers ground that fans of Dave Chappelle will be used to, e.g. race issues, plus looks into the current political situation in the US.

If you're a fan of Dave Chappelle, as I am, you'll know what to expect - biting, irreverent, fearless humour, delivered in distinctive colourful style. Screamingly funny at times, making you think it was the early 2000s all over again.

However, not always funny, unfortunately. Chappelle goes into US politics and often it's more a rant than joke. Even his jokes on the subject seem predictable and below him. He should just have stuck to his usual subjects and stayed clear of politics.

Ultimately, very funny, but in spells - quite uneven. Too many dull bits to be brilliant. Unlike his earlier stuff, which never had an unfunny moment.
