REALITY CHECK' NO CELLPHONES ALLOWED Like Hart, fans are getting ready for the first show in Cape Town tonight. But please note if you are caught using your cell phone, you will be escorted out.
Over the past few years the banning of cellphones and other recording devices at shows have become a standing policy for Hart and other comedians.
This is to protect their material from being pirated and distributed on the internet, Ebony.com reports.
Recently, publications have reported that attendees at Hart's shows whop violated this policy have been escorted from the venue.
Other comedians such as Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan have instituted similar policies.
Chappelle reportedly works with Yondr, a company that created pouches so attendees of his shows can lock up their phones until the performance is over.
The phones can still be accessed but can only be unlocked by a Yondr team member and only in a designated area. Ebony.com reports.
IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR THREE NIGHTS ONLY, AMIDST LOAD SHEDDING Reportedly, Chappelle works with Yondr, a company that created pouches so attendees of his shows can lock up their phones until the performance is over. Attendees can still access their phones, which must be unlocked by a Yondr team member, and they must go to a designated area to use their phones. According to Yondr, the pouches can be used at schools, concerts, courts and private events. On their website, they say they will work with partners to conceptualize and implement a phone-free space.
South Africa, it has been too long. Your boy is coming your way on the 17th of February. It's going down Years on years on years it's been but I cannot wait to get to you. Me in your world, let's do what we do best. Let's have a good time together, Kevin Hart announced his South African tour in a video on social media.
