ICYMI: Chappelle, who's from the area, made a surprise appearance at a John Mulaney standup comedy show -- but many people aren't happy that DC took the stage ... and proceeded to make alleged transphobic jokes.

As for what exactly was said that's transphobic ... you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually detailed the crack, but someone finally did. The supposedly harmful joke was about the stage crasher and the“I mean, it wasn’t a gun, it was a knife! A gun that identifies as a knife?”- The homophobic joke was him saying “maybe you two are gay, I don’t know, nothing wrong with that if that’s the case.”Dave apparently said something to the effect of ...

He moved on from that -- this after getting laughs, it seems -- and then made a joke about a couple of audience members he speculated might be gay ... adding, not that there's anything wrong with that. Apparently, that's about all that was said ... but it's got people up in arms. We'll say this ... Dave does seem to be obsessed with joking about trans topics -- he did so during his Hollywood Bowl sets a few weeks ago ... and even said something about the alleged attacker,As for John, he's said to have given Dave a hug ... but hasn't said anything about the controversy bubbling up now. He's pretty private -- don't hold your breath for a statement.
