Dave Chappelle tickets for intimate London tour are officially selling for £336

The Evening Standard's journalism is supported by our readers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Dave Chapelle has added five more nights to his run of intimate London gigs next month, with tickets priced at up to £336.50 on Ticketmaster.

Following the announcement, standard tickets priced at £100 sold out almost instantly, with slower Chapelle fans left with the choice of paying between £246.50 and £336.50 for "Platinum" tickets to see the US comedian on stage.

Those heading to resale site Viagogo will get even more of a shock – select tickets are selling on the platform for up to a staggering £536.

Earlier this week, the Emmy award-winning stand-up revealed he would be performing a five-night residency at the Leicester Square Theatre between February 9 and 13, before adding dates between February 16 and 20.

The theatre has a capacity of just 400, an intimate venue significantly smaller than the Adelphi Theatre and Hackney Empire where Chapelle performed last year .

After gaining fame as a stand-up during the 1990s, the comedian went on to front his own sketch show, Chapelle’s Show, in the US from 2003. He left the show in 2005, a decision that reportedly cost him more than $50m.

Chapelle resumed touring in 2013, and in 2016 signed a deal with Netflix for three comedy specials.

Mark Twain award-winner, Dave Chappelle is a comedian, actor, and producer who’s brash, clever, in-your-face brand of humor has made him one of the most respected entertainers of his generation. In March 2017, Chappelle returned to television via streaming giant Netflix with two highly-anticipated specials,  The Art of Spin , and  Deep in the Heart of Texas , filmed in Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX respectively. The critically-acclaimed specials satisfied his fans and introduced a new legion of followers to his sidesplitting, thought-provoking style of political and social commentary.

In 2005, Chappelle walked away from his groundbreaking sketch comedy show,  Chappelle’s Show  on Comedy Central. During the 8 years that followed, he performed pop-up stand-up dates, made occasional television appearances, and toured extensively throughout the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. From intimate comedy clubs to theaters and arenas, Chappelle’s live performances often sold out within minutes of being announced.

Comedy Central ranks Chappelle as Number 43 of the “100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.” Esquire Magazine has called him “the comic genius of America,” and he was featured on the cover of GQ Magazine ’s Man of the Year issue in 2015. In April 2017, he graced the cover of The New York Times ’ T-Magazine .

After an explosive and contentious Netflix special in 2021, Dave Chappelle is hitting the road again.

The veteran comedian has announced the dates for a fall stand-up comedy tour, titled “Dave Chappelle Live,” which will open with twin dates at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Aug. 22-23 and conclude at Chicago’s United Center on Oct. 4.

Tickets to the tour, produced by Live Nation, will be available starting with local presales on Wednesday, July 26. The general onsale begins on Thursday, July 27, at 10 a.m. local time at Ticketmaster.com.

Popular on Variety

Chappelle has been a controversial figure following his 2021 Netflix special “The Closer,” in which he made jokes about transgender people, leading to  company walkouts  and protests last October. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos originally defended Chappelle, saying in statement that the comedian is “one of the most popular stand-ups today” and “as with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom — even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful.” Sarandos ultimately said he “screwed up” in his reaction to the Chappelle backlash.

The comedian made headlines again in 2022 when he was attacked on stage  while performing a comedy set during the Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles.

Check out the full list of dates below:

• Aug. 22: New York City — Madison Square Garden
• Aug. 23: New York City — Madison Square Garden
• Sept. 8: Cleveland, Ohio — Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse

Toronto mad at Ticketmaster again after Chappelle shows sell out in seconds

Latest Videos

Dave Chappelle's Toronto fanbase is already fuming at Ticketmaster after tickets to the comedian's surprise shows sold out almost immediately.

After the legendary — or, you could say, infamous, — comedian, known for his short-lived sketch show  Chappelle's Show  and numerous Netflix specials, announced five surprise shows next week at The Opera House, fans were poised and ready to attack in time for the 10 a.m. ticket drop.

Well the onsale for the Dave Chappelle intimate Toronto shows was a total sh1tshow. There are no shortcuts to getting tickets anymore. 5 shows all gone instantaneously. Lame. — Year Zero (@Z3RO_Y34R) May 10, 2024

Womp womp . In a matter of seconds, tickets to all five of Chappelle's upcoming Toronto shows were completely snatched up, leaving plenty of fans disappointed.

Did the Chappelle tickets sell out already??!?!!?! pic.twitter.com/H37HN6Iw1v — Waiting to Oxtail (@ThatDudeMCFLY) May 10, 2024

While the venue's 950-person capacity guarentees an intimate show, it also meant that tickets to the shows were incredibly limited — with only a total of 4750 tickets available across five separate shows.

these chappelle tix are impossible lol opera house capacity is 950 pic.twitter.com/vSBRet3jjv — John Daily (@ProllyJohnny) May 10, 2024

It looks like the city has a chronic case of Chappelle-fever, as this isn't the first time the comedian's Toronto shows sold out in a flash.

Back in 2021, the comedian managed to sell out Scotiabank Arena completely within a matter of seconds.

On the bright side, maybe the tidal wave of support for Chappelle from his Toronto fans will spur the comedian to extend his stay in the city and announce new shows.

If not, don't worry; there are plenty of other spots where you can catch incredible comedy in Toronto .
