Kevin Hart Reality Check Tour Review: It’s Like He Never Left

Kevin Hart is back in the UK for his first appearance in 4 years and it’s like he never left. Here’s our Kevin Hart Reality Check tour review.

The question that was on the UK audience’s lips was, could Kevin come back and deliver? It took about 60 seconds for Kevin to answer that question with a resounding yes.

After a few more movies under his belt since his last visit in 2018, the Reality Check tour is a fine return to form for Kevin in front of a UK audience but before I dive into Kevin’s show I want to give a big shoutout to the Plastic Cup Boyz as they absolutely smashed it in the warm-up show before Kevin took to the stage.

Joey Wells, Spank Horton and Na’im Lynn all had similar topics of conversation. Sex, women and growing older were all topics on the agenda but all delivered it in their own wonderful way.

Joey certainly warmed the crowd up as he was commenting on the fact that the show was running 15 minutes late and then worked it into his whole act, if that was ad-libbed or not I’ll never know but that impressed me!

Spank Horton certainly focused his jokes on getting older, his humour was more dry in its delivery but I enjoyed it. I’d have enjoyed it even more if it wasn’t for two idiots on the front row talking throughout the entire set.

Please note that the start time on the tickets is when the Plastic Cup Boyz take to the stage and not Kevin. Each supporting act had a 20-minute set with Kevin taking to the stage an hour after the event starting time. 

Na’im Lynn absolutely blew me away. How he delivered his lines and mixed them up with the perfect facial expressions and even threw in some self-deprecating humour I certainly warmed to his act more than the other two.

They all smashed it in their own individual styles but I certainly gravitated towards Na’im and out of the three I’d certainly want to see his set longer, a real talent.

Kevin took to the stage and Manchester Arena was deafening with applause. The second he opened his mouth to deliver lines about cosmetic surgery he couldn’t even compose himself to deliver it. The whole crowd laughed with it, if you’re still laughing at your own jokes this deep into a tour then you know they’re funny!

Don’t worry little snowflakes, this show is for you too but that culture was touched upon by the previous three acts and Kevin just embellished on areas a little bit. As always Kevin spoke about his family and friends and experiences and it’s those relatable experiences that gravitate the audience to him.

Everyone can relate to a situation that Kevin is discussing. We may not have the money or the fancy jets to go with it but we can all relate to that human interaction and human struggle.

Some absolute gold about a certain Denny’s news story, plastic surgery to improve height, his brothers imaginary dog and even a story about a black lives matter protest were key highlights for me. Crying into my arm hoping that Kevin doesn’t see me in pieces and make me laugh even more sort of crying.

We were front row, for my first-ever Kevin Hart gig. A man whose films I’ve been reviewing for y ears, a man whose stand-ups I’ve only seen on a screen that I’ve reviewed, audiobooks I’ve reviewed and now for the first time he was right in front of me. As close as you could get, the best seats in the damn house and I loved it!

What I loved, even more, was that there were no mobile phones in sight. Before you enter the arena you’re given a pouch to put your phone in and it’s locked. You can’t get into that bag no matter how hard you try (unless you have sharp scissors).

For an entire evening, no phones going off, no one in front of you recording or distracting you with screens. You were present, in the moment and it was a beautiful thing to be a part of.

The only downside to that was that when exiting the arena there was only around 4 people with the devices needed to unlock the phone cases. Four people Vs 21,000 adults wanting their phones back is absolutely horrific planning! They need to sort that out immediately, people were ripping open their cases, taking the cases home and all sorts, it was mayhem!

Kevin’s strengths as a performer relate his audience to the material. He reenacts the scenes but rarely keeps his composure (he must be a joy to work with on set) and it makes the show even more endearing and hilarious.

A story about a woman throwing faeces at a barista is a funny story on its own but it’s how Kevin steps into the shoes of the story and places us there right next to him. It’s a talent and it’s why the man is where he is today, acting and comedy blend with perfect timing (and sometimes composure although it was difficult) and it’s a joy to see it in person.

A whole audience laughed and for one evening we were one, all together, all family (except those two talking idiots next to me, they’re ex-communicado in my book).

Zero F**ks Given was a show Kevin did in lockdown in his home and those jokes whilst great treaded somewhat lightly and didn’t have the same effect as shows gone by in my opinion. Reality Checks certainly checks us back into the Kevin Hart we know and love.

Don’t get me wrong, Zero F**ks Given was a great show but back in front of an audience (a big audience) is where Kevin thrives.

Reality Checks is not a celebration of comedy, it’s a celebration of family, friendship and togetherness and we’re all there as one enjoying the show. It really is like he never left.

I can die happy now I’ve finally seen the man in person and what a way to see him. Smack bang at the front. How did we get the tickets you ask? We used the presale link that Kevin adds to his official website and we managed to get them even earlier than the normal presale link.

If there’s one bad thing I’d say about the tour it’s that meet and greets aren’t included in the package. Paying £400+ in some cases for a tote bag, poster (unsigned) and some other goodies just isn’t worth it whatsoever.

I hope Kevin brings back meet-and-greet packages one day, for me that was the only disconnect Kevin had to his audience the entire time with this UK tour.

I’m sure there are many a reason why it didn’t happen on this UK tour and it’s a shame, it is what it is, but one day I do hope that changes.

Kevin Hart: Reality Check Review – The king is coming for his crown

This review of the Peacock film Kevin Hart: Reality Check does not contain spoilers.

Between 2009 and 2020, Kevin Hart released over seven stand-up comedy specials while doing two full tours across the world. Of course, Hart didn’t stop working between 2020 and 2023; he was making hit movies left and right. However, after four years of not being on a worldwide tour, Hart returned to the stage for the Reality Check Tour . And after a three-year hiatus, Hart is set to return to the stage for his eighth stand-up comedy special but his first for Peacock , Kevin Hart: Reality Check .

Kevin Hart: Reality Check review and plot summary

Reality Check sees Kevin Hart hit the stage to talk about his ever-growing family, his father’s ability to give great nicknames and his feelings about Black Twitter.

The special kicks off with an elaborate opening with Kevin being driven to the arena, and he hits the stage with a baseball bat in his hand. Of course, the bat is to “protect” himself in case someone tries to hit the stage like they did with Chappelle. He mentions that he is about to tell jokes and for the audience to unclench their butt cheeks and enjoy the ride.

Hart opens the show by talking about plastic surgery and how it has changed over the years, from making fun of Lebron for growing hair overnight to someone taking fat out of their back and adding it to his legs to make him taller. A strong opening monologue from Hart sets the tone early.

As mentioned, Hart hadn’t done a special in over three years, and what I loved about this special was the fact it was reminiscent of the old Kevin Hart, the joke writer who didn’t care about who he might offend or what might come from one of his jokes. Hart never really crossed many lines over the years, so this felt like a refreshed Kevin Hart with a chip on his shoulder.

Nobody on this planet is as good on stage as Kevin Hart. From his hand gestures to his voices to his facial expressions, it’s truly incredible how he elevates each of his jokes with these mannerisms. Another thing he does perfectly is the callbacks to his jokes from earlier on the show — heck, his callbacks to his past specials are fantastic. His on-point joke-writing skills allow him to intertwine things that shouldn’t make sense.

Is Reality Check good or bad?

