Comedian Dave Chappelle prowls the stage with a microphone in hand.

Comedy’s king of controversy is going on a short tour.

From May 31 through June 2, Dave Chappelle is set to perform at three huge venues in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

First, the “Half Baked” star will drop into Charleston, WV’s Charleston Municipal Auditorium on Wednesday, May 31.

After that, he’s set to headline at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena on Thursday, June 1.

Finally, he wrap up the brief run at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center with Philly natives The Roots joining him on Friday, June 2.

What can we expect from these gigs?

At a Chappelle show, it’s anyone’s guess. In case you forgot, he brought Twitter CEO Elon Musk onstage.

He’s also courted outrage for his unprovoked swipes at the transgender and Jewish communities in his Netflix specials and a “Saturday Night Live” monologue.

The one and only thing we do know about these shows is how much ticket prices are going for.

After a bit of digging, we found tickets going for as low as $63 before fees on Vivid Seats to see Chappelle on the road.

Dave Chappelle's internationally recognized stand-up and trademark wit explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements.

The past few years have been banner for Chappelle. In 2017, he released four highly-anticipated specials on Netflix: The Art of Spin, Deep in the Heart of Texas, Equanimity and The Bird Revelations. All four specials were delivered on vinyl as double-feature albums and received Grammy Awards® for Best Comedy Album in 2018 and 2019. Pollstar awarded Chappelle with Comedy Tour of The Year in 2014 and 2018 and he captured his second Emmy®for Outstanding Variety Special with Equanimity in 2018.

Chappelle was the mastermind behind the 2003 sketch comedy hit, The Chappelle Show—one of the highest-rated programs on Comedy Central. The show earned three Emmy®nominations and went on to become the best-selling TV show in DVD history. Feature film credits include Bradley Cooper’s award-winning remake of A Star is Born, Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq, You’ve Got Mail, Half Baked, The Nutty Professor, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Rolling Stone ranks Chappelle among the top 10 of the “50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time.” Esquire Magazine has called him “the comic genius of America,” and he was featured on the covers of GQ Magazine’s Man of the Year issue in 2015 and The New York Times Magazine in 2017.

Events at Charleston Municipal Auditorium being postponed due to closure

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Shows at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium this week are being postponed due to infrastructure issues at the nearly 85-year-old facility.

Rescheduling began Tuesday after it was determined Monday that the building had electrical and structural problems.

A spokesperson with the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center told MetroNews Tuesday they are currently taking steps to reschedule shows including two that were scheduled for this week.

dave chappelle tour charleston wv

Psychologist and author Dr. Jordan B. Peterson was set to bring his “We Who Wrestle with God Tour” to the Municipal Auditorium on Wednesday night but that show has now been postponed.

“Due to critical electrical and structural issues that are beyond our control, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson: We Who Wrestle with God Tour scheduled for this Wed, Feb 7, HAS BEEN POSTPONED. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. For any further ticket inquiries please reach out to point of purchase,” according to the Coliseum’s event page .

The Warren Zeiders Pretty Little Poison Tour was scheduled for this Friday, but has now been postponed to Friday, May 24. The original ticket will be valid for May 24 show.

Comedian Kevin Hart announced on Monday he’s bringing his comedy tour “Brand New Material” to the Municipal Auditorium on April 13, but that show may also be rescheduled.

Charleston Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin said it’s a shame the city has to pull the plug for now because she knows how important it is for these acts to perform in a smaller venue. She said the Coliseum is sometimes too big of a venue for settings like comedy shows.

“They want smaller venues. They look for those. Of course he could do well at the Coliseum, but that’s not the setting in which they choose,” Goodwin said on Tuesday’s “580 Live” with Dave Allen heard on MetroNews flagship station 580-WCHS in Charleston.

Grammy-award winning rapper Lil Wayne is coming to the Coliseum on March 28. Goodwin said because the city has been able to attract big-name stars, they need to make sure their facilities are up to code.

“This is on the heels of Jo Koy and (Dave) Chappelle and so many other artists that are coming in and we’re real proud of it, but one thing I will not do though is put somebody in a building when somebody says to me who is an expert in their field ‘this isn’t safe, we need to fix this first’,” she said.

Goodwin said she met with engineers Monday who highlighted life and safety concerns at the Municipal Auditorium. The city contracted with an engineering firm last fall to evaluate the venue.

The decision to close the building was made after a Monday morning meeting. It will be closed until further notice pending a final report.

Goodwin said she wants to be careful with the public’s money on deciding what to do with the building.

“I’m not going to dump a whole bunch of money into a Municipal Auditorium and at the end of the day if this report comes back, which I hope to have in a couple of weeks — you’re going to spend tens of millions of dollars fixing it when you should just gut it,” she said.
