A theater in Minnesota has cancelled an upcoming appearance by comedian Dave Chappelle after a humourless woke mob repeatedly complained about the venue giving a platform to his ‘transphobic’ jokes.
If you don't like a comedian, don't go see him.

That's how it works, right?
The First Avenue venue made the announcement Thursday, stating “We hear you,” and explaining “The Dave Chappelle show tonight at First Avenue has been canceled and is moving to the Varsity Theater.”
It continued, “The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country, and we will continue with that mission.”
The venue claimed “We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honoring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have.”
Clearly they don’t believe in that because they immediately caved to a few angry wokesters who demanded censorship of jokes.
“We know there are some who will not agree with this decision; you are welcome to send feedback,” the statement also noted.
Lets hope they’re prepared for that.
Chappelle’s last special was loved by the general public and hated by mainstream critics and alphabet people who immediately set about trying to get Netflix to pull it and ban the comedian.
Joyless censors are an extremist minority, but one that enjoys establishment support.
As we also previously highlighted, the man who attacked Chappelle on stage in LA earlier this year and was later charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon has admitted that he was ‘triggered’ by Chappelle joking about trans people.
Chapelle himself said at a recent performance that “If this is what being canceled is like, I love it,” adding “F*** Twitter. This is real life.”
