Attendees who planned to see Dave Chappelle at Minneapolis’ iconic First Avenue will have to reroute to Varsity Theater tonight. On Wednesday evening, the venue originally scheduled to host the comedian announced it would be canceling the show hours before set time.<\/p>\n
Apologizing to their staff, artists, and the community, organizers at First Avenue said in a statement that they had to \u201chold ourselves to the highest standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not just a black box with people in it, and we understand that First Ave is not just a room, but meaningful beyond our walls,\u201d the venue wrote. \u201cThe First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country, and we will continue with that mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those planning to attend the show were set to receive an email with information about the comedy event’s new venue, Varsity Theater, two and a half miles away.<\/p>\n
