CHAPPELLE’S COMEDY HOUSE OK’D IN YELLOW SPRINGS

Venue to be place for ‘the greats’ to perform, as well as local talent.

Dave Chappelle’s planned restaurant and comedy club in Yellow Springs earned unanimous approval from the village planning commission on Tuesday night and will move forward with construction.

According to the plans submitted to the Yellow Springs Planning Commission, Chappelle plans to call the restaurant “Firehouse Eatery” and the comedy club “Live from YS.”

Chappelle’s company, Iron

Table Holdings LLC, bought the former Miami Twp. Fire Station in December. The station is located at 225 Corry St.

The restaurant and comedy club would sell food and alcohol, according to the plans submitted. There would be both indoor and outdoor seating and separate seating for performances.

The restaurant would be open until 10 p.m. seven days a week, according to village plans. Shows would be scheduled for four days a week between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m.

Max Crome, of Max Crome Architecture, who is working with Chappelle on this project, also addressed parking during the meeting.
