Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock bring tour to Memphis: Here's everything you need to know

Memphians will have a rare chance to witness a historic comedy summit, as standup legends Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock team up for a co-headlining tour that will hit Downtown’s FedExForum on Monday night.

The show — one of only a handful of current arena dates Chapelle and Rock have announced for the U.S. — will bring two of the nimblest comic minds of their generation to Memphis.

Here's what to know before you go.

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle: Excitement and controversy

Longtime peers and admirers of each other’s comedy, Chappelle and Rock first joined forces last fall to much anticipation, with a joint tour of the U.K. They followed up with a short run of the Western U.S. in December . The current tour, which kicks off Jan. 20 in Oklahoma City, will see Rock and Chappelle play a total of five dates in cities across Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina.

Remembering Gangsta Boo: Memphis rapper's 'influence is incalculable'

Rock's and Chappelle’s recent careers have been marked by controversy. Last March, Rock was the victim of the slap heard 'round world, when actor Will Smith walked onstage during the Academy Awards and smacked the comedian across the face in response to a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith. Meanwhile, Chappelle placed himself within a media firestorm , attracting criticism for jokes on "Saturday Night Live" and on other stages that some people condemned as anti-Semitic and transphobic.

Over the years, Rock and Chappelle have become known for cannily exposing, diagnosing and lampooning political, racial and cultural hypocrisy and identity, building on the foundation of such predecessors as Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

A 'unique' tour

The material from the tour has been closely guarded — likely because both men are working on new standup specials for 2023 — with a press release ahead of the show announcing that “any jokes and sketches delivered during (the) performance... may not be copied, translated, transmitted, displayed, distributed, or reproduced verbatim" without express prior consent from Pilot Boy Productions, a film and TV production company founded by Chappelle. However, a few reviews of the pair’s European tour dates did surface, offering look at how the Rock/Chappelle pairing might play.

Bruce Dessau of London’s Evening Standard noted that Rock and Chappelle’s O2 arena date was “a flawed yet unique encounter with two comedy titans.”

“Rock’s material on race was strong and maybe no surprise his set felt more polished as he has been touring for a while,” wrote Dessau, noting however that, “Chappelle was the more muscular in every sense of the word, smoking and stepping back to laugh at his punchlines even when they were not quite as razor sharp as they could have been.”

A review of the pair’s Liverpool show by The Guardian’s Brian Logan noted that “Rock’s outlook is not always the freshest. He admits as much here and makes an effort, I think, to soften the harder edges of his occasional chauvinism. Chappelle shares many of the older comic’s assumptions... but makes no apology for it. Rock sees the funny side of male behavior; Chappelle, the alpha ne plus alpha, celebrates and even solemnizes it. See a closing routine in which, all joking apart, he holds up the Rock v Will Smith fracas as an emblem of maleness: 'This is what men do.’” Logan added, “That’s Chappelle for you: no comic is so skilled at hanging you from their every word, none can switch so seamlessly from preaching to comedy then back again. But the charisma isn’t always backed up by strong material.”

Chappelle/Rock show a no phone zone

As has become the custom with certain bigger shows — especially comedy events, where standups are working out material — the Chappelle/Rock date will be a phone-free experience.

According to FedExForum, “the use of phones, smart watches and accessories will not be permitted in the performance space. Upon arrival at the venue, all phones, smart watches and accessories will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event. Guests will maintain possession of their devices at all times and can access them throughout the event only in designated Phone Use Areas within the venue. All devices will be re-secured in Yondr pouches before returning to the performance space. Anyone seen using a during the performance will be escorted out of the venue by security.”

An expected sellout at FedExForum

Although the show was only announced in early January, most of the tickets sold instantly given the unique nature of the pairing.

As of Tuesday, the bulk of the lower bowl seating is gone — though a few platinum ticket options near the stage (ranging from $396 to $546) remain. A larger number of upper level tickets, costing $96.50 are available, for the moment. But the event is expected to sell out before showtime. To purchase tickets, go to Ticketmaster.com .

Actor and comedian Mike Epps has been known to bring down the house with non-stop laughter for his unforgettable nights of comedy. Best known for playing Day-Day Jones in "Next Friday" and its sequel, "Friday After Next," Epps has generated an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers for being not only one of the funniest comic actors but also for his burgeoning dramatic and acting talent. Epps is currently starring in the Netflix comedy series "The Upshaws" and recently dropped a special on Netflix earlier this year called "Mike Epps: Indiana Mike."

Cedric Antonio Kyles, better known by his stage name Cedric the Entertainer , is an American actor, comedian, and game show host. He hosted BET's "ComicView" during the 1993–94 season and "Def Comedy Jam" in 1995. He is best known for co-starring with Steve Harvey on the famed sitcom "The Steve Harvey Show," as one of The Original Kings of Comedy, and for starring as Eddie Walker in "Barbershop." He hosted the 12th season of the daytime version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 2013–14 and starred in the TV Land original series "The Soul Man," which aired from 2012 until 2016. He has also done voice work for "Ice Age," the "Madagascar" film series, "Charlotte's Web," and the "Planes" franchise. He has recently been a part of multiple TV Series, including "The Neighborhood" from 2018-22 and "Woke" from 2020-22.

Comedian, actor, and voice-artist Earthquake earned a solid fan base in standup comedy via programming platforms fueled by BET, HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime, and more. Born Nathaniel Stroman, 'Quake' (as he's known by fans) entered America's households on the classic run of BET's "Comic View" and HBO's "Def Comedy Jam."

