Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart will be playing two comedy gigs in London

Now this is definitely worth travelling to.

Given how rare it is to see Dave Chappelle on tour, we’re absolutely delighted to see that one of – if not THE – most gifted comedians alive will be performing ‘relatively’ close to these shores.

OK, London isn’t exactly these shores but any comedy fan would 100% be prepared to travel because Chappelle is a tour de force.

After releasing two stand-up specials on Netflix, Equanimity and The Bird Revelation, the comedian embarked on a string of sold-out string of shows in Boston, Houston and El Paso, but he wasn’t alone.

Since Jon Stewart left The Daily Show, his absence has been felt because in a very weird way, his take on American life was more accurate than the ‘legitimate’ news.

Hell, Stewart frequently jokes that his comedy show was more truthful and fair than 99% of U.S. political shows and after a few gigs with Chappelle, the pair are heading to Europe.

The beloved duo have announced that they’re bringing their comedic genius across the Atlantic as they take over The Royal Albert Hall for two nights – October 21 and 22 – that are sure to be as hilarious as they are memorable.

Tickets for Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart go on-sale to the general public on 17 August 2018 at 10am at www.livenation.co.uk/

Here’s a small taste of what’s in store.
