The Anthem is finally back in business. DC native Dave Chappelle will welcome audiences with a show at The Wharf venue on Friday evening.
While there isn’t a description of what Chappelle’s show will be, there’s a disclaimer that no cellphones, cameras, or recording devices will be allowed. Instead, guests will have to put all phones and smartwatches in pouches that won’t be unlocked until the end of the show. Attendees will be in possession of their pouched phone the whole time, and the unlocking stations in the lobby will be accessible throughout the night.
Tickets to Chappelle’s show go on sale this evening at 5 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Friday, and the show begins at 8.
Chapelle will also be at the Kennedy Center in August to screen his new documentary.
