Expensive concert in Rwandan history: Comedy icon Dave Chappelle to perform in Kigali

Chappelle, widely considered one of the world's most renowned comedians, will perform at a high-end restaurant, Kōzo Kigali, as a reliable source revealed.

According to the Kozo ticket purchasing website, tickets for the show are already sold out.

Tickets for the highly anticipated show cost Rwf200,000, making it the most expensive concert in Rwandan history.

The comedian's Kigali performance will follow his Nairobi show, scheduled for Wednesday, May 29, at the National Museum of Kenya, where phones will not be allowed into the event venue.

Chappelle is known for having a no-phone policy during his shows, with multiple reports indicating that this is to protect the comedian’s work, which might also restrict Kigali fans from using phones at the highly anticipated comedy show.

Born in 1973 in Washington, D.C., Dave Chappelle began pursuing a career in acting while in high school. He made his first film in Robin Hood: Men in Tights in 1993 and starred in the stoner comedy Half Baked later in the decade.

The comedian found great success in 2003 with the launch of Chappelle's Show, before abruptly leaving the wildly popular program on the eve of its third season. Chappelle returned to touring as a stand-up comic in 2013 and went on to direct a series of acclaimed specials for Netflix.
