Brooklyn pol is not amused by Chappelle’s no-show
July 10, 2008
More than 500 people waiting for a performance by funnyman Dave Chappelle for a political fund-raiser were stunned when he didn’t show.
The event at Eugene, a hip-hop club on W. 24th St., was for Kevin Powell, who’s challenging incumbent Edolphus Towns for a congressional seat in Brooklyn.
Doors opened at the club at 7 p.m., but shortly after 10 p.m., Powell, 42, faced the inevitable.
“We got a call saying he has missed his first flight and he was trying to catch a second flight, and he didn’t catch that one,” he said.
Powell said those who bought tickets can come to his next fund-raiser.