In 2023 we’ve seen some heavy-hitting stand-up specials from some new faces and some veterans. Hart quickly reminds us that he is one of the best of the best, not just of this era but of all time. Reality Check ranks amongst Hart’s best work on the stage as we watch a man find a new lease on life. I credit this to that time off, which let him get back into the world of writing and processing things happening around him.

Is Kevin Hart: Reality Check worth watching?

Fans of Kevin Hart will have a blast with Reality Check . If you are like me and saw Hart on his Reality Check Tour , you might realize that the material is identical. However, that didn’t stop me from enjoying the special as it felt fresh (mainly because I forgot half the jokes). This is Kevin Hart at the top of his game, and you don’t want to miss it.

Emmy & Grammy nominated Kevin Hart was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he launched his career as a comedian during an amateur night at a local comedy club. Over the years Hart has become Hollywood’s box office powerhouse, opening ten films at number one at the box office and grossing more than in $4.23 billion global revenue. Hart is currently touring nationally with his eighth hour of stand-up material; the tour is titled “The Reality Check” Tour.  In 2020 Hart released his seventh hour long stand-up special, “Zero Fu**ks Given,” which quickly became Netflix's biggest stand-up special of 2020 and earned him a Grammy nomination for “Best Comedy Album”.  Hart also earned Emmy nominations for “Die Hart,” for “Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series” along with an Emmy nomination for his Docu-series, “Don’t F**k This Up”.

WORTH EVERY DIME

I read some previous reviews and thought we had wasted our money...I understood about the no phone announcements being annoying however once the show started I understood why. The plastic cup boys were and excellent warm up. Super Funny!!! We loved Kevin’s new material, he had me in tears...excellent show I’d go see it again!!

BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN. EASILY ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS

Kevin Hart's Irresponsible tour was hands down worth the money and I would without a doubt go to one of his shows again. His humour was easily shared by everyone in the crowd and everyone enjoyed themselves in a group environment. He is very clearly a talented comedian and his set had me continuously laughing and smiling throughout the two hours. 5/5 would recommended! The location in Toronto was amazing with many attractions to entertain yourself and friends before and after the show.

FANTASTIC SHOW!

The plastic cup guys were great! But the main attraction was Kevin Hart, naturally. His voice sounded a little tired at first, but then he found his rhythm, and he was back to sounding normal. I loved how his jokes all intermingled, and told a hilarious story. All that said, the best part about Kevin's show is that he is enjoying it just as much as us, often times laughing so hard himself, he struggles to tell the joke! I had a great time, and will see him again when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for a great show!

KEVIN HART AT TALKING STICK ARENA

He had 3 comedians which were great, then he came on...was an Amazing show.....you meed to see it. One of his best!

GREAT PORTLAND OREGON SHOW

Me and my husband went for his irresponsible tour and it was fantastic!! We had floor seats and got the show of our life!! We love u Kevin Hart and keep doing what u do,no one can do it better!!! Sold out every seat and we still felt like you were talking directly to us about our funny life moments

My family and I love Kevin Hart! and this show didn't let us down... would go see him and the other comedians anytime!. Now Alliant Energy Center... I don't know if the parking attendants were sleeping but it sucked getting in and out of there...

OMG what an awesome show. DAVE CHAPELLE opened. It was great to see 3 great performers. Worth every penny…..

AWESOME SHOW!

Enjoyed the show immensely.

GREAT CONCERT

His concert was funny and I would highly recommend!!

FREAKING FANTASTICALLY LAUGHED TILL IT HURT

Listen I never leave reviews actually this might be my first one but kevein hart deserves my time to write this, I live in atlanta and my wife bought tickets, at first I thought shit jacksonville that's what 5hrs at best but I knew we needed a break and time together so i went with it and after that amazing performance I told myself I will drive 10hrs if needed the next time he makes his rounds, it wS great, he was great, the crowd was great, and which truly made me laugh for 2 or 3 hours straight were his openers and host, they were funny as hell too, everyone around us amd we had great sears laughing there assss off, ofcourse I saw a few prunes because the content was dark at some points but I like saying shit others won't is comedy, I'm babbling but show was fantastic, can't wait until the next!!! Thanks Kevin and soldiers for great night, Robert B.

AMAZING SHOW

Kevin hart was awesome. The openers were great. Minus the third one, the one right before Kevin, still funny but not as good as everyone. Such a great experience and worth every penny. If you are able to go please do it. You will not regret it. If you come late don’t worry. The openers start about 30 minutes after the stated time and Kevin comes on about an hour after that. But the openers are awesome so it’s worth it being there at least 30 minutes after it starts.

DISAPPOINTED

I paid for a show I didn’t even see. Tonight has been the worst. I came to the Superdome in New Orleans, to see ur show for an officer to put in out because I checked my phone..People have families and anything can happen. I was not filming nor trying to record the show.. I don’t miss any of ur shows. Some people got warnings, some people were even told not to use their phone because all the signs were not put up over the whole arena. When I spoke to a gentleman, maybe a man that wanted to feel like he was in some type of authority heard what I was saying , at that time he went to put the signs on the side entrance. If I knew that was going to be a policy that Kevin Hart has or have that should have been posted and given customers/ viewers the options before purchasing their tickets. I think it was very unprofessional of the officers and very inconcertate of a human to say u can not use the phone because at any given time an emergency occurs. I am requesting my money back.

STAND UP COMEDY

I thought the show was great. The 3 comedians opened were very funny and had relatable material. As for Kevin. I think he is still a great comedian. His family, himself and stuff we all do. I thoroughly enjoyed the complete show.

We loved it Niam and Joey are just as funny as Kevin. Would go again next time he is in town.

I thought Kevin had a great show. I laughed a lot. There were moments of not so funny but over all great show!! I didn't care for the lateness of the start and based on comments from other states, this happens all the time...not good.

SUPER FUNNY

Went to see Kevin in Winnipeg. Aside from the show starting 30 minutes late, very very funny. As one of the first comedians stated, us 40 something folks plan this outing and want to be home early to go to bed. Don't mess with the plan! and you did. not happy. Other than that, it was funny, relatable and the material was unique. Loved his self depracating humour and the spot of being a black king. Thank you for some great laughs!

KEVIN IS A FUNNY GUY

some really funny spots and some fell flat the second warm up was terrible. hard to sit through, fun night

WHAT'S NEXT? FOR REAL!

Well let me start by saying that I am a Kevin Hart fan. Last night, I was at the United Center and was left with doubts about his true stand up ability. First, there was the constant over the top message about "no cell phone use". After the show, I guess I might not want this show leaked to the public before they buy tickets, if I were K.H.. The opening of his performance was the same that I have seen him do on television more than once. It was funny then, but it was not as funny the second time around especially when I was paying $80 to see something new. He spent too much time on the same story and should have offered more variety. Also, the show was only ONE HOUR. REALLY? This was not worth the money. The show started at 7pm with three comics that preceded Kevin. They were okay. But an hour later Hart was on stage and an hour after that, HE GONE...... I'm sure there are many who feel the same.Not Murphy or Pryor in their prime. A little short of that! lol Disappointed

GREAT SHOW, BUT....

Warnings about cell phone use were seriously overboard, to the point where one of the opening comics devoted (what seemed like) at least 15 minutes of his gig talking about not using them!

