Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

      No. Reddit is milquetoast and complaining about Dave Chappelle’s sense of humor is the ultimate redditor POV. Only butthurt fascists get bent out of shape about what comedians are saying, we all know he said things like that 20 years ago so why do you care now? People have different taste in comedy just like they have different genders so I don’t see why he’s not allowed to have an opinion according to internet users. Is it because he’s black?
