What happened to Chappelle’s Minneapolis show?

Chappelle’s Minneapolis stand-up show on July 20, 2022, was canceled just hours before the comedian was set to perform due to social media backlash received by First Avenue theater.

“To staff, artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry. We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we know we let you down. We are not just a black box with people in it, and we understand that First Ave is not just a room, but meaningful beyond our walls,” First Avenue wrote in an Instagram statement regarding their decision.

“The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country, and we will continue with that mission. We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honoring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have.”

The Minnesota show was, instead, hosted at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown.
