Dave Chappelle, creator of Comedy Central’s Chappelle’s Show, returned to the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith for two nights of his tour Pulling Up.
Dave Chappelle, creator of Comedy Central’s Chappelle’s Show, played two nights of his tour Pulling Up at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 August 2026.
Chappelle was born in Washington DC in 1973 and began doing stand-up there as a teenager. He moved to New York after high school to work the clubs.
Chappelle’s Show ran on Comedy Central from 2003 to 2006. He walked away from it while its third season was in production.
He returned to stand-up in 2017 with two Netflix specials released on the same day. He has since won several Grammy awards for best comedy album. In 2019 he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and he played Noodles in the 2018 film A Star Is Born.
Both London nights sold out well before the date. The run came less than a year after his previous visit to the same Hammersmith room, in September 2025.
