You can’t say that ever since comedian Kevin Hart left Philly – getting booed on stage at South Street’s The Laff House when he was still using the name ‘Lil Kev’ – that his life hasn’t gotten better, and his career, more successful. That’s not to say that Hart won’t tout Philly pride at every opportunity. Just watch his Netflix documentary series, “Don’t F**k This Up.” His Philadelphia backstory is the basis for a good half of that autobiographical film.
That autobiography just got a little deeper as of October 1. Along with announcing the birth of a new baby (he and his wife, Eniko Hart, had a girl, Kaori Mai Hart, on Tuesday) and that he and Ice Cube were gearing up for pre-production on their cop comedy, “Ride Along 3,” Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud (LOL Audio) – the comedy brand and multi-platform entertainment company founded by the comic in partnership with Simon & Schuster Audio – released its debut audiobook title, “Laugh Out Loud Presents Comedy in Color, Volume 1, Hosted by Lil Rel.”
The debut of “Comedy In Color, Volume 1” and host Lil Rel Howery (best known from Jordan Peele’s “Get Out”) welcome 40+ comics of color from around the globe – from Tone Bell to Aisha Brown to Ronny Chieng to Jessimae Peluso to Aida Rodriguez to Ahir Shah to Jesus Trejo to Ahamed Weinberg to Gina Yashere – to the biggest virtual international comedy festival on earth with 10 curated stand-up sets from the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal at a time.
A preview of the audiobook can be found HERE. “Comedy in Color” will be available for purchase on Apple, Audible, GooglePlay and more. Plus, old-schoolers can buy it on CD as of October 13.
