## Summary

Comedians Rob Schneider and Tim Young have criticised Dave Chappelle after a clip from his Madison Square Garden set showed him saying he felt better since Charlie Kirk was murdered. Their comments have renewed debate about how comedians address political violence and the effect such jokes can have.

Schneider wrote on X that Chappelle had abandoned the compassion he once brought to his comedy, while Young called the remarks “disgusting” and recalled Kirk’s past defence of Chappelle after the comedian was attacked on stage in 2022. Young suggested Chappelle may be trying to reconnect with left-leaning audiences, though this was his speculation. The article also notes that Pete Davidson and Michael Che have made jokes referring to Kirk’s killing.
