Chappelle was performing as part of Netflix’s first-ever comedy festival, “Netflix Is A Joke,” on Tuesday night. Following the uproar surrounding The Closer, Chappelle mentioned hiring more security during his show.

A Netflix spokesperson told Variety in a statement, “We care deeply about the safety of creators and we strongly defend the right of stand-up comedians to perform on stage without fear of violence.”
