'Celebratory tribute to life' | Dave Chappelle bringing comedy tour to DC

Tickets for the new dates will go on sale Friday, Sept. 15.

WASHINGTON — Comedian Dave Chappelle is picking up his mic and taking his act on the road, but more importantly, he will be stopping in his hometown of D.C. for multiple shows.

The stand-up comedy tour, Dave Chappelle Live: It’s A Celebration, B!%?#&$!, started on Sept. 8 in Cleveland, Ohio, but after less than a week, new shows were added. Four of those new shows will be held at Lincoln Theatre, located on U Street Northwest, on Oct. 10-13.

The tour marks a significant, golden milestone year for the comedian, and Chappelle will be sharing the excitement with audiences across the nation.

Tickets for the new dates will begin on Friday, Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster.com.

"Renowned for his unparalleled wit, razor-sharp commentary, and fearless approach to tackling life's most absurd moments, Chappelle promises to ignite the stage with his larger-than-life presence," LiveNation said about the show. "This event is not just a show—it's a celebratory tribute to life, happiness, and the undeniable potency of laughter."
