Comedian and actor Kevin Hart details his path to success as an entertainer and shares how he develops stand-up routines.
Kevin Hart, now one of the most successful comics out there, struggled to find places to perform when he first started out as a stand-up comedian, so he picked some very unexpected venues.The 44-year-old entertainer took gigs wherever he could get them: bowling alleys, cabarets and strip clubs. He doesn't 'know who thought that comedy and strippers mix,' but a strip club performance led to one of the most heartbreaking moments of his career on stage.
'I might be sitting here all day if I don't go grab it and I don't go make what I feel should be mine,' Hart said.And that's what he did. He started a small production company, now called Hartbeat, and began developing his own stand-up specials. Hart also marketed himself relentlessly through social media — and Hollywood studios took notice, hiring him for a slew of movies.