NOT TOO HUMOROUS

The show we saw on 11-17 in Oakland at the Coliseum was not up to the standards of humorous intellect we've seen Kevin display before in previous year's shows. With nonstop banter about orgasms, porn habits, his daughter's period, his wife's orgasms or lack thereof and porn, I just didn't get it. He said he "couldn't get through" one of his routines, and all it was was him striking a pose and pretending to pull a self-defensive weapon out of a hidden concealment as he imagined confronting someone breaking into his home, done six times repetitiously after he broke down with laughter. It just did not add up to the otherwise hysterically funny comedy I have seen Kevin display. The crowd was clapping and yelling and the acoustics in the basketball court coliseum were not conducive to even hearing what he was saying. I would not recommend anyone in the family go and see this show. The crowds were in such a hurry to leave I saw an accident in the parking lot during the gridlock after show

WARM UP ACTS BETTER THAN MAIN EVENT

Warm up acts were hilarious! Kevin Hart was okay, not a 5 star performance. Tickets said show began at 7pm, first act didn’t come on until after 8pm. Come on, TIME IS MONEY. If show will not start until 8:30pm, print that on the ticket. Wait until material airs on television, live show not worth the time or money.

CLEVELAND OHIO KEVIN HART

The show was OK, Nothing special or memorable.

I saw the show the show at MSG (NY); to be honest I was slightly disappointed. His set was only 60 min and I think for the price $150) I wanted to laugh until tears came down with stomach pains. I support Kevin and respect him, but a lot of the material he used was recycled from other shows he has done from other sets. I didn't expect the show to start on time as they never do; however, I wanted to leave feeling like I had a memorable moment but I didn't. Not worth the money unless you are getting tickets under 50$ and just want to go just because; will stick to his movies.

KEVIN HART IRRESPONSIBLE TOUR

Went to the show for a bachelorette party and was excited as I’ve never had a chance to see KH live; the plastic cup boys were funny and hyped me up for KH; the constant no cellphone Schlick was annoying! So, when KH came on stage, I was really hyped but like an overfilled balloon, my hypeness was deflated almost immediately. I kept waiting for his funny side to show but it never came and after watching him for 45 mins, I finally had enough and was thoroughly bored and left. I won’t deter anyone from seeing this show as KH is amazing but buyer be ware as these tickets are at least $80.

When to c Kevin in Chgo at the United Center. Show started late 3 comedians before Kevin. Kevin wad not as funny as I have seen him in the past. They kept announcing no cell phones but I saw at least 3 people escorted because of pulling cell phones out. Also disappointing because Kevin wad only for about an hour. Not worth it for the cost of the tks. Probably won't go c Kevin again. Somewhat disappointed.

We attended his show at the PNC arena April 1. We had front row seats. I'm going to be honest the show had some dull moment but also some funny moments. I thought it was cool Kevin told the crowd to pull out our cell phones at the end of his performance. I'm glad he was late because we had to walk just to get to the arena next tired I'll pay for VIP parking. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

AGREE WITH THE CONSENSUS...NOT WITH THE MONEY

Kevin is so funny and charming, but the show just isn't worth the price for the time he spends on stage. I didn't get pricey tickets and go through the horrible trouble of dealing with the absolute nightmare that is Target Center (another story) to see two other unfunny comedians do standup for 2 hours. When finally coming on Kevin said "you got me for awhile" so I was excited thinking this was gonna be a helluva show. It was good. I did laugh, but the $ and stress that came with getting there... would never do again for one hour's worth of entertainment

TOO MUCH...

The purse policy, the cell phone, oh and apple watch policy, the constant militant type patrolling on the floor was ridiculous. Started an hour late but without a watch or phone who could be sure. Great comedy + shitty experience = watching from home next time.

KIND OF DISAPPOINTED

Show was supposed to start at 7, it started at 9. The 3 comedians before where “okay”. Tickets cost was extremely expensive for two ticket for unreliable material. Through it would be a lot more funny.

Saw his shows before and they were hilarious, last nights was mediocre at best. Felt like I was at a casino comedy show. Paid to see Kevin perform, but instead got 3 additional comics and him. He wasn’t even on that long and not great material. Disappointed.

This tour was not as good as his other tours. I was expecting to laugh until I could not breath but it was not as funny. There definitely was some funny parts of the show, but it just was not the same. In addition, I really did not appreciate the fact that the security officers put 2 family members out of the show because she looked at her phone to check who was at her door. They did not give her a warning but claimed that we should have seen the 8x10 flyers. but they were not posted on the lower floor doors and no one gave us a copy nor did the person standing at each row say anything about not even pulling out your cell phone for any reason. This was very disappointing as well. The entire night was a complete disappointment.

10/4/2018 CLEVELAND OHIO KEVIN HART IRRESPONSIBLE TOUR

I've been reading the reviews, and im a Kevin Hart fan. i thought that the NO CAMERA rule was to protect his new material. But after this show, i think its to prevent the word from getting out about how weak and unfunny this show is. THIS WAS HORRIBLE. Not sure if its the delivery or the style, but it got old quick. He didn't have a lot of energy, the material wasn't great, and the gimmicks that he tried to pull off like the "fussing at the baby" bit where the camera man, that was shooting the scene, shook the camera up and down-left and right to mimic a babies reaction. IT WAS WEAK. "Funniest Man in America" My @ss. You'll ignore the reviews like i did, but ill listen next time. this is/was a waste of time & money. Oh yea i almost forgot, the show started 45 minutes late. and according to the opening act joke, it was on purpose. Not sure if it was Irresponsible, but it was definitely unprofessional and disrespectful.

SOMEWHAT DISSAPOINTED

Basically, The Plastic Cup Boys as a whole were funnier......Kevin Hart delivered some funny liners and is an excellent storyteller when commenting about his personal life etc. etc......However, there seemed to be something lacking with his material for this particular performance and he was onstage for approximately 45 to 50 minutes....It seemed so short compared to the Plastic Cup Boyz.....But my husband and I still enjoyed ourselves.

WARM UP WAS BETTER

One of the warm up acts was better then Kevin. When did being over the top vulgar become equal to being funny? Watching security argue and remove people with cameras was more entertaining the Kevin. I would not recommend this show to anyone.

IRRESPONSIBLE TOUR

At Viejas SDSU Arena- seating was horrible - KH was on for 45 minutes- extremely disappointed

DISAPPOINTING

Love Kevin Hart, but not this show. Not as funny as he has been in the past. I was expecting more. Saw Chappelle last year, WAY better! Sorry Kevin. I'll give him another try next time.

I attended the Kevin Hart show in Vancouver and I must say that I left disappointed. The plastic cup boyz were quite funny particularly the first act so they are indeed a great addition to his tour. I'd actually pay to see the first act if he came as a solo comedian. Kevin however was not the funniest that I've seen him - at all. I can appreciate that he enjoys speaking about his family however it felt as though it was an hour of the same joke. He briefly addressed his cheating but then went on to material that wasn't very funny. At times my mind wondered and I forgot that I was at a comedy show. As well, there was a claim that it's all new material however there are some recycled bits and pieces. Had the tickets been cheaper I wouldn't have taken issue. In any regard, he's still a good comedian. Not sure if I'd spend money to see him again tho.

TIME FOR NEW MATERIAL

Kevin, you rub shoulders with the stars of today and probably have a lot of stories to tell.. but, instead, you repeat the stories about your kids and wife.. it’s your Schlick, I get it; but, you should change your material..

