This is no joke.
Self-proclaimed “GOAT” Dave Chappelle has affordable tickets available for most remaining shows on his fall 2023 ‘”It’s a Celebration B!%?#&$! Tour.’
At the time of publication, some seats were going for as low as $27 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Compared to his summer 2023 tour when the starting tickets prices for Chappelle shows ranged from $80 to $2200, these are a downright steal.
Plus, based on his recent birthday bash gigs at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Chappelle might bring a famous friend or three to the stage with him.

Dave Chappelle controversy
Over the past few years, Chappelle made waves for his insensitive material about the transgender community in his Netflix specials “Sticks and Stones” and “The Closer.”
Rather than apologize for his remarks, he doubled down and defended his point of view.
Many big names have spoken out about his baseless attacks.
“Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it’s verbal or otherwise, against trans people,” said US soccer star Megan Rapinoe in an interview with Time Magazine.
Fellow comic Wanda Sykes shared with Variety that Chappelle’s material was “so hurtful and damaging to the trans community.”
That didn’t stop Chappelle from going after other marginalized groups.
In November 2022, Chappelle was asked to host NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” On the program, he made several anti-Semitic jokes in his 20-minute monologue.
At the time of publication, Chappelle has not issued a sincere apology to either community.
