Shut the hell up Daniellewis3, it has never been about money with Dave. The show was dissapointing because of those Austin shitheads.

Most accurate comment I’ve heard about Austin all week –> His mistake was in coming to a town that’s been on the Coolest Places To Live lists for ten years too long

I had a good time at the show. The opener was a riot. Dude had me in tears. The hecklers were wack but Dave turned all of there attention whoring tactics into jokes (i.e. the cigarette bitch). That mess was hilarious when he told her to close her eyes and he’d hold the cig. I got hella respect for him being so quick on his feet without having to go h.a.m on every audience member that spoke up. You could tell he’s working on new material but he had some to tell if folks stopped interrupting right when he got into the joke. He got a chance to perform some of it in Dallas the night before because they were a little more respectful. Watch his old comedy and you’ll notice he always does those pauses. I’m sure he’s getting his thoughts together or doing it for comedic effect to keep the crowd wondering whats next. Austinites were embarrassing to say the least last night. He may not have had a whole show worth of material but they didn’t even show him the courtesy to get through the stuff he had. He may have done a free-for-all at the end. We’ll never know now because dumbasses were too busy making pig noises, and screaming, “Dave Chappelle’s in the house” or old Half Baked references. If that’s what you wanna do, you should’ve stayed home, ate your shrooms, and screamed at old comedy central specials of his stand up. Don’t come to a show and ruin the shit for everybody thinking you’re funnier than A FUCKIN HEADLINER FOR A COMEDY SHOW! I take it back, those were assholes Dave, not Austinites. We appreciate what you’ve done for comedy and hope last night doesn’t deter you from coming back to the ATX.

I had a pretty good time at the show. The heckling was embarrassing, but Dave rolled with it. He had at least 30-45 minutes of prepared material that he delivered during the show, and when he was running with a joke the audience would shut up. Dave seemed to realize this too, he did say that “This show made me realize I gotta get my game tight.”

The heckling wasn’t mean-spirited, for the most part. It was just drunk people yelling things. Dave needed a respectful theater audience who who grant him some extended silences, but he wasn’t getting it. I wish that the audience would have shut up, but what can you do? Just do what Dave did and laugh at the whole situation, I guess.

@daniellewis3-You must have been one of the hecklers. It wasn’t Dave that ruined the night for everyone. It was the moronic hecklers.

Very disappointing show! Dave made it perry clear that he went on stage just to get paid, not to make us laugh!
