Chappelle Tries the "Flash Mob" Thing in Portland



Reclusive comic, Dave Chappelle, surprised downtown Portland, Oregon by performing a giant free one hour stand-up comedy event at about midnight Tuesday at Pioneer Square. The event was only rumored on Facebook and Twitter, but drew a huge crowd despite the late hour it was held(and there's nothing else to do in Portland at any time of the day).Turning on an amplifier described as "the size of a toaster," Chappelle addressed the audience, most of whom could not hear him, thanking the Portland Police for being "kind enough not to arrest me." His guerrilla comedy events seem to indicate something brewing for this comic genius.

  1. This isn't the same as a few years ago. Everyone saw that Block Party movie. No one is going to keep quiet about a free concert again.
