Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

      Do any of them have post 2012 Right-Wing comedy bits? Foxworthy has always kept things pretty family friendly and tame.

      They aren’t overtly right-wing, they just speak in a Southern accent and talk about white trash stuff. Isn’t Larry the Cable Guy really from New York or something? My accent sounds like I was born in an Ozark outhouse, but I’m not a right-wing asshole.
