Going back to you, you mention a particular point in time when a mentor said to you, “You’re funny, but you’re not saying anything.” Can you speak a bit on how that changed your writing? Is that when you began to pull from a more vulnerable place in terms of your comedy? Those people definitely didn’t deserve that. You know what, that might be the worst right there.
Speaking of laughing at others’ pain, what’s the most fucked up thing you’ve chuckled at recently-aside from those civilians walking into your fart? And regardless of what other people may say, you’ll hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.” Some of the stuff is painful, some of it is dark, but you know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna celebrate it by laughing at it.
Like, “Hey, these are problems I’ve had in my life. Well, it’s asking people to laugh at you and with you. The title of your upcoming release, Laugh At My Pain, feels like a bit of a nod to schadenfreude. For one person to have that kind of power over a room…that was amazing to me. Everybody! They all knew that a laugh was coming, and it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop when he was talking. His ability to capture a room’s attention. What about Eddie most sparked your desire to make people laugh for a living? You felt like you could be around this guy every day and laugh. You know, it was him being in the moment, and him laughing and being himself. Like when you could see that he was just coming up with things off the top of his head, like a lady who wanted to take a picture and Eddie taking the camera from her and snapping a picture of his dick. Constitution Hall! My favorite part was when Eddie would run up and just kind of riff. Was there any one show or routine in particular that really resonated with you? You also speak in the beginning about being 15 and completely inspired by Eddie Murphy taking the stage in his leather. It makes me happy and it’s what I live for. I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. How do they do that?” But for me, I’m an entertainer. I can see how someone from the outside looking in might be like, “Wow, that’s crazy. It’s hard for me to agree with that because I’m coming from a place where I think it’s the best thing on earth. Kevin Hart: Well, you’re talking to someone who’s in love with the craft. With the record-breaking show (the dude’s even managed to outsell Eddie Murphy) only a few days from its silver screen premiere, Complex chatted with Hart about the life, the ladies, and spinning tragedy into comic gold.Ĭomplex: Performers often say that stand-up is pretty much the most intimidating thing one can attempt.
In the event you were too cash-strapped to catch him live, Hartbeat Productions and CODEBLACK Entertainment have decided to do you a service by bringing his $15-plus million-earning act to the big screens this Friday. While some might recognize him from flicks like Little Fockers and Death at a Funeral, and others from memorable cameos in celebrity friends’ music videos, the majority have been laughing their asses off at the guy’s side-splitting stand-up on Comedy Central, BET, and most notably, his recent mega-grossing comedy tour, Laugh At My Pain. After much pain and perseverance, he’s risen through the ranks to become one of the most successful comedians in the game. Funnyman Kevin Hart has come a long way from his days hawking sneakers at the local City Sports chain in Philly.