Every 10 seconds they were reminding us about the cell phone use. HOW EXTRA: before Kevin Hart came on they told us they had already kicked out 75 people for using their cell phones. I can see why they told people to put their cell phones away because if I would’ve seen his show on youtube or even a trailer of it I wouldn’t have paid the money. The show was okay.. The comedians before KH were more funny. I don’t know if it’s a tactic he is using to pump us up, but he was late to the Seattle show as well.. and it seems to be a pattern. Save your money and wait for it to come out on netflix. He isn’t all that.. and it’s pretty shameful he is making money out of telling jokes about cheating on his wife.

HUGE FAN - SO BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

I was at Phillips Arena last night for the ATL show. Firstly, Plastic Cups Boyz did a great job; definitely a wise addition to the tour! BUT... as expected, Tix were not cheap. We paid about $150 per tic, w/TM fees, group of four (Birthday present for my BF). I guess I was expecting Kevin to give us a special, live show that we couldn't get for free or on the Netflix couch (particularly w/all the cellphone hype at the pre- show, so WTF?!)- Unfortunately, NOT the case. Being a huge fan, we have watched all of Kevin's specials and stand up routines so was rather bummed to hear a great deal of old and dated material. Felt like more than 50% of repeat bits. Honestly, it got boring... Without mentioning other greats who know how to do this ... We still love you KH but DAMN - don't tour for this kind of $$ unless you are ready to give your fans FRESH & RAW!! JMHO I didn't think you would do us like that! :=(

VERY DISAPPOINTED

My husband and I attend Kevin Hart concert at PNC in Raleigh NC. Kevin Hart was 2 hours late!!. The show was suppose to start at 7pm. People had to stand outside in line until doors was finally open at 8 pm. Kevin Hart came on stage at 9pm. He apologized and said he would make it up to us. Well he didn't . The show was over one hour later. He wasn't that funny, and at times he was the only one laughing at his own Jokes. I am a big Kevin Hart fan. Love all his movies, so coming to his stand up comedy show was a big deal for us. Not at all impressed and disappointed he didn't at least give a better show especially since he was late arriving.

I accompanied a friend to the opening night of Kevin Hart's Irresponsible Tour at Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore . I knew almost nothing about Kevin Hart, but the ticket prices and the impressive turnout at the venue had me anticipating a pretty good show. I wasn't expecting the best comedian in the world, but I was confident that I was in for alot of good laughs. Not so. Sure, I laughed a few times, but the whole show was based on lowbrow smut. After each comedian I kept thinking that the next one would be better, but that didn't happen. Now, lowbrow smut can be very funny, indeed, but these guys fell short. Even the headlineer, Kevin Hart, only delivered more of the same, only twice as long. I bought the ticket and I was ready to laugh, but mostly I just sat and rolled my eyes. If you are listening, save your money! Don't go to this show!

KEVIN HART TAMPA

I’m glad I didn’t spend more money on these tickets. They started an hour late. After they had already taken everyone’s phones away at the door. The first guy joked around about it, the second was very difficult to follow/understand. Average jokes, not worth the hype. Kevin was funny but I got the vibes of an ‘oppressed rich black dude’ after most of the show was aimed at current political events, his picketing for Black Lives Matter & jokes about his friends in their private planes. Must be a tough life. We left the show early.

KEVIN HEART AMWAY ORLANDO

Brought tickets months ago for my sons and I. First time to see him in person. Have seen numerous Kevin heart shows on TV and interviews and he’s been hilarious until tonight. The beginning acts were twice as funny as him. Maybe it’s better to be great at on thing than half good at many. I was very disappointed and feel I didn’t get my money’s worth. I know he could do better. Thank You

WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

Time on ticket sets 7pm. ZERO ACTIVITY on stage or via speakers for an entire hour. 8pm starts with 1 of 4 opening acts that last 15 mins each. Kevin was on stage from 9pm-10pm. Should have stayed home and waited for his next Netflix special. Absolutely lame experience and I regret buying the tickets. Super disappointed and he wasn’t very funny. Stupid stories and never apologized for being late. F this.

NOT WORTH IT

The show started over an hour late. Opening act were average but I was there for Kevin Hart. His set was less than an hour and he was gone. Not to mention that they place my phone in a secure bag so I could not access it. I have children and was annoyed that I could not respond to my phone if there was an emergency. This is intrusive, to separate me from my property. Just not worth seeing live. I will not spend the money or the time in the future.

SAME EXPERIENCE AT HERTZ ARENA IN FT. MYERS FLORIDA

Thought it was just us, until I read these reviews. Our show started 60 minutes late, phones and watches were locked in bags. The warm up comics laughed about the late start (sadly the late start is used as material for their acts at our expense). People were pissed about the late start and spent the extra time downing drinks and getting irritated. There was a major fight that broke out behind us during the KH set. He stopped the show and made jokes about “old white people fighting”… Guess he didn’t realize the fight happened because a drunk guy punched a drunk woman… Many of us felt unsafe without having the ability to communicate with emergency services… Reading these reviews from the Tampa show makes me realize that our bad experience is actually part of his nation wide tour experience… My suggestion is to save your money and wait for the Netflix show. We’ll never pay for last nights experience again. #kevinhartsuckedathertz2022

Started late, chairs were a joke on floor area, patrolling was ridiculous, started late, bunch of drunk talk on the stage. I didn’t find Kevin funny and one of the guys from the plastic cup cowboys whatever was plain rude and his jokes were frankly pure assault. He has some type of show or a radio show and I am really questioning people who listen to that. We left early. We thought that when Kevin will get on the stage with all that pompous lighting and music the fun and laughter will begin- nope was boring and we just left. Super overpriced for a bunch of dudes complaining about women, plastic surgery, and Los Angeles news. Also the jokes we’re making on an edge of racism and definitely a whole lot of sexism. They probably feel like celebrities and think they are entitled but I doubt they are that tough in real life, I mean common… Drove 2 hours, no parking and left early and I am not 40 as they suggested in the beginning

I saw KH at the Golden 1 center last night. My story is much like others. I absolutely LOVE KH, but the entire night was chaos, unorganized and his stage appearance was approximately 30-45 minutes. The show started late, it seems the Plastic Cup Boys were definitely on stage longer than KH. Once he was on stage, about 10 minutes into his act, he stopped and started "scolding" a guy sitting in the front row, warning him "I have warned you twice, if I have to warn you a third time I am going to start capping on you" then he did....started capping on the guy and camera man put the guy up on the screen (embarrassing for him) As others have said, this was not Kevin Hart at his best. I have seen ALL Kevin Hart specials, movies, etc....and this one just did not meet expectations.......EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

OOOF! BAD VIBES

*This show felt OFF & a bit cringeworthy. I was so pumped to see Kevin for the first time, but can now see the celebrity has gone to his head... 1. Kevin is best on TV - He has a great stage presence live, but treats his audience poorly. Harsh security and no phone policy makes it the perfect breeding ground for attacks to go unreported. 2. Copied Material - Kevin told an awfully similar joke to George Lopez show back in 2018 Wilbur Theater, Boston. That was hugely disappointing. 3. Opening acts were basiccc - I've listened to ALL types of comedy...But when a comedian has no depth and talks about their s3× life for a straight hour it gets OLD and creepy. It wasn't comedy, just kinda gross. 4. Kevin offers you to party with him afterwards & further markets his tequila...So that happens.

Me an my sister paid a lot of money on tickets hotel an train was told r tickets would be at door no we had to wait 45 minutes in a queue when we got in Kevin’s Friends were on for an hour he was on 40 minutes not the 80 we paid for! No refund tho cos we saw the show! I don’t no how he can get away with this I loved kevin it ruined now . If I were u I would not waste your money!

