Dave Chappelle may have garnered an Emmy nomination for his controversial 'The Closer' special, but today the comic was booted out of one of Minneapolis’ most storied venues for his often wounding take on the Transgender community
special, but today the comic was booted out of one of Minneapolis’ most storied venues for his often wounding take on the Transgender community.
Mere hours before the Mark Twain Prize winner was set to step on to the stage at the Minnesota metropolis’ First Avenue, organizers pulled the plug on the sold out show. Citing a backlash against Chappelle’s perceived transphobic remarks, First Avenue management cancelled his protested performance at the venue and moved him to the nearby Varsity Theater.
Attention Dave Chappelle Fans! The show scheduled for tonight at First Ave has now been moved to Varsity Theater. Your tickets from First Ave will be honored. Doors open at 8PM and we highly recommend arriving early.
