Kevin Hart is set to get up close and personal with fans in Charlotte for his ninth comedy tour, "Acting My Age," a move that aims to change the pace from his previously grand-scale events. According to QC News, Hart's performance is scheduled for January 17, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. at Ovens Auditorium, and he will later take the stage at the Durham Performing Arts Center on February 15.
Revealing more about the intent behind this tour, Hart expressed a desire to create a more dynamic and engaging experience, saying "‘Acting my Age’ is my ninth tour and I wanted to change things up by creating a more intimate environment," as WBTV conveyed.
Following a trend of comedians incorporating phone bans into their shows, this tour follows suit with a strict no-phone policy; attendees will be required to stow away their gadgets in Yondr pouches to keep the focus on the live experience, which means, as Ticketmaster points out, no sneaky texting or unexpected rings to ruin the punchlines.
The "Acting My Age" tour marks a shift from Kevin Hart's previous performances, which have seen immense audience sizes like the 53,000-seat sell-out at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Stadium; now he's opting for smaller, more intimate venues to foster a different kind of audience connection, a point made clear by a Live Nation press release cited by QCity Metro. Hart's return to Charlotte is notable since his last tour there was in September 2022 with "Reality Check," though he did visit in 2023 to film a TV show.
Fans can now get tickets for the show, which features personal interactions and a no-phone rule. Anyone caught using a phone will be asked to leave to keep the focus on laughter and applause. For tickets and further information, individuals can head over to Ticketmaster.
