The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:

March 19 to 25, 2017 (15th)

he apparently started performing stand up around the dc area at age 14 in 1987, not 1990.

according to britannica.com, chappelle started doing stand up around dc in 1987 when he was only 14. im wondering if this is enough to change his “active since” from 1990 or 1987?

if not, is it grounds to seek out further verification?

its not a big deal to me either way, but if anybody decides to reply here, please ping me or whatever so i get a notification the next time i log in.

thank you. Snarevox (talk) 00:13, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Derpypickle, a reference to a reliable, independent, published source would be required to add a mention of this business venture. Cullen328 (talk) 00:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
