“I know I’ve been gone for a very long time,”

Dave Chappelle’s first stand-up comedy special will be released on Netflix on March 21, and the trailer has been released.

Snippets from the shows can be heard as the American comic sits in an outdoor area, smoking. Chappelle’s last televised stand-up special was back in 2005, before he infamously stepped away from his successful skit show on Comedy Central.

The 43-year-old has gradually returned to the spotlight over the past couple of years, and began touring full-time again in 2013.

He will reportedly be paid $60m for the three shows, two of which will be available on the streaming service later this month.
