Dave Chappelle Takes Center Stage at Netflix Is a Joke Fest

Dave Chappelle is gearing up to light up the Hollywood Palladium with a trio of electrifying performances as part of the much-anticipated Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

The Return of a Comedy Legend

Chappelle is fresh off a wave of success, having bagged a Grammy for his Netflix special "The Dreamer," released on Christmas Eve 2023. His recent surprise special, "The Unstoppable," marked his eighth collaboration with the streaming platform. Notably, Chappelle became the first comedian to be honored with the NAACP President’s Award in 2025, further cementing his status as a comedy powerhouse.

Adding even more star power to the festival is the recent announcement that Louis C.K. will also be headlining and releasing a new Netflix special this summer. This festival is shaping up to be a must-attend event for comedy lovers worldwide.
