The show is sponsored by the Purdue Student Concert Committee, Purdue Student Government, Purdue Interfraternity Council, Phi Beta Sigma and the Purdue Panhellenic Association. Chappelle began stand-up comedy at age 14, and since that time he has developed a career in comedy and made a mark in the film industry. His acting debut was in Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," and his first starring role was in "Half Baked," which he also co-wrote. Chappelle also has had roles in "The Nutty Professor," "Con Air," "You’ve Got Mail" and "Blue Streak." Not abandoning his love for stand-up work, Chappelle created "Chappelle's Show," which premiered on Comedy Central in January. Tickets for Chappelle's Purdue show are $25 for students and $31 for general public, which includes a $1 facilities fee. The maximum number of tickets any single purchaser may buy is six.
