SAVANNA Premium Cider is bringing one of the world’s hottest names in stand-up comedy – celebrated American actor Kevin Hart – on his first tour to South Africa.
The Kevin Hart What Now? Tour made its debut in Texas in April with sell-out performances throughout the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
The South African leg of what has been billed as the biggest comedy tour of all time kicks off in March with shows in Joburg, Cape Town and Durban.
With a huge international fan base for his charismatic appeal and fast-talking style of comedy, Hart fits perfectly into the sharp-witted world of Savanna with its signature dry take on humour and ardent support of comedy since its launch in 1996.
“Savanna’s association with this unconventional, world-class entertainer is spot on for the brand, which is why we have gone all out to bring Kevin Hart to South Africa on his first visit to the African continent,” says Marcel Swain, the Savanna South Africa marketing manager. “His rise to fame as the ultimate maverick, quitting his job as a shoe salesman after an electrifying chance performance in a Philadelphia comedy club, exemplifies Sa-vanna’s left-of-centre attitude and shunning of the ordinary.”
A prolific entertainer, Hart is one of the most hard-working performers in show business with his comedy tours, hit movies, television show and prime-time TV appearances.
He has more than 30 films to his credit, two of the most recent being The Wedding Ringer and Get Hard, opposite Will Ferrell, both released earlier this year.
He produces and stars in the television hit series Real Husbands of Hollywood and has made appearances in numerous top-rated TV shows such as Modern Family and Saturday Night Live.
The Kevin Hart What Now? Tour is promoted by Real Concerts with co-partners M-Net and 947.
Tickets are available from Computicket.
On Monday, Hart posted a picture of the moment he made history in his home town of Philadelphia this past weekend:

This is my best hour of comedy material....THIS WILL BE MY BIGGEST & BEST COMEDY SPECIAL EVER!!!! If you don't believe me just watch!!!! Brace yourself PHILADELPHIA....
