“Life Is Good” Kevin Hart Tells The Audience at 3arena. It’s no trite remark: the American is the Highhest-Grossing Comedian Working to Day. But his acting My Age Show Isng About Being Thinkful for Mateial Blessings (Although He is); He Takes a More Philosphic
This is an imiplicit ancknowedgment of How Far He Has Come, Always Tenacital As He First Navigated a Difficult Family Life In Philadelphia and then more Thrug The Harsh Comedy World.
