Overview

  • Chappelle announced the compact seven‑date North American tour Monday with shows scheduled Oct. 20–Nov. 6 in Nashville, Charlotte, Toronto, Louisville, Austin, Houston and New York City.
  • The run is explicitly phone‑free: attendees will place phones and smartwatches into Yondr pouches for the duration of each show and anyone using devices inside the venue may be escorted out.
  • Presales for various cardholders and platform windows began Sept. 15–16 in many markets and general ticketing is set to begin Sept. 17 at 12:00 p.m. local time via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
  • The tour closes Nov. 6 with a headline performance at Madison Square Garden that will open the New York Comedy Festival, a placement organizers say underscores Chappelle’s prominence in live comedy.
  • The short arena run follows a busy 2026 for Chappelle, builds on strong demand for limited dates, and has produced elevated secondary‑market prices for tickets on early listings.
