No joke! Kevin Hart has banned phones from his upcoming Australian comedy tour
This is not a joke – Kevin Hart is bringing the laughs back to Australia this September. Whether you know him from his Hollywood days in blockbusters like Get Hard, Central Intelligence, Ride Along and Jumanji, or his hugely successful stand-up comedy career, Hart is a face and name recognised around the world. It's been a hot minute since the Emmy- and Grammy-nominated legend last performed in Oz with his stand-up special Reality Check, which Billboard named the number one Comedy Tour of 2022 and saw him become the highest-grossing comedian the year after. Now, after a hugely popular run in the US and Europe, Hart is bringing his ninth stand-up special Acting My Age to Aussie shores this September – with arena shows locked in for Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. But this tour is all about the laughs, not the livestreams. Hart's banned phones from his shows, meaning you'll need to lock any devices (phones, smartwatches and accessories) in a Yondr pouch before entering the venue or risk getting kicked out. Here's everything you need to know about scoring tickets to Kevin Hart's Australian tour. When is Kevin Hart coming to Australia? The American blockbuster funnyman is bringing his Acting My Age tour to three Aussie cities, including: Perth 's RAC Arena – Tuesday, September 23 Melbourne 's Rod Laver Arena – Thursday, September 25 Sydney 's Qudos Bank Arena – Friday, September 26 When do tickets go on sale for Kevin Hart's Australia tour? The general public sale starts on Tuesday, July 22 at 12pm local time via Ticketek. Is there a pre-sale for Kevin Hart's Australia tour? You get not one, but two chances to snag tickets to Hart's tour before the giggle gates open to everyone. First up, the artist pre-sale kicks off on Friday, July 18 at 11am local time, followed by an exclusive pre-sale for My Live Nation members commencing on Monday, July 21 at 12pm local time. How much are tickets to Kevin Hart in Australia? Prices for Hart's 2025 Aussie shows are still being finalised, but with tickets for Hart's last tour starting at $119, it's safe to assume they'll be in that ballpark – or higher. We'll update you with prices once they're revealed.