REALITY CHECK 02 ENGLAND

Really disappointed. I chuckled a little but no laugh out loud belly moments. I first watched Kevin hart live in 2016 and I laughed so hard I cried but this was a far cry from that. Show started late and Kevin was not on for very long, which I didn’t mind as was starting to get bored and wanted to be-able to use my phone to tell the kids sitter I would be late. People behind us left early. It also didn’t help that there was an echo the entire perfomance so we could hear everything he said twice The warm up acts weren’t my cup of tea a lot of f**** words being used every other word. His new dad material isn’t funny. Got home and watched one of his previous shows on Netflix so that I could actually have a good laugh. Really disappointed.

VERY DISAPPOINTED, OPENERS WERE BETTER

for reality check your We enjoyed the plastic cub Boyz opening performances better than KH. He basically just told stories but not much joking to them. It was definitely lacking something. Repeated things multiple times, laughed at his own jokes more than the audience did. Just really disappointed. Definitely not worth $250 per ticket

HE'S GREAT, BUT HOLDING MY CELL PHONE PRISONER IS NOT

I don't know when people got so famous and amazing that they decided to start collecting cell phones and wasting extra hours of my life. I'm staying home and watching on TV. Just not fun to go and see big name comics live any more. 2 extra hours of waiting for a show that is not that long!

KEV’S SHOW IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!

I went to the show in New Orleans on 10/18/18 and it was tragic. The entire experience was very bad from the beginning, and I had such high hopes for it to be amazing seeing him in person. The security was over the top, they escorted people out of the building as soon as they walked in, just for texting or having a phone visible. Multiple people did not hear the staff say that there was a “No Phone Use” policy for this event. I was one of the many people that were escorted. Before being escorted, I had watched the opening acts and then I got a text; my phone lit up in between my legs and I looked down. Within seconds, an officer tried to escort me out for cell phone use. It was ridiculous. The opening acts were not funny, I chuckled about twice. I sat there, not amused in the slightest. Stay home, watch his old comedy stand ups, it’s the only time he’d ever be funny, since his funniness is fading away and he’s reusing old material. He’s simply not in his prime anymore.

KEVIN HART WASTE IF MONEY TOUR

First time at a KH show. The cell phone announcements were rediculous. Why is he so worried about his material getting out. I know why, because its recycled and not funny. My gay friend was ejected from the show, despite showing the 15 year ild security cop that his ell phone was in his back pocket and powered off. They threatened to tackle and arrest a 5 foot 4 sweet gay man. We were afraid for him and 600.00 of tickets were wasted. In general everyone in our section said they felt like the military was on duty. My friend is considering taking things to the next level. The 1 st comedian also bragged that at the cleveland show they had “ thrown out “ 200 people. Shoukd be the Thug tour. Never again. Sounds like the teviews agree.

IRRESISTIBLE TOUR

Daughter bought me one ticket from Atlanta for my birthday to see kevin.i got there late I didn't here the instruction of know phones.i own a home care business and I'm on call so I have to answer calls the one night I'm free I get harrassed by security.i explained my situation they told me to sit down or get escorted out.i had great seats thanks to my daughter.i couldn't get in the mood to laugh again not even to see Kevin so I left..I was embarrassed that security made a seem instead of being discreet in front of thousands of people. Plus 50 bucks for parking. Construction around the whole building no signs where to enter which made al types of people late including myself..I will watch Kevin on DVD at least I won't get harrassed. #anurse

THE IRRESPONSIBLE TOUR 9/27/18

I treated my sister the The Kevin Hart Irresponsible Tour.I spend over $100.00 dollars for these seats at MSG. We sat in the 400 rows there was a bar directly above us which obstructed our view, when I asked will the small screens on the side will be turned on they told me no. I went to guess services to complain and was told that Kevin Hart REQUESTED THAT THEY NOT TURNED ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse me??? I spent my hard earned money to come see you and you requested that certain screens not be turned on. I feel like if he had a problem with those sections than they shouldn't have been on sale, they weren't the most expensive tickets but they weren't cheap either. I missed the whole damn show waiting in guess services to hear this, this was an injustice to me and my family and everyone who brought tickets in those sections. I will never waist my money on him again, Kevin you have LOST PAYING FAN!!!!

BORING, NOT FUNNY. AVOID.

The show started out with the Solo Cup Boys and I managed to suffer through the first dude. I guess Kevin is giving some amateur a chance to try comedy out. But there were three of them. Sigh. Let me just say I didn’t find them funny. At all. Best way I can describe it is ghetto humor. If your idea of a good joke is some dude talking about his bitches and paying $1000 for a prostitute so he’s going to come into every hole she has... well, maybe you’ll relate. At one point the “comedian” asked who in the audience had banged a hooker. Crickets. Or boasting about getting 15% on some test. Yeah, stupidity is hilarious. Eventually Kevin showed up and his jokes were predictable. He told the part about Japan and “so exciting” and later while skiing runs into a Japanese kid, and you just know the joke repeats. Or the finger gun prosthetic arm... here comes the cop shooting black guy joke. Predictable, forced, and boring. Avoid. I chuckled maybe three times while I wondered when it would end.

BROKEN HART. OLD MATERIAL

Almost nothing was new. His what now tour was way better. This I had seen almost all of on older netflix specials. VERY dissapoointed. Even 3rd of the 3 plastic cup boys repeated old material.

DIDN’T LAUGH ONCE.

By definition, warm up acts should get you going, and if we weren’t waiting for KH, we would have gone. Sadly, KH was no funnier than the warm ups. Dreadful dull show, despite being a KH fan. Please do not come back to Hamilton, if thats all you got. Definitely fell short of our expectations :( And the incessant ‘cell phone use will get you ejected from the venue’ propaganda was presumably so no one could upload how bad this show was on social media.

KEVIN HART CHARLOTTE

Man I was really looking forward to this show. I am a Kevin Hart fan and I think that he's a funny guy. His shoe last night was very disappointing. The show started an hour and a half late and the plastic cup boys were ok When Kevin came out the arena was full of energy and excitement. Kevin apologized for the late start and promised to make up for the lateness by giving us one hell of a show. Well I hate to say it but I am still waiting for Kevin to make up for the late start because he did not give us one hell of a show as promised. Kevin is great in movies, tv shows, and commercials but his stand-up game last night waa weak. Don't get me wrong I am still a Kevin Hart fan and I will buy tickets to see him in movies but I'm going to take a pass on his live standup.

SHOW WAS 2 HOURS LATE

Bought 7:00 show tickets to watch introduction stand ups for a few hours , had a 11:30 flight I had to leave for. Kevin walked out on stage at 9:00 pm I had to leave at 9:35pm. I over paid for my tickets and had to watch people get kicked out left and right for using their phones, constant distraction for the short 30 min I got to see of the show.

NOT EVEN A LITTLE FUNNY

Went to Tampa to visit my brother and he got tickets to see Kevin Hart. My brother laughed hysterically, but I didn’t get it. If screaming the F-bomb every other word is funny, I’m not getting it. God Bless him for making hundreds of millions of dollars being a pathological cusser, but I just don’t think he’s funny.

