In brief

Chappelle adds arena dates
Dave Chappelle announced a batch of new arena shows, and he has been added to the New York Comedy Festival as a headliner.
Opening night at MSG
He opens the festival on Nov. 6 with a show at Madison Square Garden, the biggest room on the schedule.
He is not alone
Other festival headliners include Marc Maron, Ilana Glazer and Daniel Sloss, with more names on the bill.
Nashville then Charlotte
Chappelle plays Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Oct. 20, then Charlotte's Spectrum Center the very next night.
Four more cities
The run also stops in Toronto, Louisville, Austin and Houston before the New York date closes it out.
Leave the phone alone
Every show is a phone-free experience. Devices get locked into Yondr pouches at the door, so nothing leaks online.
“phone-free experiences”
The main idea
Chappelle's fall arena run opens the New York Comedy Festival at MSG on Nov. 6, and every show is phone-free.
