If you thought Dave Chappelle was done making headlines in Abu Dhabi, think again.
The comedy legend Dave Chappelle is coming back to Etihad Arena on Thursday June 27, and yes—it’s going to be massive. I mean, last year, he pulled in over 14,000 fans with a record-breaking, sold-out show that launched the inaugural Abu Dhabi Comedy Week straight into the history books.
Dave Chappelle isn’t just a comic—he’s a cultural juggernaut. With six Netflix specials (hello, The Dreamer), five Emmys, six Grammys, and the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, he’s long since earned his spot at the top. Whether he’s dissecting politics, pop culture, or everyday absurdities, he does it with an honesty that’s equal parts uncomfortable and hilarious—and that’s exactly why we keep coming back for more.
So, think energy, razor-sharp punchlines, and the kind of truth-bomb storytelling that only Dave Chappelle can deliver.
The show is part of Abu Dhabi Comedy Season’s second edition, running from April to July 2025 with an impressive lineup: Trevor Noah, Kevin Hart, Gad Elmaleh, Michael McIntyre, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Pete Davidson, Bill Burr— and loads more still to be announced.
Organized by Live Nation Middle East and GME Events, in partnership with DCT Abu Dhabi and Miral, the series promises world class comedy.
Pre-sale tickets hit www.livenation.me on April 15, with general sale following on April 16. And let’s be honest—these won’t last long. If last year was any indication, you’ll want to move faster.
