Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Amy Schumer are among the notable stand-up comedians headlining the inaugural Netflix Is A Joke Fest, which will be staged at over 20 Los Angeles venues from April 27-May 3.

There will be no festival passes, but tickets for each individual event go on sale Tuesday for presale and Friday for the general public.

The hundred-show fest marks a reunion for Comic Relief USA co-founders Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg – who will pay homage to and induct their partner Robin Williams who died, age 63, in 2014.
