Chris D’Elia, the controversial standup comedian and podcast host, will perform three shows in Alabama this fall.

D’Elia will perform at the BJCC Theatre in Birmingham Oct. 10; The Montgomery Performing Arts Centre in Montgomery Oct. 11; and the Saenger Theatre in Mobile Oct. 12.

Primarily known for his standup comedy — including the specials “White Male. Black Comic,” “Incorrigible,” “Man on Fire” and “No Pain” — D’Elia, 44, also has a successful podcast “Congratulations with Chris D’Elia.”

The New Jersey native has also appeared on “Ten Minute Podcast,” “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “Hot Ones,” “H3 Podcast,” “The Fighter and the Kid,” “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” “The Golden Hour” and a podcast he cohosts with his brother Matt D’Elia “Lifeline.”

D’Elia is also an actor with several television credits including “Whitney,” “Undateable,” “Workaholics,” “The Good Doctor” and “You.”

In June 2020, D’Elia was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, some of whom alleged he tried to engage with them when they were as young as 16.

“I know I have said and done things that might have offended people during my career, but I have never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point,” D’Elia said in a statement to TMZ.

Later in 2020, D’Elia’s appearance in Zack Snyder’s Netflix film “Army of the Dead” was removed. He was replaced by standup comic Tig Notaro. His agency, Creative Arts Agency (CAA), also dropped him in the wake of the allegations.

In September 2020, CNN reported actress Megan Drust accused D’Elia of exposing himself to her in a car without her consent. D’Elia denied the allegations.

After taking a break from his podcast and other media appearances, D’Elia posted a video on his YouTube channel to address the allegations. “I know it looks bad, and it doesn’t show the full scope of what happened,” he said in the video.

“I stand by the fact that all my relationships have been consensual and legal,” he said. “That’s the truth.”

He also said “sex controlled my life,” adding, “And I do have a problem…I need to do work on that. “

In March 2021, The Los Angeles Times reported D’Elia was named in a lawsuit accusing him of violating federal child pornography and child sexual exploitation laws, including soliciting more than 100 sexually explicit photos and videos from a woman identified as “Jane Doe.”

The Hollywood reporter said the lawsuit in a U.S. District Court for the Central District of California claimed that, in 2014, “a then 34-year-old D’Elia sexually abused Doe while she was 17 years old and demanded sexually explicit images from her after meeting her over social media.” D’Elia denied the allegations. In April 2021, the woman voluntarily dropped the lawsuit.

In June 2023, Rolling Stone reported more allegations of sexual misconduct.

D’Elia recently spoke about the allegations during an extended interview with Soft White Underbelly, in which he said “being canceled” was the roughest thing he’s had to deal with in his life.

“It was the hardest thing I’ve had to deal with, I would say,” he said. “It’s horrible. It’s always interesting talking about it, because I still feel like there’s no real right way to talk about it without people just being angry at all sides of it…The truth is people lie.”

He was also asked if there was any truth to the allegations.

“I was a womanizer,” D’Elia said. “And that’s the truth. No, what I was canceled for was not the truth. But it doesn’t matter.”

“Something that I would always go back to, no matter how hard it was during that time, I would say like, ‘Everything’s OK, because, no matter what, I can end my life and not feel this,’ right?” he continued. “And I would constantly think of that. Like, ‘All good, everything’s fine. You can always end your life.’”
