Today, comedy legend Martin Lawrence has announced his next headlining arena tour: the “Y’all Know What It Is!” tour.
It will be the first comedy tour from Lawrence since 2016 and kick off on Saturday, July 20th and hit nearly 40 cities throughout the U.S. all the way through April 2025, including stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., and many more.
“Y’all Know What It Is!” is set to be an all-new stand-up show and fresh one hour set where Lawrence 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 tour is set to launch soon after the June 7 release of the highly anticipated Bad Boys: Ride or Die feature film, co-starring Will Smith. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 17 at 10am local. To purchase tickets, head here.
