Kevin Hart just wrapped up his nationwide "Laugh at My Pain" tour. He was the number one comedian on Ticketmaster and in February 2011 Hart sold out the Nokia Theater two nights in a row to break a record previously set by Eddie Murphy.

Hart's DVD Seriously Funny is one of the fastest selling DVDs in recent years and has gone four times platinum. His Comedy Central special of the same name was the highest rated comedy special of 2010.

In 2009, Hart's one-hour comedy special I'm a Grown Little Man on Comedy Central was also one of the highest rated specials for the network. Hart was the host of BET's classic stand-up comedy seriesComic View: One Mic Stand. Hart's other television credits include ABC's The Big House, which he also executive produced and wrote, and recurring roles on Love, Inc, Barbershop, and Undeclared.

Hart debuted on amateur night at a Philadelphia Comedy Club and was instantly hooked. He quit his job as a shoe salesman and 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. However, it was his first appearance at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival that led to work in such feature films as Paper Soldiers, Scary Movie 3, and Along Came Polly opposite Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. With his passion for stand-up, Hart continues to tour the country to sold-out audiences.