SO DISRESPECTFUL TO HIS FANS

Started the Dallas show 45 Minutes late after basically confiscating 50 thousand fan cell phones and digital watches. He then sent out his hype man to make fun of all of it. Waste of time and money

KEVIN HART WASHINGTON DC

Show started late it was supposed to start at 7pm didn’t start until 8:15 pm unprofessional and unacceptable. They took everyone phones locked up as if we was going to see an amazing shot NOT didn’t happen not funny tickets overpriced. He had 3 guys go on before him talking about stupid stuff. He came on and wasn’t funny at all he laughed at his jokes more than the crowd. Then he performed less than a damm hour. He is not funny don’t waste your money at all. Buyer beware he made a ton of money off people and a bad show.

WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY

Show started 40 minutes late. 1st "comedian" came out and his monologue was centered around how lat the show started...1st clue they didn't give a crap about the money I spend or the time I allotted for this sh*it show. 2nd comedian didn't say anything funny and was not understandable. Not funny Used the N word countless times. Made me wonder why Morgan Wallen was crucified for using the N word playing basketball with his buddies under the expectation of reasonable privacy. I paid for 4 tickets...we all walked out before the main event. Total lack of respect for his audience, how much money was spent for tickets. Kevin has missed the mark building his brand. Insulting, not funny and a waste of my time and money.

ORLANDO SHOW 16 SEPTEMBER- REALITY CHECK

We paid $532 for two tickets. As mentioned by other reviews he seems to be late for every show. The show was supose to start at 7 but instead starred at 8. The 3 comedians before Kevin were not funny... Kevin's act was too short and basically just recycled jokes from other shows. He is the one that needs a reality check. My whole entire group was extremely disappointed I don't understand how people don't feel robbed after paying over $500 for 2 tickets. The whole show had 2 good jokes. Same joke about his father and queso. If you go see the show I wouldn't pay more than $50 it's just not worth it. Never again..

KEVIN HART AT UNITED CENTER

Worst show ever, if he thinks he is so great, we all had to lock our cell phones up! REALLY! - no lights in the place, couldn't see your seats, no lighting on the stairs, and per the United Center they said the comedian requested all this! so disappointed, way to much money and the show was terrible! the 3 comedians before him all had the same jokes!!!!!

DISAPPOINTMENT

Very disappointed. Started Late and Kevin only came on for 45 mins. Screens very small. I couldn't imagine ppl spent $260 on a ticket . Disrespectful to fans who drive 2 hrs, got a baby sitter ,gas, parking and expensive tickets . Very very disappointed

WORST SHOW EVER!

Kevin Hart is getting way too greedy! First of all the tickets were $100 per person to sit in the very back of the fieldhouse. Once we entered the building our cell phones were locked up and I was told that I wasn't allowed to bring my CLEAR Colts purse in with me. After having to check my bag at a hotel and dealing with ridiculous security that is worse than the airport, we ended up getting sat 45 minutes late. As soon as we got in we ordered two drinks that were $25 a piece. Once we went to look for our seats the rows weren't lit up and we couldn't see to find our seats. It took us an additional 20 minutes to get to the correct seats. By the time I sat down I was furious! Not to mention the show wasn't that funny! After the show ended it took an additional two hours to wait in the line to get our cell phones unlocked and clear purse back. I will never go to another one of his shows or even go back to Gainbridge Field House. This was by far my worst experience ever!

Let me add besides being treated like we were in a prison upon entering... we didn't even stay to see KH Spent $300 plus gas and drinks Drove 2 hours to get to show and 2 hours back home KH was late I feel asleep after first comedian (no I am not 50 plus 4) Woke up for second comedian and left the show at that point Figured KH would be on for prob 40 minutes And after seeing what his "per KEVIN HART REQUESTS" were for show rules and regulations we decided it best we get on up outta there. I can almost bet that we made the right choice I seen Katt Williams last month and laughed the first ten minutes for half the price and better seats. Grant it, KH sold out this huge stadium in INDY and thats awesome for him. He has become a true Hollywood businessman

KEVIN HART - ROGERS ARENA VANCOUVER

Terrible show - low brow - boring and just not funny. Absolute waste of time and money. Would not recommend to anyone looking for laughter and a memorable experience.

KEVIN HART REALITY CHECK – HORRIBLE SHOW

Kevin Hart show reality check in Las Vegas was horrible. He was so corny, not funny at all. I saw him a few years ago in North Carolina and he was funny then. But his jokes in Las Vegas or so dry. And of course he had to poke fun of the LGBTQ plus and transgender community. I think it’s distasteful. I was bored and halfway throughout the show and literally zoned out ready for it to be over.

Echo the other reviews. Started late as source material for really terrible comics. Kevin. Only performed for 45 min and it was literal poop jokes and other weak comedy. Just wasn’t in the mood by the time he took stage.

WORST COMEDY SHOW I'VE SEEN

I don't know where to begin. We saw the "reality check" in O2 arena in London on 28th April. What a disaster! The show started late and the three guys "warming up" the crowd had a longer show than Kevin Hart. Their jokes were lame, all dirty humor and 0 intelect. Felt like I was on a show for 5 year olds for whom every sentence with a d&ck in it is hilarious. Finally Kevin started his show after we were already tired from sitting TWO HOURS on thos goddamn chairs. Kevin's act was mediocre at best. 3 good jokes in all but the whole show was so bad that we weren't in the mood to laugh anymore. What a disaster. I liked Kevin's comedy before seeing this live. Now I understand why it said "no refunds" on the entrance.

A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

I love Kevin Hart. So much that I spent $950 for my husband and I to see him. They put our phones in pouches and warned us that if a phone was used the person would be ejected. Show starts at 9:30pm. 9 women pile into the row in front of us. Pull out their phones and start social media and texting, talking Loudly. Kevin comes on, these women are talking. The people in my row are clearly irritated. Got security. They took one girl with a phone and left the others. Now these women have turned around threatened to bite me, cursed at my 72 year old husband and many of the other fans in our row. One says they can't do shit, we are family. Security came several times.. They did nothing. After the show 20 plus fans gather at customer service to complain. We are told they couldn't tell the women to stop threatening fans, to put their phones away or stop talking and ruining the show for fans because they were part of Kevin's Camp. Disgusting behavior and unprofessional management.

REALITY TOUR VEGAS

Quite disappointed . KH was not funny. Appeared like he just filled his obligation to be there. My wife paid over $500 as a birthday gift with a weekend in Vegas. KH' s crew were more funny. It wasn't the material he spoke on it was the lack of material, no real punchlines. And then suddenly it ended. Lackluster to say the least. C'mon man you can do better.im glad they bagged the phones I wouldn't have wanted to record any of it!

NOT WORTH 300 DOLLARS

Kevin hart could was on stage for 25 minutes. Complete waste of money . Never again.

THEATER SOUND RUINED EXPERIENCE

I wish I could rate Kevin, but I couldn’t make out 80-90% of what he said. Our seats were in the back, but the theater is not that big, so it shouldn’t have been a big deal. I’m sure they failed to turn on the speaker in the back, so I couldn’t hear most of it! Really, really disappointing. Wasted our money, for sure!

Kevin Hart returns to UK to amplify the outrageous in Reality Check tour

The controversial standup brings big cartoonish energy to his first tour since 2018, delivering a set of self-mockery and dismay at bizarre behaviour

K evin Hart is back in the UK on his first tour since Irresponsible (2018) which, with zillions of tickets sold, is in the mix whenever anyone tots up the biggest comedy tours of all time. Away from jokes at a microphone, this is a career measured in dollars, opening weekends (Hart, with a handful of Jumanji movies under his belt, is also a Hollywood star) – and public controversies. The last of them saw North African gigs cancelled earlier this year after the 43-year-old suggested that ancient Egyptians were black.

