Sky Elements Lights Up LA for Dave Chappelle's Netflix Is A Joke Fest Appearance

Sky Elements Drone Shows produced the drone show reveal in Netflix's promo for Dave Chappelle's Pulling Up to Netflix Is A Joke Fest: a cinematic spot narrated by Morgan Freeman, starring Dave Chappelle, and capped by a drone formation lockup of the Netflix logo with Chappelle's signature logo.

The promo dropped April 28 ahead of Chappelle's headlining run at the Netflix Is A Joke Fest in Los Angeles, May 4–10, 2026.

A Drone Show Built for the Punchline

Sky Elements designed and flew the drone show that delivers the Netflix spot's final beat: hundreds of drones forming a clean, instantly readable Netflix x Dave Chappelle lockup, glowing against the Los Angeles night. Morgan Freeman's narration carries the build, and Chappelle himself sits in frame, deadpan, smoking a cigarette.

For marketing teams, the appeal is straightforward:

• One image, infinite reach. A drone reveal is built to be filmed, posted, and replayed. The Netflix x Chappelle lockup is the kind of frame that gets pulled into thumbnails, social cuts, and press coverage long after the show ends.
• Brand-safe spectacle. No pyrotechnics, no smoke, no fire risk. Just light, choreography, and a logo formation timed to the second.
• Repeatable on a tour. The same show can move from LA to New York to a festival field with the same visual payoff.

Sky Elements is the largest drone light show company in the United States, with a roster of fleet sizes that scales from intimate brand activations to large-scale marketing promo material.
