About

Martin Lawrence on Tour

Martin Lawrence may always have a place in Hollywood movies and on TV screens, but it's clear where he feels most at home: on stage. That's where he truly gets to showcase a comedic sensibility that's raw, unpredictable, and totally unbridled. One of 2018's most hilarious comedy events, the LIT AF Tour is a testament to the prowess and energy that Lawrence has demonstrated as a stand-up ever since he first showed what he could do at The Improv, the legendary New York comedy club that launched Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld, and countless other greats.

Pryor was a big hero for Lawrence as a young performer, who came to comedy and acting after displaying great promise as a boxer. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, on a U.S. army base, he grew up in several cities in the U.S. before moving to New York in the mid-1980s to break into comedy. His raucous sets soon led to a spot on ‘Star Search' and movies including ‘House Party' and ‘Do the Right Thing.' In 1992, Russell Simmons chose him to host ‘Def Comedy Jam,' the groundbreaking HBO series that fostered a new wave of black comedians. That same year, his sitcom ‘Martin' began its five-year run on Fox, becoming one of the network's highest rated shows.

He found just as much success on the big screen with hit comedies like ‘Nothing to Lose,' ‘Blue Streak,' and the ‘Big Momma's House' franchise. He'd also set new standards for mayhem in ‘Bad Boys' and ‘Bad Boys II,' his action-comedy blockbusters with Will Smith and director Michael Bay. Yet even during his rise to full-fledged movie stardom, he never left the stage for long. The concert films ‘You So Crazy' and ‘Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat' proved he'd lost none of his edge as a stand-up act.

Two years after his successful headlining tour Doin' Time: Uncut Live, he returns to slay audiences all over again with the LIT AF Tour. This time, however, he's brought some friends. With Lawrence serving as host much like he did way back in the day on ‘Def Comedy Jam,' the LIT AF Tour presents an array of veteran and emerging talents. Changing from city to city, the lineup of acts includes Jay Pharaoh, J.B. Smoove, Adele Givens, Rickey Smiley, and Clayton Thomas. Of course, with Martin Lawrence around, you know who'll run the show no matter who's there.

    Martin was HILARIOUS!!!

    by LULU2047 on 2/10/10Silver Legacy Casino - Reno

    I loved his comedy routine. There was a room of over 2000 people, all different, and everyone was laughing their tails off!!! My boyfriend and I left the event with our cheeks hurting!! I was disappointed that there was a no camera or audio rule and that the show all together including the woman before him was only about an hour or so.

    Maritin Lawrence - A True Comedy Legend!!!

    by rob1sfc on 2/8/10Silver Legacy Casino - Reno

    Wow! What a great show. Martin had myself and my girlfriend in tears the whole time. It was an incredible experience sitting in front of a legend like Martin. Out of all the comedy shows we have seen, I will have to say that this by far was the best and biggest production that we have ever been to. I would recommend this show to anyone and everyone who wants to have a great evening of laughter. I had such a good time that I hated when the show was over and it was time to go!!! Thanks for making us laugh so hard Martin!!!

    welcome back martie mar

    by jazzy6280 on 2/7/10Silver Legacy Casino - Reno

    It was a nice show! After the show they only allowed a few people in the VIP at one time. Martin took the time to see everyone and to make sure that we were all able to take pictures and talk with him. Too bad other celebs don't take the time to really get to know their fans. Very funny and down to earth guy. His show is a must see! The opening act was really funny as well.

    Martin

    by MinaIse on 2/7/10Silver Legacy Casino - Reno

    Hardworking, excellent comedian. Dueing the show people spoke up but he was able to really communicate with them and make fun of them (put them away). And concentrated back to his topic immediately. He won't be distracted. Free-flowing comedian.
