Monday night’s show at the Wang Theatre presented two modern comedy titans, Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart, in the first of five shows over three nights, and at a generous three hours that included a free-for-all conversation in its final stretch, it would likely stand as the one to see.
Surprise opener Michael Che got the first of several standing ovations for the night, and set the table with a punchy, pointed set for an evening of socially conscious humor and ridiculousness. (Che is not scheduled to appear for the remaining Boston shows.) For any difference in tone or delivery, Stewart and Chappelle share a similar approach to their craft. They think as deeply on a subject as they can, comment as honestly as possible, and make sure at some point, they honk the clown nose with something scatological or silly to remind you it’s a comedy show.
