David Boyle's Take on Comedy Specials: Chappelle vs. Nanette
“The difference between Dave Chappelle and Nanette is: Nanette was a fucking marketing campaign from the very beginning.”

In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle dives into the controversy between Dave Chappelle's latest special and Hannah Gadsby's 'Nanette'.
