Born David Khari Webber Chappelle on the 24th August 1973, in Washington D.C. USA, he is the son of William David Chappelle III, who was a statistician and later a professor at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and his wife, Yvonne K. Chappelle Seon, who was a professor at Howard University, the University of Maryland, and Prince George’s Community College. He has two older siblings and also has a step-brother and step-mother since his parents divorced and his father remarried.

After the divorce of his parents, Dave remained with his mother in Silver Spring, Maryland and later matriculated from Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where he studied theatre arts.

Career Beginnings

In his childhood years, Dave could always make people laugh and by watching Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, he decided that comedy was his true calling. After matriculating, he moved to New York City in pursuit of his career, and started off in minor comedy clubs, until reaching the Apollo Theater during the Amateur Night, but was booed off the stage like many others who stepped onto that particular stage. Nevertheless, this encouraged him to continue to follow his dreams; everyday, Dave would make a new comedy routine, and it eventually paid off.

Being open-minded and somewhat controversial only helped Dave make his way up, however, it wasn’t until he appeared in the comedy film “The Nutty Professor” that Dave’s name became popular.

Regardless, Dave continued quite successfully and went on tour across the US. He has returned to TV in recent years, first with the role of Morris in the film “Chi-Raq” (2015), and then with the pair of Netflix specials “Dave Chappelle: The Bird Revelation” (2017), and “Dave Chappelle: Equanimity” (2017), while most recently he portrayed George ‘Noodles’ Stone in the film “A Star Is Born” (2018).
