The comedy legend makes his return to Abu Dhabi Comedy Season after last year’s sold-out success
Award-winning comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer Dave Chappelle is set to make his highly anticipated return to Abu Dhabi on 27 June at Etihad Arena as part of Abu Dhabi Comedy Season.
Known for his razor-sharp wit and fearless social commentary, Chappelle returns after headlining the inaugural Abu Dhabi Comedy Week in 2024 with a record-breaking sold-out show that drew over 14,000 guests and became the region’s largest- ever comedy event.
The second edition of Abu Dhabi Comedy Season will give fans another chance to witness Chappelle’s internationally acclaimed comedy live tickets are expected to sell out fast, so don’t miss out!
Born into a family of educators in Washington, D.C. in 1973, Dave Chappelle began his comedy career at age 14, performing in nightclub stages before rising to global fame.
After early success in film and television, he created the groundbreaking Chappelle’s Show (2003-2006), which showcased his unique take on various social issues through satirical sketches.
Chappelle’s unique comedic style blends personal experiences with wider social observations, bringing a vibrant edge to American comedy.
