Taking to the stage at the intimate gig, Chappelle performed a set that lasted several hours.
It comes the day before he begins a short arena tour in the UK with fellow comedian Chris Rock.
The pair are due to perform at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, before two dates at London’s O2 Arena.
Chappelle is also taking part in a special tribute concert in memory of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 3.
