Dave Chappelle Forced to Scrap Remaining Comedy Shows Due to Possible Covid-19 Exposure

The ‘Sticks and Stones’ star has been forced to call off the remaining dates of his Intimate Socially Distanced Affair stand-up shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio due to suspected Covid-19 exposure.

AceShowbiz -Funnyman Dave Chappelle‘s forthcoming live shows have been scrapped due to a “possible” Covid-19 exposure among the crew behind the comedy gigs.

Chappelle has been front and centre during the pandemic with his Intimate Socially Distanced Affair shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio, but his efforts have been stifled due to a potential coronavirus threat.

“Due to possible exposure to Covid-19 within our inner circle, and out of an abundance of caution, we have elected to cancel the remaining … shows,” a rep told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six on Monday (28Sep20).
