Dave Chappelle Is Suddenly Playing the Aladdin Theater Next Week

Surprise! Again!

In what's become something of a bi-annual tradition, comedian Dave Chappelle is doing a surprise string of shows in Portland next week.

The mercurial comic will perform four shows in three nights at Aladdin Theater, March 15-17.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 5 pm, and will likely evaporate quickly. Of course, last time this happened—at the much more intimate Helium Comedy Club in 2014—several more shows got added as the others sold out, so you'd be best advised to keep an eye out.

Or, you know, you can camp out in Pioneer Courthouse Square for a few days with a microphone and a portable amp and heart brimming with hope, and just see what happens.

UPDATE: Tickets sold out in 4 minutes. But don't worry, you can still get them on StubHub for $400!

GO: Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave., 7 pm Tuesday, 7 and 10 pm Wednesday and 7 pm Thursday, March 15-17. $55.
