laughed off the fiasco that forced a Minneapolis venue to cancel him at the 11th hour last night in surrender to a mob, calling his critics a 'small group of lunatics' and slamming the venue for not having more 'courage'. Chappelle, 48, had been slated to play a sold-out show at First Avenue, a venue in Minneapolis. Tickets started at $129.50 and the venue had sold 1,500 - bringing in nearly $200,000 of sales, of which they would have taken a handsome slice. But hours before the show, First Avenue announced it was no longer willing to host. Their about-turn came as the result of a Change.org petition signed by 125 people who complained Chappelle was transphobic, and staff members who refused to turn up to the man the event.