All of which prompts the question: does the Philadelphia man still have what it takes to entertain a comedy crowd? On the basis of the last Kevin Hart show I saw, a lockdown-era special Zero F**ks Given , one might begin to doubt it. But Reality Check finds Hart on strong form. The former, filmed in his living room, found Hart still wrestling with fallout from the 2018 row, over historic homophobic tweets, that saw him step down from his role as Oscars host . The new show strikes a better balance between self-reflection, self-assurance and big-hitting laughs.

Like Zero F**ks, it starts with a content warning (“buckle up, bitch!”) on which it doesn’t remotely deliver. Hype aside, this isn’t a show that will frighten the horses or, for the most part, the sensitivities of today’s trigger-unhappy audiences. The opening routine may threaten it, as Hart riffs on the idea that nowadays, “everyone wants change”. But his examples are mild: plastic surgery, LeBron James’ hair transplant, and – funniest of all – an operation Hart’s been told about that might increase his diminutive stature. (In the words of his friend: “they givin’ out height!”)

This latter idea is spun into a choice cartoon of dismayed and self-mocking comedy, in the service (just about) of Hart’s idea that we need to “stop entertaining the crazy”. And so instances are wheeled out of modern behaviour that (he thinks) we ought to be keeping in check: a man inserting his penis into breakfasts at Denny’s; a woman protesting assault in the metaverse. There’s a wild-eyed routine about Hart’s brother and his imaginary pet dog, and much fun burlesquing that other notorious recent Oscars wipeout, Will Smith and “ the slap ”.

You might argue that this material – outrageous real-world behaviour on which Hart merely reports back – is doing the comic’s work for him. But it plays to his considerable strengths as a performer, as he enacts one scene after another, laughing along with us, amplifying the outrage with eye-popping expressivity. The best example might be the last, as Hart relates a viral video about a woman throwing her faeces at a barista. Easy-meat material it may be, but Hart’s placing of himself inside the scenario, slowly realising what substance has just smacked him square on the temple, is a mini-masterpiece of acting out and comic timing.

The comic temperature falls a little in the final third, with Hart’s more straightforwardly autobiographical material. Now in his 40s, “I’m spending more time with myself,” he tells us, and has less patience with things he tolerated when young. His friends’ delinquent behaviour, for example – cue a routine about taking weed on a flight to Mexico, distinguished by Hart’s intense caricature of a Spanish-speaking narcotics agent. Like a later section, on his role as a reluctant Black Lives Matter activist, the presiding joke here is Hart’s cowardice. Another gag, about his aversion to “unattractive people”, likewise pivots to self-mockery before its meanness starts to rankle.

A level of craft is at play, then, that I felt was missing from Zero F**ks Given, whose jokes didn’t always feel as adroitly judged. Undeniably, too, this is a comic whose standout skills – all those cartoonish act-outs and hyperbolic overreactions to modern living – come into their own in dialogue with a loud and lively crowd. Perhaps locked-down in a living room was never going to cut it – but back in arenas, Kevin Hart is on song.

Kevin Hart is touring the UK until 29 April

• Kevin Hart: Reality Check

John Mulaney Teams With Netflix To Launch Six-Episode Live Special ‘Everybody’s In L.A.’

‘the drew barrymore show’: dwayne “the rock” johnson roasts kevin hart’s “wildly small” butt, stream it or skip it: ‘lift’ on netflix, a kevin hart action-comedy aimed at an international streaming audience, ‘lift’ filming locations: kevin hart traveled to italy, ireland and more for his netflix movie.

For his eighth stand-up special, and first in three years, Kevin Hart headed to Las Vegas to film at Resort World, and the comedian also goes all-in on Peacock , leaving Netflix behind for whatever jackpot NBCUniversal offered him. Will he keep his cards close to his vest, so to speak, or will he show us what kind of hand life is dealing for him now?

KEVIN HART: REALITY CHECK : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

The Gist: Kevin Hart jumped from Comedy Central to concert films to arenas and stadiums, before the pandemic brought him much closer to home (making his 2020 Netflix special appear as though he filmed it in his actual living room). But now that he’s back out on the road, Hart wants to let us in on how he feels about plastic surgery, his late dad’s penchant for mean nicknames, and how he’s neither as good of a friend or as good of an activist as he’d like to think he is.

What Comedy Specials Will It Remind You Of?:  Both Kevin Hart and Tom Segura have specials out this week where they stop not only to mention their dads had died, but also to celebrate their fathers. Albeit in drastically different ways.

Memorable Jokes: Have you ever looked at an ant up close and thought: Brazilian Butt Lift? You will now, after watching Hart describe some of the absurd lengths people are going to to nowadays to get plastic surgery. The comedian may poke fun at LeBron James for his receding hairline, but Hart saves the best jokes to mock himself, acting out how foolish he’d look if he took people’s suggestions to undergo surgery to make himself taller.

Hart has mined his father’s behavior for comedy gold in previous specials, and now that his dad has died (apparently from COPD), the comedian pays tribute to him one last time by remembering some of the great yet mean-spirited nicknames his dad gave to some of their relatives.

The second half of the hour is devoted to the comedian providing himself with the titular reality checks.

He worries about passing down bad habits to his sons. His ego feels deflated when his wife compares him to Gollum; even more so when he sees some the fan art that’s sent his way (and which he displays on the giant screens). At 43, he no longer can drink like he used to, and yet, even if he blacks out, he claims his friends will “Weekend at Bernie’s” him to various nightclubs. Why? “They need my face to get into places.”

It’s not all about him, tho.

Instead of divulging exactly what went awry when his friends pulled him away from going LIVE on social media, Hart decides to recount for us a viral video about gross encounter of the poop-throwing kind at a coffee shop, and then imagine being an innocent bystander caught in the shitstorm at 7 in the morning.

But the more colorful and electric stories do involve Hart getting in over his head, whether it’s on a vacation with his friends that might get busted due to drugs, or whether it’s his wanting to join a celebrity-filled Black Lives Matter protest at the memorial for George Floyd.

Our Take: Kev puts a lot of thought into the flow of his sets.

That said, the timing for some of these bits already somehow feel outdated. Walking onstage with a baseball bat to threaten any fans who might want to bound onstage (was that Dave Chappelle incident at the Hollywood Bowl only 14 months ago?!?) or sharing his take on Will Smith’s Oscars outburst. Or even a joke about the metaverse, which is that even a thing, still?

Hart jokes that we live in crazy times, and it certainly feels crazy to think of how fast the cultural conversation keeps shifting, that some of these premises can somehow go stale so soon.

But that’s not his fault, necessarily. They were fine enough when he delivered the jokes to that audience.

What saves Hart and always has is his affability, and his proclivity for putting himself into situations where he has to squirm and hope to talk his way out of them. It doesn’t take much to picture him with his Plastic Cup Boyz caught up with foreign law enforcement, and imagine how Hart might try to separate himself from the pack. Or when he describes himself feeling out of place with other celebrities at the George Floyd memorial, somehow at a loss for words, but still managing to say a lot anyhow.

After all, those are the kinds of qualities and situations that have made him a movie star.

