Dave Chappelle Chokes On Stage

This past weekend was Alonzo Mourning's Zo Summer Grove charity event in Miami. Dave Chappelle was apart the popular charity this year. However, seems like Dave wasn't having a good night. The funny man that we all know choke on stage while performing his stand-up comedy. Chappelle yelled at fans, who were recording his performance and checked his text message from the stage. He then stop telling jokes, but fans cheered him on to give him some encouragement. Still not giving the fans what they want, they booed him off stage. Amongst the audeince was TV One and CNN analyst Roland Martin, who tweeted Dave's behavior from the show:

“This Dave Chappelle set is bizarre. He’s spent more time going back & forth with one audience member, & pretty much stopped telling jokes. One woman just yelled, “Can you tell a joke so we can enjoy ourselves!” He got texted four times during his show and actually checked them. I’m just not understanding what threw him off. He’s complained about folks videotaping his set, yelling out loud. I don’t get it. “This crowd is as serious as hell,” he says.

Dave, we’re trying to figure out what we’ve listened to for the last 25 minutes. Chappelle says this is a “test of wills.” He keeps saying “tick tock” & he has “nothing but time.” He’s just staring at the crowd & sighing. “As s—ty as the show is, I can’t wait to explain this on CNN.” Dave Chappelle complaining about a guy taping his whole show. Then Dave started talking to me, asking if I was putting this on CNN. Yes, from the stage! He’s been on stage 46 minutes & told one joke. He kept saying “I respect your work.” And then said, He’ll send me a tape of his better comedy work. This is a trip! One of Chappelle’s folks told me he hates hecklers, and that totally threw him off. And every little thing that happened just took him off.”
