Dave Chappelle comedy show requires rapid COVID-19 test for admission
HOUSTON โ Guests heading to comedian Dave Chappelleโs show in Houston on Thursday night needed more than a ticket to enter the House of Blues. โMandatory rapid COVID-19 testing onsite prior to entering,โ the venue said in a Tweet explaining the ground rules. โItโs a minor inconvenience for a good time.โThe arrival times were staggered and you had to buy tickets in groups of four, Seymore said. โIโm not concerned for my safety or the safety of anybody else at all, frankly, just because of the measures theyโre taking in order to ensure our safety,โ Seymore said. Organizers have not yet said how many people were in attendance for Thursday nightโs show or whether anyone who showed up at the door tested positive.
