Dave Chappelle brings his ‘Karmagedson’ Stand-Up Set To State Farm Arena

Dave Chappelle brings his “Karmageddon” stand-up set to State Farm Arena in Atlanta tonight, November 4, 2026.

The Emmy- and Grammy-winning comedian is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. show at the downtown Atlanta venue (1 State Farm Drive), with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. for the general public.0 Tickets remain available through Ticketmaster (the arena’s official partner) and secondary markets, with an overall limit noted on some listings.

A Phone-Free Experience

Like other stops on the tour, the Atlanta date is a strict phone-free event. Attendees must place phones, smartwatches, meta glasses, and similar devices in individual Yondr pouches upon arrival; the pouches stay secured during the performance and are unlocked afterward. Designated phone-use areas exist in the venue, but anyone seen using a device in the performance space can be removed.

This policy, common on recent Chappelle arena runs, aims to keep the focus on the live set and limit unauthorized recording.

Part of a Limited Fall Arena Run

“Karmageddon” is a limited North American arena tour that launched in mid-October. Atlanta sits late in the itinerary, after stops that included Nashville, Charlotte, Toronto, Louisville, Austin, and Houston. Chappelle heads next to Madison Square Garden in New York for back-to-back shows on November 6 and 7 as part of the New York Comedy Festival.

State Farm Arena, home of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and a frequent host of major concerts and events, offers a large-scale setting (concert configurations typically accommodate roughly 15,000–18,000+). The show is presented by Live Nation in association with Pilot Boy Productions.

What Fans Can Expect

Chappelle’s arena stand-up is known for extended storytelling, observational humor, improvisation, and interaction with the crowd rather than reliance on older material or signature impressions. Recent tour reports note warm-up acts and shows that often run around three hours. Material ownership is tightly controlled; Pilot Boy Productions and/or Chappelle retain rights to jokes and sketches, with unauthorized reproduction prohibited.

As of this writing (early on November 4), the performance has not yet taken place, so no post-show reviews or set details are available. Fans heading downtown can reserve parking in advance, review bag and entry policies on the arena site, and consider nearby hotels or dining options around Centennial Olympic Park.
