Kevin Darnell Hart[2] was born inPhiladelphia on July 6, 1979,[3] to Nancy Hart (died 2007)[4] and Henry Robert Witherspoon (died 2022).[3][5] He has an older brother named Robert.[2] He was raised in asingle-parent household by his mother, who worked as a systems analyst for the Office of Student Registration and Financial Services at theUniversity of Pennsylvania.[2] His father was acocaine addict who was in and out of jail throughout most of Hart's childhood, prompting Hart to use humor as a way to cope with his troubled family life.[3] His relationship with his father improved after his father recovered from his addiction.[4] He would also later talk about his mother in his stand-up routine, portraying her as a loving yet intimidating woman.[6]
As a teenager, Hart had aspirations of becoming a basketball player. He was a participant at the La Salle basketball camp with futureNational Basketball Association hall of famerKobe Bryant and future political commentator and activistMarc Lamont Hill.[7][8][9]
After graduating fromGeorge Washington High School, Hart briefly attended theCommunity College of Philadelphia before dropping out and moving toNew York City.[10][11][12] He spent some time working as a shoe salesman.[12][13]
Hart's first stand-up performance took place at The Laff House in his nativePhiladelphia under the name of Lil Kev, which did not go well.[4][14] His career suffered a slow start and he was booed offstage several times, once even having a piece of chicken thrown at him.[15] After those initial unsuccessful shows, he began entering comedy competitions throughoutMassachusetts, with audience receptions eventually improving.[12] It took time for Hart to develop a unique comedic style. After an early period of attempting to imitate comedians likeChris Tucker, he found his own rhythm by delving into his insecurities and life experiences. He said, "Because of what I do, it has to be an open book. But right now this is a book that is being written."[15]
Hart's comedy tours began in 2009 with his act titledI'm a Grown Little Man, followed bySeriously Funny in 2010,Laugh at My Pain in 2011, andLet Me Explain in 2013, the last two of which were also released as features in theaters.[4] Hart grossed over $15 million from "Laugh at My Pain", making it one of the year's top-selling comedy tours.[16] Hart also has a game app available throughiTunes called "Little Jumpman". HisFacebook page,Twitter account, andYouTube channel are all connected to and accessible through this app.[14] Most overseas fans of Hart discovered him on YouTube, as well.[17]
On April 9, 2015, Hart embarked on a comedy world tour titled theWhat Now? Tour at theAT&T Center inSan Antonio, which concluded on August 7, 2016, at theColumbus Civic Center in Columbus, Georgia.

Tour, would be theatrically released in the United States on October 14, 2016.[18] The show was filmed live on August 30, 2015, in front of 53,000 people, atPhiladelphia'sLincoln Financial Field.[19][20]
In 2025, Hart performed as a headliner inSaudi Arabia'sRiyadh Comedy Festival, an event taking place from September 26th to October 9th.[21][22] The comedy festival overlaps with the seventh anniversary ofthe assassination ofJamal Khashoggi, prompting Joey Shea, Saudi Arabia researcher atHuman Rights Watch, to say in a statement that the Saudi government is using the comedy festival towhitewash itshuman rights abuses.[23][24] Hart has performed in the region before, the first time taking place in January, 2023.[25][26]
Hart had a guest appearance in the 2002sitcom,Undeclared. He made his film debut in the 2002 filmPaper Soldiers.

Smoove,Nick Cannon andRobin Thicke. Thicke did not return for the second season due to his music career, though Hart has stated that the door is open for him to return.[30] The series is filmed in a style similar toBravo'sThe Real Housewives. Episodes often hinge on the "real" Hart's desperately unsuccessful attempts to climb Hollywood's celebrity social ladder (which always backfire in humiliating ways), and the character's barely-hidden envy of his more successful celebrity friends. A sneak peek was shown as a segment during the2012 BET Awards and the officialpromo was released in October 2012.[31]
In 2014, Hart starred as Ben inRide Along, oppositeIce Cube.[32] The film received generally negative reviews from critics, but was a major box office success.[33][34] Hart returned in the sequel,Ride Along 2, which was released in 2016.[35][36] In 2015, Hart starred in the filmsGet Hard withWill Ferrell andThe Wedding Ringer.

Two days later, however, he withdrew from hosting duties in the wake of backlash against him over severalhomophobic tweets he had posted between 2010 and 2011.[74][75][76][77] He characterized the protest as unconstructive and argued, "If you don't believe people change, grow as they get older, I don't know what to tell you". On December 7, he tweeted an apology to theLGBTQ community following criticism for not issuing one the previous day.[78] On January 3, 2019, Hart stated that he was going to reconsider stepping down as host, after openly lesbian comedianEllen DeGeneres, who has hosted the Academy Awards multiple times, expressed support for him to do so and said she had contacted the Academy to ask if Hart would be able to reverse his decision if he wished and, according to DeGeneres, they said he would be able to do so.[79] On January 8, following backlash for what was perceived as an insincere apology by critics, Hart confirmed that he would not be hosting the Academy Awards.[80] That year's ceremony was ultimately held without a host.
