Dave Chappelle refuses to allow onstage attack to ‘overshadow’ comedy festival | Entertainment

The comedian was performing as part of the Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival when a man rushed at him and tackled him to the floor. Security guards detained the suspect, and Jamie Foxx quickly took to the stage to help calm the crowd. His representative said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “The performances by Dave Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record-breaking and he refuses to allow last night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment.”
