Dave Chappelle jokes about trans, disabled people in new special ‘The Dreamer’
NY Post
Dave Chappelle once again takes aim at the transgender community, as well as people with disabilities, in his new stand-up special “The Dreamer,” which dropped Sunday on Netflix.
Chappelle, 50, opens the set by recalling the time he met actor Jim Carrey, 61, on the set of “Man on the Moon,” Deadline reports. Carrey plays the late performer Andy Kaufman in the 1999 film.
“I was very disappointed because I wanted to meet Jim Carrey and I had to pretend he was Andy Kaufman all afternoon. It was clearly Jim Carrey. I could look at him and clearly see it was Jim Carrey,” Chappelle says while setting up the punchline.
“I say all that to say … that’s how trans people make me feel,” Chappelle said.
Chappelle then moves on to people with disabilities.
“Tonight, I’m doing all handicapped jokes,” he said. “They’re not as organized as the gays, and I love punching down.”
