Dave Chappelle’s Six-Hour Jokefest
Keeping a conversation with your best friend going for over an hour is tough enough. Imagine if you have to speak with microphone in hand to a crowd, few of which are your friends, and make them laugh for over six hours.
That is what comedian Dave Chappelle just did last Sunday at L.A.’s Laugh Factory, telling jokes for six hours and seven minutes to an appreciative crowd. The feat, which club owner Jamie Masada described as “absolutely amazing”, broke the three-hour, 50-minute performance set by Dane Cook earlier this month at the club.
Boy, that’s even longer than the longest speech in United Nations history, delivered in four hours and 29 minutes by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in 1960. But then again, Castro’s speech that day probably worked better than any sleeping pill, while Chappelle had his audience rolling in the aisles.
Chappelle must have drank gallons of water throughout his routine. I mean, talking that long can make your mouth and throat drier than a nun’s cooch.
