But the story doesn’t end there. At his lowest ebb, Dave plays his trump card. He asks the audience for their help. He asks us to help that child get back what was taken from him by refusing to help the networks profit from his work. He asks us to boycott him. Not the networks, him.

The story isn’t about Dave Chappelle the superstar, it’s about the fourteen-year-old boy that we were introduced to in the first act. We’re being asked to do our part to help that child get back what was taken from him. What’s refusing to watch a TV show compared to that?

The network is like that first comedian, “borrowing” Dave’s talents but offering him a fraction of what they’re worth. When Dave tries to regain control, the network looms over him, allowing him to get a sense of how much bigger and stronger it is and takes his work.

From there, Dave takes us back through the layers of the story. The executives encouraging him to sign an unfair contract are like the stooges who hung around the guy playing three-card Monte, encouraging the sucker to believe that the game is fair.

The story folds back on itself gracefully, like a decorative fan, and as it does, we’re brought back to that first image of Dave as a child, being robbed of his work by an enemy who’s too big to fight.

“I’m begging you. If you ever liked me. If you ever think there was anything worthwhile about me, I’m begging you. Please don’t watch that show. I’m not asking you to boycott any network, boycott me. Boycott the Chappelle Show. Do not watch it unless they pay me.”

We don’t connect to his story because we’ve been in his shoes, we connect to it because he tells his story through themes that we can all relate to. We’ve all been a scared kid being threatened by a bully or a young adult trying to find our way in the world or a grown-up, struggling to navigate bureaucracy. Persuasion isn’t about telling people how you feel, it’s about helping them to see your perspective from their point of view. That’s the principle behind all good storytelling. And with Unforgiven, Dave Chappelle has proven that he’s a master of it.

He’s offered a contract so complex that it’s impossible to understand. He signs it on trust. The phrase he repeats when he refers to the licensing clause, “in perpetuity throughout the universe,” is deliberately a little ridiculous. It highlights the fact that he was out of his depth, and the fact that those sharks in the boardroom had put him in that situation on purpose.

Here we pull the outputs from distilbert and use a MaxPooling layer to convert the tensor from 3D to 2D — alternatively, use a 3D network (like convolutional or recurrent neural nets) followed by MaxPooling.

The antagonist in this part of the story can’t be anything as ordinary as a man. As adults ourselves, we can’t sympathise as deeply with a man who is up against an equal, so Dave gives us an enemy that we can all relate to. He doesn’t come up against a man, he comes up against the man. And as he does, he once again finds himself in a world, this time the boardroom, which he’s too naive to navigate.

In the final act, Dave is a man. Not only that, he’s a successful man. Already a well-known comedian, Dave is just about to sign a contract that will make him a household name. He’s about to become the star of the Chappelle Show.

To be clear, I don’t disagree with Dave here. Not that it would mean anything if I did. I don’t know anything about Dave Chappelle or contract law or about having an iconic, world-renowned TV show that bears my name. Neither do any of us.

What I do know, is that Dave Chappelle is worth an estimated $50 million, and yet he persuaded a crowd of ordinary people, who paid their hard-earned money to see him, that they should refuse to watch his show unless he gets paid more than his contract told him he would. He sat on stage and told the story of a multi-million dollar deal, that made him fewer millions than he hoped, and managed not to sound like an asshole.

The second act is less clear cut than the first. Dave could easily have painted the antagonist as a monster, but instead, he humanises him. This man isn’t a mere bully, he’s a man willing to fight to protect what’s his. Instead of hurting Dave, the man teaches him the importance of being willing to do the same.
