legendary comedy forces in the business,” says Jesse Stoll, Senior Talent

friends on the road continuing the LIT AF brand and bracing the world for a
killer comedy explosion!”

Lawrence. “Bringing the tour back out on the road is always exciting, no two
shows are the same and we all bring something different to the party.”

“Being on the road with this group of
funny AF comedians is a blast,” says Lawrence. “No two shows are the same and
we all bring something different to the party.”
Martin Lawrence started in stand-up comedy at the legendary The Improv,
where he honed his talents until he was asked by Russell Simmons to host his
groundbreaking comedy series Def Comedy Jam on HBO. From there, Lawrence became a household name
after his hugely popular self-titled TV show, Martin, was an instant hit
with TV viewers. He starred for five
years as not only the title character, but other support characters like the
sassy Sheneneh and Mama Payne, who became comedy classics. Lawrence would later go on to star in comedy
blockbusters like Bad Boys 1&2, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate,
which he also directed, and Big Momma’s House 1, 2 & 3 where he once
again proved his talent for creating and acting as multiple characters in one
storyline.
