Everyone’s Talking About Dave Chapelle’s Gig But NOT Because Of His Set

The nearly sold-out Dave Chapelle gig at the DWTC has everyone talking, and not just because he put on a reportedly brilliant show.

First, guests were strictly denied access to their phones during the show, and then a heckler made nearly as much noise as Chapelle, according to some reports.

Phones can be distracting, people using phones can be even more distracting, and most importantly, people sharing the content of a performer ruins it for future attendees. So the organisers decision to ban phones isn’t an uncommon one – but the strict approach taken was a first for many concert goers in the UAE.

Phones and cameras were placed in Youndr pouches, magnetic pouches guests can keep hold of but means you can only access your phone in certain areas of the venue

Finally, a gig where people actually enjoy the show

Usually Dave Chapelle brings the controversy, last night it was a woman sitting up front who reportedly heckled the comedian during his performance

Brilliant show, but a heckler made it memorable

People were disappointed with the length of the performance

There’s a mixed bag of reviews on Twitter – with the majority loving the show overall

“Keeping it funny, but very real’

A big fan here…

And not so much…
