Dave Chappelle did his first comedy show in Fairfax?

Saw this in Rolling Stone the other day, wondered if anyone had ever heard of a comedy club in Fairfax in the '80s:
1987
Dave Chappelle's mother Yvonne, a professor and the first black woman to be ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister, drives her skinny, 14-year old son to his first stand-up routine in Fairfax, Virginia. According to Jason Zinoman's excellent Kindle single biography Searching for Dave Chappelle, he delivers jokes about Alf and black politics: "Jesse Jackson is running for president. Wow. Twenty years ago a black guy would say, ‘I'm going to college, get my degree and be the best damn mailman you've ever seen.'"

Any ideas?
