COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Actor, writer and award-winning comedian Dave Chappelle has announced four appearances in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Chappelle is scheduled to take the stage at the YS Firehouse, a former fire station he purchased in 2020 and rehabbed into a comedy club, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21-24.
The Wednesday and Thursday shows are billed as "Dave Chappell & Friends," while Friday's performance is listed as "Dave Chappelle with De La Soul" and Saturday's act is "Rakim & J. PERIOD Live Mixtape Hosted by Dave Chappelle."
Ticketmaster listed prices at $90 each or $180 a pair for Wednesday and Thursday, but showed the Friday and Saturday events as sold out.
Chappelle's last appearance at the YS Firehouse was on Dec. 15, 2023.
Previously in 2023, Chappelle received a temporary zoning permit for up to 15 performances between June 1 and Oct. 8 at the Wirrig family pavilion, an outdoor venue near his house. However, only three shows took place at the location before the Netflix star announced a multi-city tour that spanned Aug. 22 through Oct. 4, 2023.
Surprise shows and appearances are a hallmark of the comedian's career. In June, he stunned audience members in Bellefontaine, Ohio when he performed at the Holland Theatre during the “Light Up the Holland Comedy Marquee Fundraiser,” which raised money for the theater’s new marquee.
