This week, legendary comedian Dave Chappelle returns to New York City’s historic Radio City Music Hall, as he kicks off his LIVE FROM RADIO CITY Residency. It’s been a banner year for Dave Chappelle—The Residency comes hot on the heels of two critically-acclaimed Netflix specials, a record-setting sell out at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Casino, and an unforgettable performance at Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This August’s Residency marks Chappelle’s 30th anniversary in the world of stand-up comedy, which he’ll be celebrating to the tune of sixteen stand-up shows.
During his Residency, Chappelle will combine his love of comedy with his appreciation of hip-hop as he shares the bill with some of today’s best comedians and musicians. Special guest artists throughout the run include The Roots, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, Common, Vince Staples, Big Boi Chris Rock, Jeff Ross, Arsenio Hall, Erykah Badu, Leslie Jones, Michael Che, Colin Jost, Chance The Rapper, Trevor Noah, Childish Gambino, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Solange, yasiin bey, Talib Kweli, Ali Wong, John Mayer, and Lil Jon.
