Dave Chappelle: Equanimity (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #39 extract: Dave Chappelle: Equanimity (2017)

Certainly the strongest of Chappelle's Netflix specials, this provided some pretty big laughs. I loved Chapelle's ability to retain a hard opinion and self-assured persona whilst juggling difficult subject matter. This allows for a comedic pressure to be built and let loose with brilliant effects. 

I don't think Chappelle is the best to ever pick up a mic, but in Equanimity it is obvious that he is a true virtuoso who has (periodically) been at the top of the comedic world for decades. An hour well spent: recommended.
