Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

    It’s crazy to me that he bitches about racism still being an issue, while he spreads hate and bigotry on another minority group.

      He is right about racism, and it’s fine if his cause involves fighting it. But you’re right, bigotry and hate on others is BAD.
