Dave Chappelle's Hilarious First Visit to Britain | The Word (1995)

Before he became one of the biggest comedians in the world, a 21-year-old Dave Chappelle stopped by Channel 4's legendary late-night show The Word.
In this rare 1995 interview, Chappelle talks about:
😂 Becoming a comedian because he couldn't make the basketball team
🏀 Using humour to survive growing up in Washington D.C.
🇬🇧 His first impressions of Britain and British nightlife
🤭 His mum accompanying him into comedy clubs when he was just 14
🐐 And one of the strangest TV conversations you'll ever hear about... goat dressing!
A fascinating glimpse of a future comedy superstar at the very start of his career.
