Mex Kreutzer/KANSAN ENTERTAINMENT Comic back to stand-up routine THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI - Dave Chappelle, who walked away from his hit TV series earlier this year, said working in front of smaller audiences is more his speed. Chappelle, who sold out 10 shows at a northern Kentucky club, said doing standup is "like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people." He played the Funny Bone Comedy Club at Newport on the Levee last week, a 325-seat club. "Most people don't know what it's like to stand up there and speak their mind. I have a venue to do that. I get paid to do that," he told The Cincinnati Enquirer in yesterday's editions. The comedian stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of the third season of his Comedy Central series, "Chappelle's Show." He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home to his 65-acre farm near Yellow Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Cincinnati. "I like that particular kind of attention. People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you," Chappelle told the newspaper. Chappelle has said he was unhappy with the direction of his show. His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied. ▼ HOROSCOPES HAPPY BIRTHDAY for The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2005: You easily could be a bit more down than you realize.

As a result, you will change on a profound level, wanting different things and situations for yourself. Not every moment will be easy this year. Create more of what you want or dream of.
