Dave Chappelle: 8:46

2020

4.5/5

8:46 is a 2020 performance special by American comedian Dave Chappelle about violence against African Americans. The special was released via YouTube on June 12, 2020. The performance is not a traditional stand-up comedy special, as it was recorded at a private outdoor venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ohio and features long stretches without humor. Critical consensus has been positive for the comedy and the social commentary.

The special was published via Netflix's YouTube channel "Netflix Is a Joke" at midnight on June 12, 2020 with no prior announcement from Netflix. This was directed by Oscar-winning documentarians Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar. The recording was made at the private event "Dave Chappelle & Friends: A Talk with Punchlines" held outdoors on June 6, 2020 at the Wirrig Pavilion in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where an audience of roughly 100 observed social distancing rules and wore masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The event was entitled 8:46 in reference to the eight minutes and 46 seconds that police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd, a black man, killing him, and Chappelle's time of birth on his birth certificate, being born on 8:46 AM.
