It's been a long time since Minnesota has gotten to see Chris Rock stand-up in person.

But that drought ends early next year, when the 51-year-old performs at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on March 10.

Update: Rock just added shows on March 11 and March 12 too.

Rock announced a bunch of new dates Tuesday morning for his Total Blackout tour. It's his first comedy tour in nine years, and he teased it Monday night with a Facebook video.

He's got all new material ready, too.
