Comedian Dave Chappelle is coming to Atlanta to perform for one night only. The show will be Sunday, November 21, 2021, at State Farm Arena.
The show will include a screening of a Chappelle documentary as well as jokes and commentary from Chappelle and “friends.”
Dave Chappelle To Perform In Atlanta Amid Controversy
The comedian is riding a wave of controversy after the release of his latest Netflix special The Closer, in which he takes on the trans community among other topics.
The special has caused a firestorm at Netflix, where trans employees and those who support them have threatened a walkout if the production isn’t pulled.
Chappelle, for his part, has decided to stand his ground. In a short video he released on Instagram, the comedian said that he “will not be summoned” by the trans community. He also had some conditions for a proper sit down.
“To the transgender community, I am more than willing to give you an audience,” he said. “But you will not summon me. I am not bending to anybody’s demands.
“You must come to a place of my choosing, at a time of my choosing. And thirdly, you must admit that Hannah Gadsby is not funny.”
