If only Dave Chapelle had been able to hold it in just a little bit longer, but nature called.
Chapelle was performing at the Laugh Factory on Sunday with the goal to beat Dane Cook’s for the club’s endurance record for continuous standup comedy.
After five hours into his routine, only two hours and 34 minutes away from Cook’s record, Chapelle had to leave the stage for a bathroom break.
There are only two rules in the competition said club owner Jamie Masada, “You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can’t leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom.”
The late Richard Pryor set the original record, two hours and 41 minutes, in 1980. Cook broke it 27 years later with a three-hour, 50-minute set.
Chappelle raised the bar to six hours, seven minutes before Cook took the record back last year.
