Dave Chappelle, the co-creator of Chappelle’s Show and a six-time Grammy winner, played three nights at O2 Forum Kentish Town from Sunday 21 to Tuesday 23 September 2025.
Chappelle was born in Washington, D.C. in 1973 and studied theatre arts at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. After graduating in 1991 he moved to New York, where an early set at Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater ended with the crowd booing him off.
He kept working the open mic nights of Greenwich Village. In 1998 he took his first lead film role in Half Baked, which he also co-wrote.
Chappelle’s Show began on Comedy Central in 2003, and he left it during the making of its third season. He returned to stand-up, and in 2019 he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Two Kentish Town shows were announced in August and a third followed. All three sold out, and demand added a fourth London date at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Wednesday 24 September.
