Martin Lawrence

During the ’90s, Martin Lawrence was one of comedy’s most prominent stars, a host of HBO’s influential “Def Comedy Jam,” star of his own hit sitcom “Martin” and a major box office draw, thanks to his 1995 Will Smith buddy-cop blockbuster Bad Boys. His stardom was almost undone, though, by his erratic offstage behavior (some of which was reportedly the inspiration for Tracy Jordan’s shenanigans on “30 Rock.”) In recent years, Lawrence has been working steadily again, and ahead of his return in another Bad Boys movie tentatively set for a 2020 release, he recorded his first comedy special in 14 years, 2016’s “Martin Lawrence Doin’ Time: Uncut,” which aired on Showtime. He returns to Milwaukee with this “Lit AF” tour, featuring comedians DeRay Davis, Rickey Smiley, Michael Blackson and Benji Brown.
