“Nobodys Safe”: Dave Chappelle Attack Raises Fears For Performers
Perhaps the most recurring stand-up comedy theme in recent years is the fact that actors are no longer a safe creative space; some fans control their nervous content and are always willing to post on Twitter about crossover players. accepted line. Many began confiscating their phones before the show, believing that perhaps the biggest threat was the hidden Galaxy and iPhone.
But the scene was becoming an increasingly dangerous place.
Will Smith's attack on Chris Rock on the Oscars stage in March shook the world. In another security breach, even though the comedian was not attacked during the show, he confronted actress Olivia Wilde at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month with Jason Sudeikis' control documents (he says he didn't know he had papers). will be presented). these modes). And then on Tuesday, Dave Chappelle was attacked by a boat owner who fled the scene during filming at the Hollywood Bowl at Netflix's Is a Joke comedy festival.
After the Oscars, several comedians expressed concern that Smith's actions might lead to additional attacks on stage. "Now we all have to worry about who Will Smith's future theater and comedy club wants to be," said Kathy Griffin.
Concerns seemed misplaced: Oscar looked absolutely stunning. But now there is growing concern for the actor's safety alive with Chappelle's attack.
"The first reaction: 'Look, we're leaving again,' and the second reaction is, 'No one is safe,'" he said. “There were several attempted group attacks. We allowed them to give creative speeches on stage, but we did not take the necessary steps to ensure they were protected. The security team is to blame for not taking adequate measures to prevent [attackers] from reaching the [comic]. That's a good thing and it should end here."
Noam Dvorman, owner of Comedy Basement, didn't think the Oscars would cause a further attack on the comedian, but now he's not so sure.
"What happened to Dave was more disturbing [than Smith's Rock] and beyond comedy," Dvorman said in the caption. "This is true. It was premeditated and dangerous, and it seems to be part of a general violent trend that pervades many parts of American life. I'm very, very glad you were kind. "We always had basement security, but from Por Of course they would love us."
Netflix said in a statement: "We value the safety of creators and strongly support the right of comedians to appear on stage without fear of violence." A source on the broadcast said that security is handled by countries and that Netflix is "actively discussing security protocols for upcoming shows."
YouTube Theatre, which hosts the upcoming Netflix show Is a Joke, said in a statement, "YouTheater has trusted space security on all of our shows and strives to provide a safe, comfortable and enjoyable entertainment experience. We ask everyone to stop by." the magnetometer. forward on camera.
Chappelle also said in a statement that "last night's incident refuses to obscure the magic of this historic moment." After the 2021 special The Closer, teased by many as transphobic staff and called staff, the comedian made a seemingly prescient comment: "You said you want a safe work environment at Netflix. I think I'm the only one who can." No. "Go to the office."
Comics almost completely shut down after the Twitter incident, perhaps because they didn't want to talk about Chappelle, who is respected by many in the industry. But conservative comedian Nick Di Paolo, who took the stage in 2018, said he touched on the subject in a podcast on Wednesday.
Di Paolo said: "The case of Will Smith after planting seeds in some nuts is now something to emulate" (the reason for the suspicion has not been disclosed). "This is just like any other crime... My comedian, defend yourself."
Flagg emphasized that steps could be taken to improve safety, while saying he has spoken with others who have taken such steps in the field of humor.
First of all, oddly enough, the audience needs to be reminded before the show that comedy is not to be taken literally or personally, I have to deal with something physical and verbal...it has to be better. communication before buying tickets. "or create an obstacle (for example, the upper scene).
"Comics as professionals really don't do them justice; you have to give them a chance to try and fail," says Flagg. "This is true. The reactions they want are smiles, laughter, happiness. They're not ready to fight or even argue. I think this translation is missing for some reason."
