Fans of superstar comic Dave Chappelle who’re celebrating his show’s big return to Netflix can celebrate in-person with him this month. The comedian announced three performances of Dave Chappelle and Friends at House of Blues March 23-25.

Tickets for Chappelle’s show tend to sell out in minutes; they go on sale Friday, March 12 at 10 am, exclusively via Ticketmaster.

Much like his previous Houston shows, safety is a priority. Masks will be required at all times while in the venue. Ticket holders will receive a mandatory rapid COVID-19 antigen test prior to entering the venue. Those who test negative will be allowed entry; refunds will be available for those households who test positive.

Chappelle previously visited Houston in November, and subsequently made headlines when, during a performance of Unforgiven, he explained why he requested that Netflix stop streaming his Chappelle’s Show. (In February of this year, both parties made nice.) Chappelle also drew major media buzz when he hosted Saturday Night Live in November 2020.

The legendary comic has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years. Time will tell if Houston can expect another bomb-dropping revelation from Chappelle, known for popping a cigarette and grandly popping off.

Teddy Swims will play at Toyota Center on October 27, 2026.

Singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, who has toured every year since 2022, will keep up his road warrior ways in 2026 with The Ugly Tour, which will include a stop at the Toyota Center on Tuesday, October 27.

The all-arena tour officially kicks off in Kansas City, Missouri on September 22, hitting 32 cities over the course of two months.

In addition to Houston, Swims will play in Austin on October 28 and Fort Worth on October 30.

The ever-busy performer will also have a short summer tour, as well as multiple festival dates through the end of July.

Swims will be touring in support of his 2025 album, I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 2), the follow-up to his 2023 debut album, I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1).

That first album contained his two biggest hits to date: "Lose Control," which set the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 hit after spending 112 weeks on the chart, and "The Door."

He also recently collaborated with David Guetta on the 2025 single, "Gone Gone Gone," and released a non-album single, "Mr. Know It All," ahead of his recent performance at Coachella.

Fans can register for presale access at teddyswims.com/#tour. The Teddy Swims Presale begins Wednesday, April 22 at 10 am local time.

The general public on-sale date is Friday, April 24, at 10 am local time at Ticketmaster.com.
