Dave Chappelle's next marathon gig?

How can I find out if and when Dave Chappelle plans on doing another marathon stand-up gig at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood? Are these secret shows, or are they advertised publicly?

Usually big comedians aren't advertised at all for those smaller venues. They just walk in and the club owner lets them bump all the less famous acts (it can be a frustrating thing for young comedians to either get bumped by a huge comedian or have to follow one).

I think the same was true for Chappelle's marathon sessions and would be true in the future, especially since his break with Comedy Central seemed to be motivated by feeling the pressure to perform. Advertising a big stand up show would probably be the same pressure.
