  Emmy- and Grammy-nominated Kevin Hart was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he launched his career as a comedian during an amateur night at a local comedy club. Over the years, Hart has become Hollywood’s box office powerhouse, opening 11 films at No. 1 at the box office and grossing more than $4.23 billion in global revenue. This year, Hart received the Kennedy Center’s annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. He was the 25th recipient and is the youngest honoree to date.

  Hart has also become a successful entrepreneur. He is chairman of Hartbeat, a global, multiplatform media company creating entertainment at the intersection of comedy and culture with a mission to keep the world laughing together. The next-generation media company unites Hartbeat Productions’ best-in-class TV and film production capabilities with Laugh Out Loud’s expansive distribution network, along with its marketing, sales, experiential, branded content, digital and social capabilities. Hart is also the founder of HartBeat Ventures. Together, these companies play an integral role in building Hart’s ecosystem for extraordinary growth and creativity.

  Hart continues to develop, star in and produce feature films, television shows and podcasts via Hartbeat for his various partners, which include Netflix, Peacock, Sirius XM and Audible. Hart is starring in and executive producing Peacock drama series Fight Night.

  Hart is currently touring nationally with his ninth standup special, Acting My Age. Hart’s previous special, Reality Check, was named the No. 1 comedy tour of 2022 by Billboard. In 2023, Billboard named Hart the highest-grossing comedian of the year. In 2020, he released his seventh hour-long standup special, Zero Fu**ks Given, which quickly became Netflix's biggest standup special of 2020 and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album.

  Hart earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for Die Hart and Die Hart 2: Die Harter. His docuseries, Don’t F**k This Up, was also nominated for an Emmy.

  Hart has twice made The New York Times’ bestseller list, and his first Audible original, The Decision, in 2021 was nominated for an Audie award for Best Original Audiobook.
