Maybe he should have pulled an R. Kelly

Dave Chappelle was disqualified from the competition for the endurance title at the Laugh Factory in L.A. because he left the stage to use the restroom. Chappelle lasted five hours before nature called, prompting club owner Jamie Masada to disqualify him. "There are only two rules," Masada said Tuesday. "You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can't leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom." Richard Pryor set the original record at the Laugh Factory by performing for two hours, 41 minutes, in 1980. Comedian Dane Cook broke Pryor's recorod 27 years later with a three-hour, 50-minute set. Chappelle raised the bar to six hours, seven minutes before Cook took the record back last year turning in a seven-hour, 34 minute performance..

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.
