Dave Chappelle jokes about trans, disabled people in ‘The Dreamer’

Dave Chappelle once again takes aim at the transgender community, as well as people with disabilities, in his new stand-up special “The Dreamer,” which dropped Sunday on Netflix.

Chappelle, 50, opens the set by recalling the time he met actor Jim Carrey, 61, on the set of “Man on the Moon,” Deadline reports. Carrey plays the late performer Andy Kaufman in the 1999 film.

“I was very disappointed because I wanted to meet Jim Carrey and I had to pretend he was Andy Kaufman all afternoon. It was clearly Jim Carrey. I could look at him and clearly see it was Jim Carrey,” Chappelle says while setting up the punchline.

“I say all that to say … that’s how trans people make me feel,” Chappelle said.

Chappelle then moves on to people with disabilities.

“Tonight, I’m doing all handicapped jokes,” he said. “They’re not as organized as the gays, and I love punching down.”

Chappelle’s jabs include a bit where he reports meeting former North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn, 28, who uses a wheelchair after he was partially paralyzed in a 2014 car crash.

“I just walked away,” Chappelle jokes. “I wanted him to see me do something he couldn’t do. I skipped.”

The comic eventually revisits transgenderism in “The Dreamer” — he had ridiculed the community in his 2021 special “The Closer,” which sparked a massive employee walkout at Netflix as well as protests.

“We value our trans colleagues and allies, and understand the deep hurt that’s been caused,” a Netflix spokesperson said at the time. “We respect the decision of any employee who chooses to walk out, and recognize we have much more work to do both within Netflix and in our content.”

The Post reached out to Netflix reps about “The Dreamer.”

“To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to repair my relationship with the transgender community ’cause I don’t want them to think that I don’t like them,” Chappelle explains in the new special. “You know how I’ve been repairing it? I wrote a play. I did. Cause I know that gays love plays.”

“It’s a very sad play. But it’s moving,” he continues, adding the show is about a black transgender woman whose pronouns are a racial slur. “It’s a tear-jerker. At the end of the play, she dies of loneliness cause white liberals don’t know how to speak to her. It’s sad.”

Later, he quips, “God forbid I ever go to jail. But if I do, I hope it’s in California. Soon as the judge sentences me, I’ll be like, ‘Before you sentence me, I want the court to know I identify as a woman. Send me to a woman’s jail.’ As soon I get in there, you know what I’mma be doing. ‘Give me your fruit cocktail, b—h, before I knock your motherf–king teeth out. I’m a girl, just like you, b—h. Come here and suck this girl d–k I got. Don’t make me explain myself. I’m a girl.’”

Chappelle’s routine dropped days after the “Half Baked” actor stormed off the stage during a Florida gig on Wednesday after he caught an audience member using a cellphone.

According to the Miami Herald, the comedian alerted the venue’s security team before scolding the audience and walking off the stage, shaking his head in disappointment.

Hard Rock Live’s website reportedly stated that the set was “device and electronics free, per the artist’s request.”

Fans were required to leave all belongings — including cell phones — secured in Yondr neoprene pouches.

Audience members were also warned by DJ Trauma, who provided the on-stage introductions for Chappelle, that phones would not be allowed and anyone caught with one would be kicked out.
