Kevin Hart breaks ticketing record

Kevin Hart’s ‘Irresponsible’ tour has become the highest selling comedy tour of all time, as well as one of the most successful schedules of any kind on the road right now.

The American comedian and actor, who recently starred in the blockbuster remake of Jumanji, is the first US comedian to sell one million tickets in less than six months.

The international tour,  promoted by Live Nation, has sold out every single show to date, which has led him to add more than 100 cities to accommodate the demand. 

Hart said, according to IQ Mag: “I’m excited to hit this number, bringing me one step closer to the goal of making the world laugh.

“The response to my tour has been unbelievable, and I’m honoured to have sold one million tickets…so far!”

His most recent previous “What Now?” tour became the highest grossing comedy tour ever, selling more than 600,000 tickets and making $35m in less than one month.

Hart will take his tour to four continents with headline venues including London’s O2 and Paris’ Olympia, as well as Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.
