Martin Lawrence

Comedy legend Martin Lawrence returns to stages this spring with his acclaimed “Y’all Still Know What Is! Tour.” Martin brings the real talk and finds the funny in everything from family to culture as only he can. Lawrence, hailed by fans around the world as one of the greatest comics of all time, launched his comedy career in New York City at the Improv Comedy Club. His breakthrough film role came courtesy of Spike Lee in the classic “Do The Right Thing!” Other film roles followed including “House Party and Boomerang.”

He soon captured the attention of mega producer Russell Simmons who tapped Lawrence to host the groundbreaking HBO series “Def Comedy Jam.” In 1992, Lawrence landed his own hit series “Martin.” The ratings juggernaut single-handedly elevated FOX to a major contender against network television stations. Following the finale of his self-titled comedy series, Lawrence went on to star in a string of top grossing films including “Life,” “Big Momma’s House” and the “Bad Boys” franchise.
