Dave Chappelle is making his long awaited return to comedy and will embark upon a month-long tour for Funny or Die. The tour is called the Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival and it will kick off on Aug. 23 in Austin, Texas.
Since leaving his hit Comedy Central series Chappelle’s Show back in 2005, he has done a few appearances at comedy clubs, but this is his first substantial return to the stage.
According to Sun Times, Chappelle will headline the two-stage tour, which will last for 13 stops and wrap up on September 22.
Chapelle isn’t the only headliner on the tour, however, as other acts such as Al Madrigal, Brody Stevens, Chris D'Elia, Demetri Martin, Hannibal Buress, Jim Jefferies, John Mulaney, and Kristen Schaal have signed up.
Huffington Post reports that this will mark the first major tour sponsored by Funny or Die. It boasts it will feature "two stages, street performers, vendors, psychics, freaks, tasty treats and more."
