Dave Chappelle -- Who Knew I Was Famous?

Posted Jul 15th 2009 2:00AM by TMZ Staff

Dave Chappelle attempted an impromptu stand-up routine outside of the Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland early this morning -- but Dave's ignorance of his own popularity ended up ruining the show.



For some reason, Chappelle wasn't expecting many people to show up, arriving at around 1 AM carrying a tiny amplifier. Turns out over 4,000 people showed up, according to Oregonlive.com.

Dave ended up leaving at around 2 AM after explaining it was impossible to put on a show under those conditions.

Dave Chappelle: "TMZ Be F***in' People Up!"

Posted Dec 4th 2007 1:09PM by TMZ Staff

The hilarious comedian was outside the Ivy restaurant in L.A. yesterday, where he was literally stunned by the amount of attention he received from photogs.


Dave must think laying low makes people forget about him -- hardly. He just broke his own stand-up record at the Laugh Factory -- performing for over 6 hours. He's got endurance, betch!