In addition, Earthquake wowed audiences with one of his most memorable performances for HBO's coveted 30-minute comedy special series, ​"One Night Stand," and has filmed a string of other comedy specials, including "About Got Damn Time," "Walter Latham Presents," "From the Outhouse to the Whitehouse" and more. 

One of the most popular and universally recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the television, film, and radio arenas. D.L. Hughley can currently be heard nationwide as the host of his afternoon radio show, "The DL Hughley Show," nationally syndicated in over 60 cities across the country. A New York Times best-selling author, D.L. Hughley has written various books, including "How to Survive America," "Surrender, White People," "Black Man, White House: An Oral History of the Obama Years" and "How Not to Get Shot." In addition, D.L. Hughley continues to dominate the standup stage, producing specials for Netflix, Showtime, and HBO. 

John Whitfield, better known as DC Young Fly , is an internet personality, comedian, actor, host, rapper, and singer-songwriter best known for his "roasting sessions" videos on Instagram and Vine. His videos earned him co-signs from celebrities like Kevin Hart, Michael Blackson, Lebron James, Chris Tucker, etc. DC has starred in films such as Almost Christmas (2016), She Ball with Nick Cannon, and I Got the Hook Up 2 with Master P (2019). In addition, he was a recurring cast member on the improv comedy show Wild' N Out on MTV, VH1, and MTV2; and a main host for the revival of TRL on MTV from 2017 to 2018. As a musician, DC has also taken the reins in the music industry, reaching the Top 10 on iTunes R&B wIth his 12th mixtape, TRAPSOUL, and opened for Chris Brown's "Party Tour" (2017). In 2021, he opened his improv comedy club, "DC Comedy Exchange," in Miami Beach, Florida.

Upcoming open mics.

Stand-up comedy open mics are different from regular shows because they’re places where aspiring comedians, as well as seasoned performers, try out new jokes in front of a live audience.  These events are typically informal and welcoming to newcomers, providing a platform for comedians to experiment and hone their craft. The audience, made up of comedy fans, comedians, and people just looking for a good time, is an important piece of the puzzle, because comedians need to hear reactions to the jokes, both good and bad. You might hear some great new jokes and some that don’t quite land, but everyone’s encouraged to laugh, clap, or even groan to give feedback to the comedians. Expect a mix of hilarious moments, occasional misfires and a bomb or two, but remember , your laughter and support mean a lot to the comedians striving to entertain you! Note: Not all events listed are produced by High Water Comedy.

Bubba Dub, the curator of the catchphrase Trashh!! Aka Mr. Faaawwty years is a phenom in his own right. Bubba Dub has over 2 million followers on his social media platforms. Bubba Dub is known for his ‘Snitching on Rogers’ skits & other story lines on Youtube and Instagram (@BubbaDub94). He is truly a viral laughing sensation. His comedic videos and catchphrases have been used and reposted by some of pop culture’s most famous celebrities such as Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A Smith, 50cent, Snoop Dogg, Gillie the Kid and many others. Although social media has expanded Bubba Dub’s brand visibility, his stand up and improv comedy is what solidifies his most loyal fans.

Cyndi Lauper is retiring from the road. The “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” singer-songwriter announced a farewell tour Monday morning, setting one last national jaunt that will take her to arenas in 23 cities in North America this fall before she calls it a day as a touring artist.

Lauper did not release any statement explaining her reasons for deciding to do a farewell tour now, although she is expected to talk about it later this week as she promotes a new documentary about her career, “Let the Canary Sing,” that premieres on Paramount+ Tuesday.

How to get a refund after comedian Matt Rife canceled his Bloomington show (again)

Comedian Matt Rife and his 2024 ProbleMATTic World Tour have had, well, a problematic history performing in Indiana.

Rife, who was supposed to appear twice Wednesday at IU Auditorium in Bloomington to sold-out audiences at 7 and 10 p.m., canceled the show reportedly 20 minutes after it was supposed to start.

What did Matt Rife say about the Bloomington shows?

Rife made a social media post Wednesday at 7:38 p.m. to X, formerly Twitter, saying a "last minute medical emergency" required him to reschedule his Bloomington appearances — the second such postponement this year.

"Indiana: I'm so f**king sorry, but due to a last minute medical emergency, I have to reschedule our shows tonight (again)," Rife tweeted. "I've been doing 40+ shows a month for a year and a half and never had to do something like this. I'm so sorry. I hope you understand and I love you so much. ❤️💔"

Neither Rife nor IU Auditorium elaborated further about the medical emergency in question.

Rife postpones Bloomington show twice

It marks the second time Rife has ditched Bloomington. A scheduling conflict , according to an earlier news release, led Rife to postpone two sold-out performances at IU Auditorium on Feb.14, which were rescheduled to May 29, which have now been postponed again.

Bloomington audiences weren't the only ones feeling jilted at the time. A Feb. 16 show in Memphis also was postponed  until June.

Fans of the comedian reacted on X with mixed results — most wishing Rife a speedy recovery while others bemoaned lost hotel and traveling expenses.

How Matt Rife fans are reacting on X, formerly Twitter

Tickets to see Rife are famously hard to get. The viral comedian has amassed more than 13 million followers on TikTok and recently starred in the movie, " The Private Eye ," earlier this year. Rife's fame also has met controversy after he joked about  domestic violence  at the beginning of his  Netflix special  released in November.

Matt Rife canceled. How to get a refund

The cost per ticket to see Rife perform Wednesday in Bloomington ranged in price from $53.50-$113.50, according to IU Auditorium. Here's how fans can get their money back.
