About Kevin Hart
Kevin Darnell Hart (born July 6, 1979) is an American comedian and actor. After winning several stand-up comedy competitions, Hart had his first breakthrough when Judd Apatow cast him in a recurring role on the TV series Undeclared (2001). Hart's comedic reputation continued to grow with the release of his first stand-up album I'm a Grown Little Man (2009). He has since released four more comedy albums: Seriously Funny (2010), Laugh at My Pain (2011), Let Me Explain (2013), and What Now? (2016). He has received numerous accolades including the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2024, and in 2015 Time magazine named him on its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
As an actor, Hart has had roles in films such as Paper Soldiers (2002), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Soul Plane (2004), Little Fockers (2010), Think Like a Man (2012), Ride Along (2014), Get Hard (2015), Central Intelligence (2016), the Jumanji film franchise (2017-present), and Night School (2018). He also created and starred as a fictionalized version of himself in Real Husbands of Hollywood (2013-2016). In 2017, he launched the Laugh Out Loud Network, a subscription video streaming service in partnership with Lionsgate.
Kevin Darnell Hart was born in Philadelphia on July 6, 1979, and was raised in a single-parent household by his mother. As a teenager, Hart had aspirations of becoming a basketball player and was a participant at the La Salle basketball camp with future NBA hall of famer Kobe Bryant. After graduating from George Washington High School, Hart briefly attended the Community College of Philadelphia before dropping out and moving to New York City. Hart's first stand-up performance took place at The Laff House in his native Philadelphia under the name of Lil Kev, which did not go well, and he was booed offstage several times. His comedy tours began in 2009 with I'm a Grown Little Man, followed by Seriously Funny (2010), Laugh at My Pain (2011), and Let Me Explain (2013). On April 9, 2015, he embarked on a comedy world tour titled the What Now? Tour, which was filmed live on August 30, 2015, in front of 53,000 people at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field.
