Dave Chappelle’s Biography

Inspired by the sitcom The Cosby Show and its star, comedian Bill Cosby, Chappelle decided he, too, wanted to have a career as a comedian. As a high school student at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., Chappelle began a stand-up career. Because he was underage, his mother often had to accompany him to clubs as a legal guardian. Even at an early age, Chappelle’s brand of humor was controversial, leading to frequent heckling \he was even booed offstage during amateur night at New York’s famous Apollo Theatre.

Chapelle decided to forgo college to start a stand-up career in New York City. By the early 1990s, he was earning accolades for his comedy. He then began making appearances in films such as Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993), The Nutty Professor (1996), and Half Baked (1998).

In 2003, Chapelle landed his own show on the Comedy Central cable network called Chapelle’s Show. Chapelle received two Emmy nominations for the wildly popular and controversial show, which frequently addressed race relations and featured musical guests. Chapelle’s Show was about to begin its third season, when Chappelle abruptly left during production. Unhappy with the direction the show had taken; stressed by the pressure from network executives to change the tone of the comedy; and emotionally worn from his father’s 1998 death, Chappelle left the United States to visit South Africa. Upon his return, he began a more reclusive life, moving to Yellow Springs, Ohio, and appearing publicly in only a handful of stand-up comedy appearances.
