Comedian Dave Chappelle will perform at the Brady Theater Dec. 19, the venue announced Monday.

Tickets for the show are $52.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. Tickets can be purchased at bradytheater.com, by phone at 866-977-6849, at area Reasor's stores or at Starship Records, 1241 S. Lewis Ave.

Chappelle has performed as a comedian since the early 1990s and landed his first film role in 1993 in Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." He had roles in several films through the 1990s while building his stand-up comedy reputation.

In 2003, he launched the sketch comedy show "Chappelle's Show," which was an enormous hit. At the height of its popularity in 2005, Chappelle left the show, saying he was unhappy with the direction it had taken.

His popularity endured other projects through that time. He returned to the stand-up stage in earnest recently, touring last year and selling out 10 shows at Radio City in New York this summer.
