Dave Chappelle Plans Three Stand-Up Specials for Netflix

BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix has lined up three all-new stand-up specials from comedian Dave Chappelle, to be released simultaneously in 2017.

Chappelle and director Stan Lathan will produce an original stand-up comedy special exclusively for Netflix, with its premiere date to be announced. Two additional never-before-seen specials come from Chappelle’s personal comedy vault. Directed by Lathan and filmed at Austin City Limits and The Hollywood Palladium, these represent Chappelle’s first concert specials in 12 years.

“Dave Chappelle is a legendary voice in comedy—searing, vital, and now more than ever, essential,” said Lisa Nishimura, the VP of original documentary and comedy at Netflix. “Dave’s three new specials promise to be some of the most anticipated events in comedy, and we are honored he will mark his global return on Netflix.”
