Minneapolis theater CANCELS 1,500-ticket Dave Chappelle show at last minute and apologizes for 'failing to be a safe space' after woke group's 125-signature complaint over star's 'transphobic' jokes A Minneapolis theater canceled Dave Chappelle's sold-out show at the 11th hour on Wednesday to appease a group of woke protesters who threatened violence if the star was allowed to perform. First Avenue, a storied Minneapolis venue, canceled the show just hours before the famous comedian, 48, was supposed to hit the stage, bowing to the demands of MnUprising, a woke activism group which labeled Chappelle a transphobe. The group complained that Chappelle 'harmed' them with his 'transphobic views'. They launched a Change.org petition and attracted 125 signatures - a 12th of the crowd expected at the show on Wednesday night. It was enough to persuade First Avenue to ditch the event, despite having sold 1,500 tickets at $129.50-a-pop, a total of nearly $200,000 which they would have taken a handsome slice of.
yes. I'd be interested to hear from a proud woke Biden voter on their thoughts about this.bighat??
