Dave Chappelle Brings His Iconic Comedy to Savannah

Dave Chappelle is making waves in Savannah this week with a last-minute announcement for a show at the Johnny Mercer Theatre this Thursday. The surprise announcement last week has sparked excitement around town, as fans get ready for a night of laughs from one of the best in stand-up comedy.

Chappelle rose to fame in the early 2000s with Chappelle’s Show, which became a cultural phenomenon. Known for his sharp humor, his sketches tackled topics like race, politics, and society, often sparking controversy. His sudden departure from the show during its third season only deepened the intrigue surrounding him.

Since returning to stand-up in 2013, Chappelle has released multiple Netflix specials, toured globally, and earned five Grammy Awards for Best Comedy Album, as well as the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

Savannah fans are lucky to catch this last-minute show. Chappelle’s comedy is raw, sometimes controversial, but always thought-provoking—a chance to see one of comedy’s most influential voices live in action.

Tickets are still available for Thursday night, but they’re selling quickly. So if you’re in need of a good laugh and want to witness one of the best, now’s your chance! You can find ticket info in the “Live Music & Entertainment” section below.
