Michelle Buteau Calls Out Dave Chappelle's Anti-Trans Jokes In Netflix Special
HuffPost
In the special, Buteau says she doesn't get how “someone could make millions of dollars for making people feel unsafe.”
Michelle Buteau is known for providing a hearty chuckle, but this time she’s taking a page out of Lori Beth Denberg’s book and delivering some vital information for Dave Chappelle’s everyday comedic life.
In her new Netflix comedy special, “Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall,” she addressed Chappelle’s history of attacking the transgender community during his stand-up routines.
The special, which was released on New Year’s Eve, marks the first time that a woman has filmed a comedy special at the historic Manhattan venue.
After recounting a hilarious story about one of her friends who is a lesbian, Buteau explains that comedians can, in fact, “tell jokes and stories and not disparage a whole community.”
“We can do that,” she continues. “We can make it funny, we just have to work at it. So if you guys ever run into Dave Chappelle, can you let him know that shit? I don’t think he knows that shit.”
