Martin Lawrence has announced a massive arena tour, his first comedy tour since 2016. Dubbed the “Y’all Know What It Is!” tour, the trek begins on July 20, following the June 7 release of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith’s latest Bad Boys film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and it includes stops in Detroit, Dallas, Los Angeles, Tampa, Nashville, Brooklyn, Atlantic City, Chicago, and more. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 17 at 10 AM local time. The announcement reads:
“Y’all Know What It Is!” is an all-new stand-up show and fresh one hour set where Martin brings the real talk and finds the funny in everything from family to culture as only he can. Special guests have been personally hand-picked by the comedy maestro and are some of the hottest comedians on the mic including Adele Givens, B. Simone, Chico Bean, DC Youngfly, Deon Cole, Desi Banks, Gary Owen, Jess Hilarious, Mojo Brookzz, Ms. Pat, Rickey Smiley and more. Guest comedians vary by city.
“Comedy gives me that instant gratification,” Lawrence says. “Seeing the fans up close and in person, making people laugh, doing what I love most, this is what it’s all about for me. But hey…y’all know what it is!”
The Brooklyn stop is January 24, 2025 at Barclays Center with Jess Hilarious. All dates are listed below.
