Dave Chappelle coming to Stephens Auditorium Jan. 28
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Shove that phone up your ass and they probably won’t find it.
As others have stated, mostly due to the nature of comedy material and if there is an upcoming special, can't have thr material out there.
Also, for every one person that can control their phone use, 25 can't. I mean, take a look at at folks behind a two ton vehicle with their heads buried.
Dave is such a pro. The way he can make jokes on the spot with crowd interactions or things going on around the venue is incredible.
I'd gladly pay an extra 20-50 at an event to have everyone's phone taken away.
I went to his NYE show in LA last year that was just before Netflix special and they did the same for a sold out Forum. Quite an operation to get that many phones but so much better for it.
Art museums need it the most. It's no longer possible to really enjoy some of our greatest works of art, just a room of phone addicts taking bad photos of something that's been expertly photographed countless times before.

Solid show the openers were Michelle Wolf, Donnell Rawlings.
Dave was Dave which means killing with great material. There was an issue with the sound and some guy in the front row came up and fixed it. Dave gave him one of his cigs. There was also a 10 year old kid at the show.
There was a 10 y/o in the crowd with his father, canvassing for Yang, that were involved in many off the cuff bits. Feedback on a speaker that was fixed by a guy in the front row and a security guards radio that went off. I don’t want to butcher the jokes but I thought they were as funny as his normal bits. The fact that they were totally unforeseen just makes you feel like you are sitting in a room with greatness. I think we all have funny people in our lives that can make any situation funny. It’s that x10. Great show
I wish I would have paid the extra $20 for a better seat. Next time there is a comic I’m excited for I will splurge for premium seats. I was in row 22 which was much farther then I would have liked. I’ve been in Stephens for many concerts but haven’t been for a comedy show since Burr. Next time...
I was row 27 (farthest I've ever been back at Stephen's for a performance) which was 2 from the way back. Still a great view.
I heard about the bits with the 10 year old and the guy who fixed the buzzing sound. Made me wonder if they are part of the act. For instance, don't they have a sound guy positioned right up next to the stage to take care of stuff like that?
I thought Donnell was fantastic as well. I hadn't laughed that hard in awhile. So glad i paid for 7th row seats, hell of a show!
No, it was a tinfoil comment. You’re heavily exaggerating how many people were “upset”.
I think it had to be. When you went on Ticketmaster well after the on sale date if there were seats to buy they were from people reselling.
What an absolute power move by Dave. Love this!
