Disappointed Dave Chappelle fans are demanding a refund after receiving a poor performance Thursday at the Fillmore Detroit.
Multiple people say Chappelle took the stage an hour late, which was partially due to the audience still taking their seats, TMZ reports.
Once Chappelle took the stage he told very few jokes and sat quietly smoking, rambling and slurring his speech.
In a video obtained by TMZ, someone in the crowd yells, "Let's hear some of the act!"
"Well sir, it's a little late for that. Right now I've gotta get off the stage because it's 2:00 in the morning," Chappelle responds although the crowd informs him that it is only 1:00 am.
Fans, who were at the show, have since taken to Facebook and Twitter to express their disappointment. Some even demanded their money back, New York Daily News notes.
“Fillmore giving out refunds for that crap show last night? Paid good money to see a comedy show. Not dave Chappell chatting with audience,” Jaime Ruzik wrote on Fillmore Detroit’s Facebook page.
“He was slurry and NOT FUNNY at all. What a waste of my time and money,” Rachel Jennings Montgomery chimed in on the page.
A rep for Chappelle admitted to TMZ that Thursday wasn't Chappelle’s best night.
"Out of the 50 shows on the tour, Thursday was definitely not his best set On the flip side, the incident inspired some additional sharp-witted material and (Friday) he came back with a vengeance."
Dave Chappelle = biggest disappointment. Showed up drunk and literally told two jokes over two hours.
