Catch the comedian on 21 and 22 September 2025.
London is set for a serious dose of stand-up. Dave Chappelle will perform two back-to-back shows at O2 Forum Kentish Town on 21 and 22 September 2025, adding heavyweight star power to the city’s autumn calendar. With a fan base spanning generations, expect tickets to sell out quickly.
Chappelle’s story begins in Washington, D.C., before a Maryland upbringing shaped his early years and sharpened his observational eye. Inspired by comedy icons Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, he developed a voice that blends quick wit with cultural critique. That perspective powered Chappelle’s Show, the landmark sketch series he created and starred in, and Dave Chappelle’s Block Party, a concert film he produced and headlined. On the big screen, he has appeared in A Star Is Born and The Nutty Professor, cementing his pop-culture reach beyond the stand-up stage.
Over the course of his career, Chappelle has collected major accolades, including six Emmy Awards and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour. His stand-up catalogue on Netflix has become essential viewing, with Sticks & Stones, The Closer and The Dreamer showcasing his commanding stage presence. He also released 8:46 in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, a searing set that examines violence against African Americans and underscores his willingness to confront difficult topics head-on. He’s also a six-time Grammy winner for Best Comedy Album.
Chappelle’s comedy often draws on personal experiences, refracting them through politics, culture, and identity to provoke laughs and conversation in equal measure. The O2 Forum’s intimate atmosphere only heightens that impact, bringing fans closer to the action for two nights of no-nonsense stand-up.
Whether you discovered him through the legendary sketches, the Netflix specials or a memorable film cameo, these London dates promise a rare chance to catch one of comedy’s defining voices in a classic venue.
