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.

Rob Schneider mocks the ‘liberal intelligentsia’ in ‘Woke Up in America’ comedy special
“Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America,” released on Fox Nation Sunday and takes viewers from their living rooms to a seat at Schneider’s sold-out comedy tour.From how the word “woman” is now controversial to why the government released UFO footage — from making a movie with Donald Trump to his own vasectomy saga — Schneider is giving his comedic take on how America got to this “mad” place.Writing jokes in the current political climate has to be approached “in a more gentle way,” the comedian noted, Monday, while agreeing there’s a market opportunity for somebody with courage, rather than fear.“I do think the really good comedians, the ones that I really respect, would go against the grain, and go against wherever the power is and wherever the power is being abused,” Schneider said. “I’m sure that if George Carlin was alive, they would say he’s a right-winger… for whatever authority is being abusive, you have to go after the power centers.”In the Fox Nation comedy special, Schneider also maneuvers his audience through the culture wars and his personal ones alike, including his take on COVID mask mandates and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)-focused companies.“I knew this country was in trouble when I went to a bank and the guard at the bank was like: Excuse me, sir, you’re in a bank.
