Dave Chappelle has 8 summer shows lined up. How much are tickets?
Dave Chappelle is returning to the road from June 30 through Aug. 2 at arenas and…cornfields.While there’s no word yet on what the controversial Mark Twain Prize winner will say onstage on the run of shows — he’s been known to spout off transphobic and anti-Semitic material in Netflix specials and “Saturday Night Live” monologues over the past few years — we do know that tickets are available for all eight gigs.None are particularly cheap though.At the time of publication, the cheapest tickets we could see to find Chappelle live this summer was $78 before fees on Vivid Seats for his July 12 San Antonio show.That doesn’t sound so bad.However, if you’re hoping to catch the funnyman at the Wirrig Pavilion in his hometown Yellow Springs, OH — the aforementioned cornfield shows — the best price on tickets around are a whopping $1,696 before fees.Those are prices that would make even Taylor Swift fans think twice.Still, it’s hard to put a price on seeing the self-proclaimed GOAT do his thing in person.Plus, who knows? The “Half Baked” star might even bring Elon Musk onstage again.Want to catch the always unpredictable Chappelle live these next few months?Here’s everything you need to know and more.All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.A complete calendar of all upcoming Dave Chappelle tour dates, venues and links to the cheapest tickets available can be found below.(Note: The New York Post confirmed all above prices at the publication time.

Charlamagne Tha God’s ‘big get’ interview: YA author Judy Blume
“Tha God Honest Truth” and featured sketches, social experiments and A-list guests, including Vice President Kamala Harris.It’s back now as “Comedy Central’s Hell of A Week with Charlamagne Tha God,” with Josh Lieb, a former executive producer of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” brought on board to help steer the ship.Charlamagne (aka Lenard McKelvey) — a radio Hall of Famer who co-hosts the nationally syndicated “The Breakfast Club” on Power 105.1 with DJ Envy and Angela Yee — spoke to The Post about “Hell of A Week” and about its mission going forward.Why was the show rebranded?The rebrand is literally because that’s what corporate wanted. They do these focus groups and research groups and testings … “Hell of a Week” reads more like a weekly late-night talk show than “Tha God’s Honest Truth.” I’m always a student and trying to learn and I’m also trying to win — so if the network comes to me and says, “We think that with a tweak like this more viewers will come to the show and realize it’s a weekly late-night talk show” … I’m gonna trust the experts.Will the focus on a panel format impact the way you host the show?“I actually think [the panel format] makes me looser because I really do enjoy conversations in a community and I love … exchanging ideas and debating.
