Event Description
The hilarious Kevin Hart exploded onto the scene as one of the most versatile comedic actors in both television and on the big screen. Hart sees the humor in everyday life experiences, and makes his audiences take a hard look at the things everyone thinks, but are too afraid to say! Although Hart can be irreverent, raw, and somewhat brass, he captivates his audiences with an innocent sensitivity that pulls at the heart strings while leaving them rolling in the aisles.
In the summer of 2012, fans across America witnessed Hart in his worldwide comedy tour Let Me Explain, in which Hart traveled to nearly 100 cities across the United States, Europe, and Africa.
Hart’s Laugh At My Pain comedy tour pegged him as Ticketmaster’s #1 comedian in February 2011, selling out the Nokia Theater for two nights and breaking the record previously set by Eddie Murphy. The feature film version of this tour, also titled Laugh At My Pain, grossed nearly $8 million at the box office—making it one of the top 10 independent films of 2011.
Laugh-out-loud funny across televsion and film, Hart is known for his roles in films such as Think Like a Man, Little Fockers, Death at a Funeral, Along Came Polly, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and many more. Hart's one-hour comedy special, I'm a Grown Little Man, became one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated specials. In addition, Hart was the host of BET's stand-up comedy series Comic View: One Mic Stand, and has had a multitude of other television appearances, including ABC's The Big House (for which he was also a writer and executive producer), recurring roles on Love, Inc., Barbershop, and Undeclared. Recently, Hart has been featured on news and top-rated programs like Live with Kelly, The Wendy Williams Show, OWN’s The Rosie Show, Sirius’ The Foxxhole, and more.
Performing on a whim at a Philadelphia comedy club, Hart was instantly hooked, and quit his job as a shoe salesman. Not long after, he began performing full time at such clubs as The Boston Comedy Club, Caroline's, Stand-Up NY, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Hart currently lives in Los Angeles with his family and continues to tour the country to sold-out crowds.
This performance is recommended for mature audiences only, and tickets are only available to IUB students and members of the IU community. An IU-issued email address or valid Indiana University ID is required to purchase.
