Jesus Christ! I can't even begin to imagine being on stage for that long.

Chappelle pulls all-nighter at Factory
Comedian sets mark for longest performance
By JOSEF ADALIAN
Anyone who bought a ticket to the Laugh Factory on Sunday night ended up getting two surprises.

The first came when Dave Chappelle appeared onstage at 10:36 p.m. for an unannounced set. The second shocker: Chappelle kept telling jokes until 4:43 the next morning--- making his entire set a whopping six hours and seven minutes.

That's the longest performance by any comedian in the the 28-year history of the Laugh Factory, according to founder Jamie Masada.

Amazingly, the previous record was established just a few days earlier. On April 10, Dane Cook performed his own marathon act, appearing on stage for three hours and fifty minutes.

"It was just one of those nights," Masada said of Chappelle's appearance. "He had everyone laughing for six hours."

Indeed, Masada said only about a dozen of the 150-plus original members of the audience left the club before Chappelle wrapped his set. "The audience was with him 100 percent," he said.

Chappelle didn't take any bathroom breaks. And Laugh Factory staff stopped serving alcohol around midnight, Masada said.

Not surprisingly, Chappelle covered a multitude of topics during his megaset, tackling everything from President Bush's intelligence (or lack thereof) to Comedy Central's decision to hype Carlos Mencia after Chappelle abandoned his show for the cabler.

Chappelle also took on Michael Richards' headline-making Laugh Factory set from last year, as well as Masada's decision to impose a fine on any comic who uses the "N"-word onstage.

"I was his punching bag for a half hour," Masada said. Chappelle was assessed a $2200 penalty for using the offending word.

Masada said the perf wasn't officially videotaped but that Chappelle made several references to trying to break the club's length record.

By contrast, Cook's supersized set seemed more of an accident, serving as almost therapy following the death of Cook's father earlier this month. "It was a sad thing," Masada said. "He wanted to honor him."

Pryor's now broken record was set in 1980, when the comedian performed for 2 hours and 41 minutes.

hopefully by "not officially videotaped" that means we'll see some of this show pop up

i was really worried for a while that he'd disappear into obscurity after this whole Chappelle Show fiasco, but im glad he's still out doing what he loves.

that dude is too funny to just stop

(and it might, I only know about the one on Sunset).

But damn, that's a long-ass. I probably would have gone next door and got a sandwich from Greenblats at some point.

I make sure to stop there a roast beef sandwich and the yams whenever I'm in LA. That place kicks Kanter's ass.

your an idiot!

with only a dozen or so leaving?

Amazing. There's no reason to really even attach adjectives to this, though. Anyone that reads that already knows the caliber of performer involved.

It had to be exhausting just being in the audience, let alone on stage!!

I really hope to see Chapelle perform in person in my lifetime

My brother went to a show of his in Denver, and he said Chapelle went on for something like three or four hours, telling the crowd that they deserved it since the tickets were $40.

That to me is the most impressive thing. Too keep the audience laughing that long shows what a truly amazing talent Dave is.

and also Sarah Silverman. I think Silverman especially specializes in what he was afraid he was becoming: Racial comedy that people laugh at for the wrong reasons.

or silverman, but especially mencia?

wondered why there seemed to be people still milling about

i wish i could have witnessed that.

I'm most impressed he didnt take a piss for 6+ hours.

Although, I don't know why he doesn't just do a weekend here.

It was a midnight show and we didn't get out of there until after 3AM. My homie fell asleep at the table. Couple of folks left (it was a Thursday night) but most stayed til the end.

He had to smoke a minimum of 2 packs of cigarrettes. It was worth every penny.

loving what you do.
I wonder if he stood the whole time?

screen
he needs to just do another show somewhere
maybe hbo or some shit

he did two shows on the night I saw him in Pittsburgh. I went to the later show, and after he was suppose to be done he was like "What am I gonna do, goto the hotel and masturbate? I got nothing to do! I'm staying" and he kept just improving stuff about the news and it was the funniest part of the whole show. I was actually part of the show, we had a whole dialogue in front of like 300 people that were there in the audience.... basically what happened was he was like "Ok people shout things out in the news or you want to takl about" and people would shout out random things like someone was like "Will you do season 3?" and Dave pointed at him and was like "Nice try Comedy Central, I knew you were around here somewhere!"... but the best part was when he was like "Ok Pittsburgh, fuck all this, I want to hear your grimyest dirtiest sex stories and I'll tell you mine" and he would listen to random people who would shout stuff out, like one guy was like "I fucked a girl with a mohawk" and he was like "That aint crazy! I fucked a girl with a purple pussy" and started laughing at himself. Then another dude was like "I had sex in an elevator" and he was like "Damn, I couldnt do that, I'd be done by the time it got to the 2nd floor, it's be like DING DING, nut, cya bitch!" that shit had everyone doing. Then where I come in, I was like "Yo Dave! I fucked a girl who used to shit the bed", and he looked at me and was like "Oh my god! That's nasty... do you still talk to her?!" and I was like "Nah Nah, I had to cut her off" and he looked at me and was like "Yeaaaah right... you know you still call her sometimes at 3 AM like 'It's okay girl, everyone shits the bed now and then'"... lol, it was classic, I wonder if anyone has that on video, it was honestly like one of the first shows he did after he came back from Africa, but I would be in the video which would be wild.

Anyways, funniest thing I ever experienced in my life.

And I ain't talking Johnny Carson or anything like that. A revloutionary format where he goes to comedy clubs and just talks to folks for a couple of hours. He could pull it off.
