Tickets prices ranged from $99.50-$250 and tickets went on sale Friday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. Ticket holders must provide either proof of a vaccine or a negative COVID-19 test for entrance to the show.

February is Black history month.

Chappelle, 48, is known for his satirical comedy sketch series Chappelle's Show (2003–2006). The series, co-written with Neal Brennan, ran until Chappelle quit the show in the middle of production of the third season. After leaving the show, Chappelle returned to performing stand-up comedy across the U.S.[3] By 2006, Chappelle was called the "comic genius of America" by Esquire[4] and, in 2013, "the best" by a Billboard writer.[5] In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked him No. 9 in their "50 Best Stand Up Comics of All Time".[6]

Chappelle has appeared in several films, including Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), The Nutty Professor (1996), Con Air (1997), You've Got Mail (1998), Blue Streak (1999), Undercover Brother (2002), Chi-Raq (2015), and A Star Is Born (2018). His first lead role was in the 1998 comedy film Half Baked, which he co-wrote with Neal Brennan. Chappelle also starred in the ABC comedy series Buddies (1996). In 2016, he signed a $20-million-per-release comedy-special deal with Netflix and released six stand-up specials under the deal.[7]

The comedian has received numerous accolades, including five Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards as well as the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. (References by Wikipedia.org)
