Comedian Dave Chappelle is returning to the cornfields of Ohio this month for two special performances.

Chappelle will host “Dave Chappelle’s Summer Camp” at Wirrig Pavillion in his hometown of Yellow Springs Friday, Aug. 23 and Saturday, Aug. 24. The comedy shows in the cornfield began as Chappelle’s response to the the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to provide both economic and comedic relief to the local community. They’ve since become a summer tradition.

The Summer Camp shows are a phone- and device-free experience, so attendees will be given Yondr pouches where they can secure their phones, smart watches and other accessories. Devices will only allowed to be accessed in designated areas.
