Reason behind strict no-phones policy at Kevin Hart's Manchester show tonight

American comedian and actor Kevin Hart will be in Manchester this week for a huge stand-up gig as part of his UK arena tour.

He’ll be bringing his Reality Check comedy tour to Manchester's AO Arena on Tuesday, April 25, then heading off to perform two nights in London before concluding the tour in Glasgow on April 29, 2023. Hart, who started out as a stand-up comic before appearing in Hollywood films and TV shows, last performed in the city six years ago as part of his What Now? tour.

Marking his return, the comedy icon has made a slight tweak to his performance - and it's to do with mobile phones and electronic devices. To ensure both he and the audience ‘enjoy the show in the moment without distraction’, Hart is making all of his shows on the tour phone-free with rules in place to make sure devices are not used during the performance - anyone who doesn't comply will be 'asked to leave'.
