Burning Down The (Fire)House

January 11, 2024 By Dayton937

Dave Chappelle brings laughter, community at new comedy venue

It was a bad night to be Brian Housh, but a good night to be Dave Chappelle.

Yellow Springs’ most famous – or depending on your take on some of his feelings about certain communities and politicians, infamous – resident performed two sold out shows this week at the YS Firehouse. The YS Firehouse is the former Miami Twp. Fire Station on Corry Street, a mere few blocks away from his Chappelle Shop where dedicated fans can (and have) buy the comic’s merchandise in droves.

In much the same manner of his shows during the pandemic, entry into the YS Firehouse came with several rules that can make you feel like you’re entering a secret comedic society. Patrons paying the $90 ticket entry (before fees) were advised to leave all phones, smart devices, purses and anything else that could house a recording device in the car. Yondr bags and a coat check ensured none of the evening’s affair would be transmitted without Chappelle’s OK, the release form notifying all those entering the show would be recorded, however, by Chappelle’s team. Where that footage ends up remains to be seen; what was clear, however, was everyone in attendance was there to see what would transpire. 

Chicken wings and french fry baskets were available just outside the venue courtesy of Let’s Eat Food Truck, which, based on constant presence of both inside the showroom, apparently lives up to its motto that it’s “food be slappin’.” It was clear aesthetics were carefully considered in the construction of what looked to be the 200-250 seat venue. As opposed to traditional tables, the inside of the YS Firehouse featured rows of chairs arranged in an elongated “C” shape around the stage, perhaps in honor of the venue’s owner. The natural brick gave the building a fancy lodge feel, the lighting and wood floor working in concert to create exactly what Chappelle wanted: A vibe where all those in attendance felt like they were part of the coolest party in town.

With DJ Fatty Lumpkin spinning classic golden era hip-hop pre-show – it’s hard to imagine another Ohio venue where Grand Puba and Camp Lo receive extended playtime in 2024 – the building was abuzz upon entry. As the clock rolled past 8 p.m., stagehands began taping down cords and cables; a woman brought two stools on stage, one featuring the comedian’s signature pack of cigarettes and an ashtray he would remember he could use later in the show. 

Despite all pre-show’s hush-hush nature, Wednesday night’s show didn’t feel anything like a secret society akin to Katt Williams recently alluded to on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast. Chappelle would, however, mention the Ohio native/cornfield show alumni several times throughout the night. 

Taking the stage just before or right at 8:30 p.m., Chappelle swiftly maneuvered through a litany of topics hosting the show, doing time before introducing the night’s three other performers. In addition to Williams, topics included Chappelle’s purchase of Yellow Springs property, Donald Trump … And the debut of a Chewbacca-like voice for a specific segment of a community that has voiced displeasure with him. The events leading up to/following the aforementioned Yellow Springs council member’s removal as Village President would bear the brunt of the comic’s vitriol Wednesday night, Chappelle at one point (genuinely?) apologizing for the repeated blows. 

It was one of a few moments of the night that makes the comedian so conflicting for some: While the laughs came fast and furiously from the audience, determining the line between what is simply joke fodder and his true feelings about Housh might still be blurred for Chappelle himself. Would anything Chappelle said Wednesday change his critics’ thoughts about him? Probably not. Was it clear to anyone in attendance that he can be a comedic powerhouse in his element? Most definitely.

While some in attendance were clearly hoping for quote-unquote “big” name comics to round out the evening’s bill, those concerns were alleviated as the night played out. DJ Cipha Sounds – who is quick to let you know he’s “very famous in New York” – has clearly dedicated himself to stand-up comedy as much as he did hip-hop during his days on WQHT-FM “Hot 97.” At times, Sounds’ set almost felt like watching a developing version of a young Chappelle himself, especially when re-assuring all the straight white males in attendance he knows they’ve had it rough. 

Connecticut native and BET/TV One alumni Marshall Brandon would take the stage next, weaving intricate wordplay with stories about sex, parenting, family and relationships. While Sounds brought a high energy model to the stage, Brandon was much more of a relaxed orator, delivering jokes in a way that felt like Bob Newhart-meets-Franklin Ajaye-with-just-a-touch-of-middle-finger attitude underneath.

 

Closing out Wednesday’s show was musical guest Issa Ali, engaging the crowd in traditional block party fashion with two songs, “Levels to This” and “Clap to This.” 

