A Minneapolis concert venue cancelled a Dave Chappelle show just hours before it was scheduled to start, saying it had "lost sight of the impact" the controversial comedian's set would have on its audience. The Wednesday night show was moved to another venue across town.
"To staff, artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry," First Avenue said in a statement announcing the cancellation. "We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we know we let you down. ... The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest space in the country, and we will continue with that mission."
