Born David Khari Webber Chappelle on 24th of August 1973 in Washington, the comedian’s parents who were professors separated when he was 6 years old, which made David split his time between Washington and Ohio.

Chappelle knew he wanted to be a comedian after he saw the sitcom “The Cosby Show” starring Bill Cosby. His mother used to accompany him to the clubs where he was performing, as he was underage and needed a legal guardian. His humor was from an early age a controversial one, which caused the audience’s intense booing during the amateur night at “Apollo Theatre” from New York. Chappelle decided to follow a stand-up career in New York instead of going to college. He made his movie debut in the 1993 parody Robin Hood: Men in Tights”. In 1994 he was the youngest comedian to appear on the HBO special production “Comic Relief VI”. His movie career meant parts in

The Nutty Professor” from 1996, alongside Eddie Murphy, the WooYou’ve Got Mail” from 1998 and “Half Baked” released the same year.

The beginning of the new millennium took Chappelle in the comedy special “Killin’ Them Softly from 2000 and in the film “Undercover Brother from 2002.

In 2003, Chappelle began his own show, called Chappelle’s Show” on “Comedy Central”. He received two nominations for “Emmy” awards and his provocative humor, which often addressed interracial relations, caught the attention of TV celebrities such as James Lipton and Oprah Winfrey. After two seasons, Comedy Central reportedly offered him a $50 million deal for a two-year contract. Then all of a sudden, on the verge of third season debut, Chappelle took off. He left U.S.A and headed for South Africa, mainly because he was unsatisfied with the direction his show was taking and because he was facing intense pressure from the “Comedy Central” executives, who were asking him to change the tone of his humor. He returned to the States, moved to Ohio and started to live a solitary life, with only a few public appearances. After releasing in 2006 the documentary Dave Chappelle’s Block Party”, in 2013 Chappelle began his return to stand-up comedy. About his absence, he said that “it’s easier to resign as the Pope than it is to quit a cable show”. His comeback to comedy was marked by a “Grammy” award won in 2018 for “The Age of Spin & Deep in the Heart of Texas” as “Best Comedy Album”. As for personal life, Dave Chappelle is married to Elaine and has together one daughter – Sonal and two sons – Sulayman and Ibrahim.
