The Washington, DC-born comedian was originally slated to perform in Vancouver on New Year’s Day, but that show was rescheduled after BC announced restrictions that forced events with over 1,000 people to reduce capacity by 50%.

Chappelle was the 2019 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and has earned over 30 nominations and awards for television and film projects. However, he is no stranger to controversy.
There were widespread calls for Netflix to remove a comedy special after the comedian made jokes directed at the LGBTQ+ community. He had previously been accused of transphobia after referring to himself as a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.”
No cellphones, cameras, or recording devices will be permitted at the show. Upon arrival, phones and smartwatches will be secured in Yondr pouches that will be unlocked at the end of the show.
