Kevin Hart brings big laughs to Jeddah
The show is part of the comic's Acting My Age tour.
Saudi Arabia has been pulling out all the stops when it comes to entertainment. The Kingdom is becoming a hotspot for global superstars with Jennifer Lopez and Usher setting the stage on fire in Jeddah last weekend. And now, comedy heavyweight Kevin Hart is making his way to the coastal city.
Taking place on 1 May, Kevin Hart will be performing live at the Abadi AlJohar Arena. If you're a fan of stand-up comedy, you're in for a treat with sharp-witted punchlines and observation by the man himself.
For the unversed, Kevin Hart is a big name in the comedy world. Hailing from Pennsylvania, he first stepped into the industry under the name Lil Kev. While he had a rough start, he's currently an Emmy and Grammy-nominated actor and comedian, known for hits like Fatherhood, Night School, Ride Along, Think Like a Man, Soul Plane, and the Jumanji series — to name a few. And his upcoming performance is expected to be nothing short of spectacular.
Kevin Hart is no stranger to Saudi Arabia. He's performed in Riyadh before and has been making regular visits to the Kingdom since 2023. So his upcoming stop in Jeddah — part of his Acting My Age Tour — is definitely one to look out for as he gears up to have you rolling on the floor laughing.
After Jeddah, Kevin Hart is heading over to Abu Dhabi, where he'll be performing at Etihad Arena as part of the Abu Dhabi Comedy Season as well.
Tickets for Kevin Hart's Jeddah show go on sale later today on WeBook, so make sure you secure your passes and enjoy an evening full of unstoppable laughter.

Actress Mindy Kaling tells why she has taken a break from acting
Hollywood star Mindy Kaling has talked about why she has taken a step back from acting. During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter as part of the Paley Media Council Series. Kaling detailed how her superstitions played a role in that decision while explaining why she didn't make a cameo in her Netflix series Never Have I Ever, reports Kaling and Lang Fisher co-created the teen comedy, which ran for four seasons and takes inspiration from Kaling's cultural upbringing. 'A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that — what's wrong with me?' Kaling began. 'I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'' Kaling said fans may see more of her on screen soon. 'I miss it. I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon.' For Kaling, she would love to have the opportunity to double as an actor and director in her next project, which is 'unbelievably fun and it's so efficient.' She said: 'I would love to do that again. That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again.' In February, Kaling's co-created and executive-produced Netflix show Running Point was released, starring Kate Hudson in the lead role. While attending an Emmy consideration event for their Netflix show, Hudson praised Kaling's work ethic, especially after giving birth. Kaling has three children: a daughter, born in 2017, a son, born in 2020 and a daughter born in 2024. She has kept the paternity of her children private. Kaling first gained recognition for playing Kelly Kapoor in the NBC sitcom The Office (2005—2013), on which she also worked as a writer. For her work on it, she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. She gained wider attention for creating, producing and playing the title role in the Fox/Hulu sitcom The Mindy Project (2012—2017). She then created other television comedy series, including Never Have I Ever (2020—2023), The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021—2025), and Running Point (since 2025). Her film career includes voice roles in Despicable Me (2010), Wreck-It Ralph (2012), and Inside Out (2015) as well as live action roles in No Strings Attached (2011), The Five-Year Engagement (2012), A Wrinkle in Time (2018), Ocean's 8 (2018), and Late Night (2019), the last of which she also wrote and produced. She wrote two memoirs both reaching The New York Times Best Seller list. She also received a Tony Award for Best Musical as a producer for the musical A Strange Loop. Agencies

She's stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist: Her debut album, "Who I Really Am,' was released Friday. "I'm surrounded by friends that do really crazy, brave, 'I could fail miserably' things,' said Goldsberry, whose role as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton won her a Tony in 2016 for best featured actress in a musical. In that same year, she earned a Grammy for best musical theater album. "They jump off cliffs, they start to fly, we get to see it and it's so inspiring that you put out an album,' she said.

Pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer
The English pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery after her performance at the London music festival Capital's Summertime Ball next weekend. Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday. "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said in the clip. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'." "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive (expletive) and more music.' The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to share her diagnosis. "I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me.' The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014 collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, "Bang Bang,' and 2011's "Domino.' She has released five albums across her career, most recently, 2018's Christmas album, "This Christmas Day.' She has been releasing new music in 2025, including the singles "Living My Best Life' and "No Secrets.' A new album is expected later this year. She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023. A representative for Jessie J did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Associated Press