Our Call: STREAM IT. It’s not my favorite Hart special, but not my least favorite, either. It’ll certainly give a lot of people a new reason to check out Peacock.

Arts | ct house fire that left two dead, one seriously injured ‘criminal in nature,’ police say, arts | comedian kevin hart coming to mohegan sun for his fourth ct show and venue since 2023.

Kevin Hart will be returning to Connecticut on his new “Acting My Age” tour with a show on July 19 at 8 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena .

Tickets went on sale starting Wednesday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster and, if there are any left, will be available starting Saturday at the Mohegan Sun box office.

The promoters insist that “anyone seen using a device (phone, smartwatch or accessories) during the performance will be escorted out of the venue.”

Many comedians ask audience members not to use devices during their performances, especially when they are developing new material. Yondr pouches have been used at Hart’s shows for years.

Now 44 years old, Kevin Hart has appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows, had hit records and won numerous awards. His most recent comedy special was “Reality Check” in 2023, and his TV parody series “Die Hart” was renewed last year for a third season. He began his career as a stand-up comedian and still tours incessantly.

The “Acting My Age” tour, announced Tuesday, will last will nearly nine months. It begins Sunday in Wisconsin and ends on Dec. 4 in Pennsylvania. Some of the dates on the tour have already sold out.

All the Things I Learned Watching SmartLess: On the Road

The immensely popular celebrity podcast SmartLess — a chitchat pseudo-interview show hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett — was recently released in tour docuseries form. The Max series is six episodes of onstage podcast-taping footage and behind-the-scenes tour banter; because there’s no plot or real source of tension, it’s mostly six episodes spent learning small things about Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. An illuminating version of this might include conversations about public versus private selves, or perhaps the desire for attention and the cost of that desire. It might be a portrait of the humanity underneath fame’s dehumanizing pressures. But SmartLess is most interested in a different angle of inquiry: salads. What’s in them? And do they have any on this private jet?

1. Private air travel comes with inconveniences.

Lots of things can go wrong on a private plane! The first episode contains a lengthy scene where a small internal door on the plane does not fully shut, and Will Arnett has to call the pilot for assistance. I know, I could not believe it either. But quite a bit of SmartLess takes place on this private jet, so the realities of that setting become ever more clear with each new tour stop. Not all of the seats recline! My god.

2. Jason Bateman talks about food all the time (not in a fun way).

SmartLess is mostly a document of Jason Bateman obsessing about what he will and will not eat, what other people are eating, how much they’re eating, why some foods should not be eaten, and the frustration of hotels that do not have “entrée-level salads” on their room-service menus. By episode five, Will Arnett brings up how intense it is to be around someone who’s constantly talking about what’s not okay to eat. Like much of SmartLess , though, this quickly becomes a laugh line, because the default mode of interaction is Will Arnett and Jason Bateman sniping at one another for funsies.

This part of being a celebrity does seem like it honestly sucks a lot! Obsessive focus on food is certainly not a celeb-specific phenomenon, but this is a docuseries aiming for “relaxed hangout celebrity tour vibes.” Because so much time is devoted to Bateman’s food obsession, though, it (unintentionally?) lands closer to “the anxiety of being perceived as imperfect, which began in childhood, has completely warped this man’s sense of self-worth and as a result he cannot stop thinking about his own health and physical appearance. His friends play along, to their occasional distress.”

3. SmartLess fans demand celebrity guests.

The primary drama of the six episodes comes from one bad Boston show, where Jason Bateman’s guest is physicist Max Tegmark. There is very little footage of this bad show, but much discussion afterward about unruly Twitter discourse and unhappy fans. The series never depicts the exact complaints, although it suggests fans were furious to be sitting through a chill conversation about cosmology and machine-learning rather than listening to Mark Cuban’s description of where he was when he learned he was a billionaire. But fear not, the crisis is swiftly addressed, and for the rest of the tour, the guest lineup is familiar names only: Matt Damon, David Letterman, Andy Richter, Kevin Hart. Also a woman! (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, although halfway through her episode, Bradley Cooper also shows up.)

4. Sean Hayes can play “Rhapsody in Blue” on the piano, from memory.

It’s impressive.

5. Jason Bateman showers after pooping, Sean Hayes pees sitting down, Will Arnett used to have a job where he planted 3,000 trees a day.

I would like to know more about the trees.

6. Sometimes, very occasionally, they have legitimately compelling conversations.

After three episodes filled with Jason Bateman insulting his friends about their food orders, the trio’s observations about how nice their hotel suites are, footage of them working out in hotel gyms, and more scenes about Jason Bateman needing Gas-X because he ate a lot of kale, episode four has a scene that appears basically out of nowhere. Back on the private plane (of course) after shows in Boston and New York, the three podcast hosts have a very illuminating, sincere conversation about their childhoods: how they were raised, how they got into entertainment, what values they did and did not learn from their parents. Bateman talks about the immense pressure of needing to get good grades so he could continue to get certified for work on Little House on the Prairie , which was his family’s main source of income. Hayes describes not always having enough food to eat as a kid. If the rest of the show were like this, it might be worth watching. But then it goes back to menu ordering and superficial interviews with the podcast’s celebrity guests.

7. Will Arnett sees his kids more than once while on tour, calls them all the time, and in one episode, wakes up early to spend time with his toddler. Hayes and Bateman are very impressed with his parenting skills.

Will Arnett appears to enjoy spending time with his sons!

8. Maybe it’s not okay for two of the three podcast hosts to wear white-soled tennis shoes onstage at the same time?

What if both Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman are wearing black shoes with white soles? Is that too much? Or maybe it’s fine? This issue is brought up, freaked out over, and never addressed again. What happened! What was the decision! But this is  SmartLess ’s way. It presents these quandaries and then leaves us rudderless and uncertain, and maybe a little less smart.

Kevin Hart: Reality Check Reviews

It’ll certainly give a lot of people a new reason to check out Peacock.

Full Review | Jul 6, 2023

Comedian Kevin Hart will play The Met in December to close out latest tour

Short kings, rise up: Kevin Hart is coming back to Philly in December to close out his upcoming tour.

The 5-foot-2 comedian and Philadelphia native is coming home for a show at The Met on Dec. 4. It’s the final stop on his forthcoming “Acting My Age” tour, which kicks off in June with shows in Westbury, N.Y., and at New Jersey’s Prudential Center.

Tickets for Hart’s tour will be available on his website . Presale begins Wednesday at 10 a.m., and general sales will follow on Friday, also at 10 a.m.

Hart, 44, grew up in North Philly, attended George Washington High School in Bustleton and the Community College of Philadelphia before going all in on comedy. He, of course, takes his Philly bonafides very seriously.

During the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII Lombardi Trophy celebration, a drunk Hart tried to barrel his way onstage to celebrate with the team. And in less debaucherous actions, Hart’s 2021 Netflix thriller True Story is loosely based off what returning to Philly used to feel like after he struck gold with his now-iconic comedy special Laugh at My Pain .

The 2024 Mark Twain Prize honoree (comedy’s version of a lifetime achievement award) last toured in Philly in 2022, when he came to the Wells Fargo Center during his “Reality Check” tour. Hart is used to commanding large arenas — his 2016 tour stop at Lincoln Financial Field made him the first comedian to sell out an NFL stadium in Philly — so consider his show at The Met more intimate.

“This hour is about connecting with the audience and feeding off the crowd’s energy and laughter,” Hart said in a statement.
