This is not a joke – Kevin Hart is bringing the laughs back to Australia this September. Whether you know him from his Hollywood days in blockbusters like Get Hard, Central Intelligence, Ride Along and Jumanji, or his hugely successful stand-up comedy career, Hart is a face and name recognised around the world. It’s been a hot minute since the Emmy- and Grammy-nominated legend last performed in Oz with his stand-up special Reality Check, which Billboard named the number one Comedy Tour of 2022 and saw him become the highest-grossing comedian the year after.

Now, after a hugely popular run in the US and Europe, Hart is bringing his ninth stand-up special Acting My Age to Aussie shores this September – with arena shows locked in for Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. But this tour is all about the laughs, not the livestreams. Hart’s banned phones from his shows, meaning you’ll need to lock any devices (phones, smartwatches and accessories) in a Yondr pouch before entering the venue or risk getting kicked out. Here’s everything you need to know about scoring tickets to Kevin Hart’s Australian tour.

The American blockbuster funnyman is bringing his Acting My Age tour to three Aussie cities, including:

  • Perth’s RAC Arena – Tuesday, September 23

  • Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena – Friday, September 26
