Dave Chappelle makes ghoulish joke about Charlie Kirk at MSG
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Comedian Dave Chappelle told a sold-out Madison Square Garden audience that he has felt "better" since Charlie Kirk was murdered, eliciting laughter and applause during his "Karmageddon" tour and New York Comedy Festival shows.
- Chappelle's remarks, which were recorded and circulated on social media, included him saying he didn’t ask to feel this way and found it scary to express such feelings publicly.
- Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University; Tyler Robinson has been charged with his murder.
- This recent comment contrasts with Chappelle’s earlier December 2025 Netflix special, where he expressed being shaken by Kirk's shooting and rejected comparisons between Kirk and Martin Luther King Jr.
- The shows were advertised as phone-free events with devices sealed in Yondr pouches, making the circulation of the clip notable.
