Dave Chappelle reportedly "teased" protesters outside the First Avenue club where he was originally scheduled to perform, but was canceled at the last minute and then moved to a nearby stage at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday night.
The comedian wondered if the crowd of people who had gathered to protest his appearance would "still all be out there" at the historic venue downtown where he wasn't allowed to perform his set, but the local Star Tribune reported crowds had left when curtains called.
Chappelle, 48, also told audience members he thought the decision to move the show was "devastating," and asked fans to continue supporting the iconic nightclub which is known for being Prince's hometown venue, in addition to being featured in the film, "Purple Rain." "It's an important place for our culture," he said, via the Tribune.
