Chappelle is planning to open a new comedy club and restaurant in Yellow Springs, OH, the town where he held his series of intimate, socially-distanced comedy shows over the summer.
The annual comedy and music benefit is going virtual this year with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Bill Callahan, Vanessa Bayer, Fred Armisen, Sleaford Mods, John Darnielle, David Pajo, AC Newman, Mary Timony, Steve Albini, and more scheduled to appear.
Like the December residency, the January shows will be socially distant, reserved seating, masks-required affairs, and all attendees will be given a rapid COVID antigen test upon arrival, with a negative result required to enter.
“Festpocalypse“ will also feature Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Patton Oswalt, Paget Brewster, Ron Funches, Eddie Izzard, Weird "Al" Yankovic, Paul F Tompkins, Jane Lynch, Doug Benson, Kumail Nanjiani, Christopher Guest, Jon Hamm, Fred Armisen, and much more.
