Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported the tour announcement on Monday, with seven arena dates from Oct. 20 to Nov. 6 that include Nashville, Charlotte, Toronto, Louisville, Austin, Houston and New York.
  • Organizers say the performances will be phone‑free using Yondr pouches, devices will be locked during sets, and patrons who use phones inside the venue risk ejection.
  • Ticketing materials set a staggered rollout, with several presales starting Sept. 15 for cardholders and fan programs and a general on‑sale slated for Sept. 17 through Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
  • The Nov. 6 Madison Square Garden date is scheduled to open the New York Comedy Festival, and festival founder Caroline Hirsch praised Chappelle as a defining comedian of his generation.
  • The run follows a busy 2026 live calendar for Chappelle and was reported by Rolling Stone to carry the set name 'Karmageddon,' a detail that outlets have not widely corroborated.
