Dave Chappelle's Detroit Show Leaves Fans Demanding Refunds
Depending on who you ask, Dave Chappelle's show at The Fillmore in Detroit on Thursday evening ended in laughter and chaos, as the comedian was repeatedly heckled by the crowd.
In a video sent to TMZ, fans claimed the comedian showed up late to his 9:30 p.m. show on Thursday night, causing fans to become uneasy. Once the comedian took the the stage, fans began to boo him as he interacted with some of the audience members and reportedly spoke in a slurred manner. Some fans claim the comedian stopped telling jokes and hundreds of people left the theater.
The city's local news website, Click on Detroit, gave the comedian a glowing review and hinted Dave's trouble with the city goes back a few years when he was booed off the stage by a "tough" crowd.
Fans are now demanding a refund for the show. Tickets ranged from $50 to over $200. A representative for The Fillmore says refunds will not be given because they are not subject to the artists' content on stage.
Representatives of the comedian say that the former GQ "Man of the Year" was aware of his gaffes and made sure Friday's show was better than the rest.
He also will return to the stage tonight to round out his three-day run.
