Comedy fans and Hip-Hop lovers unite for a special night in New York City after Dave Chappelle announced that he was teaming up with Childish Gambino for an exclusive event.
According to published reports on Monday (Jun 12), Gambino and Chappelle are set to team up for a one-night-only show at the famous Radio City Music Hall.

Gambino isn’t the only one joining Chappelle at the legendary venue, Erykah Badu, the Roots, Chris Rock, Trevor Noah, Ali Wong, and more are set to hit the stage during his residency at Radio City. Ten shows have been added and they will go on sale Friday (Jun 16) at 10 AM via Ticketmaster. .
