Dave Chappelle Zoom Bombs SF’s “Black Laughs Matter” Comedy Show
Every Saturday night at 8pm Funcheap and HellaFunny put on a live online comedy show “Black Laughs Matter” showcasing our favorite up and coming black comics from the Bay and around the country.
The show is hosted by Chris Riggins, an accomplished Bay Area comedian and Berkeley native who opens for Dave Chappelle whenever he performs in the Bay Area.
Normally the show is streamed live from the East Bay, but like so many people working remotely, this past Saturday, Chris took the show on the road and happened to be working remotely Yellow Springs, Ohio for an event – the same Yellow Spings where Dave Chappelle lives.
During the live zoom comedy show, a familiar face popped onto the screen and flashed a huge smile. None other than Dave Chappelle. He said a short hello to the live audience, wished San Francisco and the Bay Area well and then he was gone as quickly as he appeared.
Unfortunately, our comedy shows are never recorded (they are intended to be one-off live experiences) but fortunately we got a screen grab for posterity.
So we guess that means that literally, you never know who will show up on one of our online zoom interactive comedy shows. (Though we doubt we’ll see Dave for a long while). We hope you join us for one of our upcoming Black Laughs Matter comedy showcases and donate to help support black comics.
