Kevin Hart [10] -- the manic, hyperactive comedian who graduated from hilarious bit player [11] in Judd Apatow films to become a Hollywood-ready leading man [12] -- will perform at Goldstein Auditorium on Nov. 2, University Union announced tonight [13].
Hart's appearance on campus will be split into two events. The first, an advance screening of his new film, The Wedding Ringer [14], will take place in the HBC Gifford Auditorium at 2 p.m. After the film, Hart and costar Josh Gad will sit for a Q-and-A session with the audience. The screening is free but requires a ticket for entry.
The second event, set to take place at 7 p.m., is a proper stand-up set in Goldstein. Tickets for the performance are $10 and go on sale tomorrow at the Schine box office to all SU and ESF students. UU tweeted tonight [15] that there will be a two-ticket limit per person for the comedy performance.
A native of Philadelphia, Hart hopped around comedy clubs in the early 2000s before landing small but notable roles in films like Scary Movie 3 [16] and The 40-Year-Old Virgin [17]. This year, Hart has seen large-scale success at cinemas and on television, with a starring role on BET's Real Husbands of Hollywood [18]. The Wedding Ringer is set to be released in theaters in January.
