Comedian Dave Chappelle will be taking his recently-produced documentary about his pandemic comedy shows to ten U.S. cities after various film festivals blacklisted him amid controversy over his Netflix comedy special.

Though Dave Chappelle typically keeps his stand-up shows under tight wraps, on Monday, he posted a brief five-minute video to his Instagram of him talking about all the controversy that arose after Netflix aired his recent comedy special, The Closer, which heavily mocked elements of the LGBTQ community over its stranglehold on free speech.

At one point, Chappelle mentioned a documentary he created during the pandemic that he says was blacklisted by various film festivals after his special aired.

“This film that I made was invited to every film festival in the United States and some of those invitations I accepted. When this controversy came out about ‘The Closer,’ they began disinviting me from these film festivals,” Chappelle claimed. “And now, today, not a film company, not a movie studio, not a film festival, nobody will touch this film.”
