Netflix Defends “The Right of Stand-Up Comedians” in a Short Response After Dave Chappelle Got Attacked

Apart from being funny, Netflix Is A Joke Festival has also been in the news for
a rather notorious incident as well. A man from the audience went on the stage
and attacked comedian Dave Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Following the incident, the streaming giant finally released a statement in
support of Chappelle and also strongly condemned the entire incident.

Dave Chappelle was performing at Netflix Is A Joke Festival when someone from
the audience went on the stage and tried to tackle the comedian. And even though
the internet has been largely about laughing at the jokes that followed, it is
true that this attack on him is condemnable. Hence, Netflix itself has come out
to support Chappelle.

during one of its events. “We care deeply about the safety of creators and we
strongly defend the right of stand-up comedians to perform on stage without fear
of violence,” Netflix’s spokesperson said. The incident occurred during th final
moments of Chappelle’s performance at the event last night.

The comedian’s production company also released a statement where they refuse to
let this incident overshadow his comedy set. “Dave Chappelle
[http://Netflixjunkie.com/tag/dave-chappelle/] celebrated four nights of comedy
and music, setting record-breaking sales for a comedian at the Hollywood Bowl.
This run ties Chappelle with Monty Python for the most headlined shows by any
comedian at the Hollywood Bowl, reaching 70k fans of diverse backgrounds during
the first Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival and he refuses to allow last night’s
incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment,” the statement read.

This incident happened almost a month after the entire slapgate controversy at
the Oscars 2022. Hence, we also saw Chris Rock come onto the stage
