Dave Chappelle is the latest celebrity to test positive for COVID-19. According to reports, he has canceled a number of comedy shows scheduled in Austin, TX as he’s currently quarantined. He has experienced no symptoms.

Chappelle’s rep said in a statement,

“Dave Chappelle is quarantined after testing positive for COVID-19. His remaining shows at Stubbs Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin, TX have been canceled and ticket holders should contact their point of purchase for refunds. Chappelle has safely conducted socially-distanced shows in Ohio since June 2020 and he moved those shows to Austin during the winter. Chappelle implemented COVID-19 protocols which included rapid testing for the audience and daily testing for himself and his team. His diligent testing enabled him to immediately respond by quarantining, thus mitigating the spread of the virus. Chappelle is asymptomatic”.

Chappelle was set to perform five nights at the Stubbs Waller Creek Amphitheater this week Wednesday through Sunday and performed the first of them on Wednesday evening.