The building with the big “C” on its side in the heart of downtown Yellow Springs has now opened for business. Wednesday night’s sold out affair would seem to make a strong case it may be for quite some time.

Chappelle Shows Granted Zoning Variance to Continue!

August 6, 2020 By Lisa Grigsby

A 3 hour meeting was held tonight via Go To Meeting which included testimony from folks from Miami Beach, Florida, Baltimore as well as all over Ohio, requesting their be a temporary zoning variance.  Folks shared the economic impact the performances are bringing to the village, as well as the mental health benefits attendees felt they got.  Many folks shared that the spotlight Dave Chappelle’s shows are bringing to Yellow Springs and the fact that he is setting the standard for COIVD 19 safe entertainment are monumental. A performer who’s appeared on the show shared how much he appreciated getting to be a part of something so special, while also sharing that his wife has buy spending way too much money in the local shops.

Several neighbors complained about the sound, especially the bass and lighting flooding their house, while other neighbors testified in support, saying that the noise was worth the positive effects the show was having in the community. Property owner Steve Wirrig said he’s made every effort to make sure the pavilion is being a good neighbor and respectful of other property owners.

After the Miami Township zoning board went into executive committee for about 1/2 an hour the board came back and approved the variance through Oct 4th  unanimously with 2 conditions:

  • every effort is made to reduce the noise from the shows
  • property owner agrees to meet weekly with the neighbors to talk about noise and other concerns

Let the shows continue!

Now good luck getting tickets!  For more info join the Dave Chappelle and Friends at Wirrig Pavilion – Fan Group on Facebook.

Dave Chappelle brings his Juke Joint back to Yellow Springs April 20 & 21

The hottest most secretive ticket in town is back!

Once again, Dave Chappelle is bringing his Juke Joint to Yellow Springs. With DJ D-Nice on the 1’s and 2’s, and Fred Yonnet & The Band With No Name keeping the music going all night, this is a party you don’t want to miss.

Let’s be real here, it will be a mad rush to get the tickets as soon as they go on sale so I don’t really want to tell you what a cool experience it is. But it is. It’s previously been LEGEND-ary, we’ve sang along to Lyzel in E Flat, and wondered aloud if we could kick it (yes, we can). I’m not going to tell you about the card trick that David Blaine did to mess with my head while we were waiting in line for the food truck. I’m just not sharing all that info, or maybe I will on Monday after I have my tickets. I’m also not enthusiastically telling you about the Prince tribute planned for this year. Nope. Not doing it.

Please check out the DMM calendar to see all the cool things you don’t want to miss that will keep you very busy when tickets go on sale this Sunday at 6pm.

Game. Blouses.

Dave’s Juke Joint – It’s Happening Again!

May 24, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

In 2016 Dave Chappelle hosted an amazing event in a barn, on a farm in Yellow Springs.  Inspired by music born in the juke joints of Americas Deep South, Chappelle’s modern day Juke Joint takes you on a trip thru his personal playlist which includes tunes ranging from Coltrane to Nirvana. This real music revival was part concert, part comedy, and all-out unpredictable.  In 2015 Chappelle hosted his Juke Joint in London, in 2016 besides the Yellow Springs event, there was also one in Minneapolis . In 2017 Dave’s Juke Joint popped up in New Orleans during NBA All Star weekend.

photo from DJ DNice’s instagram.

And now it’s happening again this Sunday and Monday in Yellow Springs.   Chappelle doesn’t exactly promote the Juke Joint, but rather seems to leave it to his Band with No Name leader, Frederic Yonnet, who, with other band members, post about the event on Instagram. Tickets will be  sold online only, and attendees have to agree to  relinquish their cell phones before entering the event.  According to the Instagram announcements,  tickets will go on sale tonight at 6pm at his website.

In 2016 the  all-star guest list included  Q-Tip, Jarobi White, Bradley Cooper, David Blaine, John Legend, Donnel Rawlings, Cipha Sounds.  Tickets that year were $75 each day for general admission, VIP was $100. There was a $10 parking fee.

RACC 2010 Urban Culture Arts Conference Photos

October 3, 2010 By Dayton Most Metro 3 Comments

The 2nd annual RACC Hip-Hop summit was a success as area college students came out to see and hear multiple Grammy nominee Lupe Fiasco at the Dayton Convention Center Saturday evening.

Although a dark stage and the lack of a quality external flash kept me from getting the pics I wanted, here’s a quick visual recap of the presentation, which included a surprise appearance by Yellow Springs’ resident funnyman Dave Chappelle!
