Comedy superstar Kevin Hart has put Dallas on the list as part of his huge "The Kevin Hart Irresponsible Tour," with a stop at American Airlines Center on Friday, October 26.
The tour was first launched in October with 18 dates. It's now being expanded with more than 100 new dates across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Hart will make three other stops in Texas: Houston on October 20, San Antonio on November 1, and Austin on November 2.
With six empty days between the Houston and Dallas dates, it's possible more dates will be added in both cities.
This will be Hart's first visit to Dallas since he performed at American Airlines Center in August 2015 as part of his "What Now?" tour.
With his highly successful film career, it's a wonder Hart has any time left for stand-up at at all. He starred in both Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in 2017, has The Upside with Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman opening in March, and currently is filming Night School with Tiffany Haddish. He also released a memoir, I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons, in 2017.
Tickets for all North American dates will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, January 31 at 11 am at LiveNation.com.
The famous couch gag on The Simpsons is getting a Meow Wolf makeover in new episode.
Acclaimed art spaceMeow Wolf is headed to Springfield. The company has collaborated on a double-episode of The Simpsons to be released this week as part of the famous couch gag that opens each show. Easter eggs from the various locations appear.
Meow Wolf is the Santa Fe-based, immersive art experience that opened its first Texas location in Grapevine in 2023. A location in Houston followed a year later.
“Getting the opportunity to be part of the show that has warped our minds since we were kids is a huge honor and an experience we will never forget,” Meow Wolf co-founder Emily Montoya said in a statement. “Working with Matt Selman and his team was fantastic. From the beginning, they supported and encouraged all our crazy ideas and helped us hone the piece into its final form. We’re especially grateful for their help encapsulating Matt King’s rainbow wizard essence into cameo form.”
The double episode, "Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition," premieres on Wednesday, June 17 on Disney+. In it, Marge dreams how life with her husband, Homer, could have turned out differently, including an homage to Joker: Folie à Deux and a world where Homer is an extreme sports enthusiast. The all new, streaming exclusive episodes following the animated show's record-breaking 37th Season.
The iconic couch gag has long been a venue for guest artists. Everyone from horror master Guillermo Del Toro to street artist Banksy to indie animation innovator Don Hertzfeldt have collaborated on the pop culture institution, putting Meow Wolf in very good company.
Even in just the preview, several famous Meow Wolf installations can be briefly seen, like references to Omega Mart in Las Vegas. Houston gets a shout out as Barney shares a drink with Meow Wolf co-founder Matt King in Cowboix Hevvven, the venue's on site bar. As the couch gag goes on, the fourth wall breaks and a team of Meow Wolf artists craft a recycled art installation of the Simpsons in their living room (see picture above).
Matt Selman, showrunner and executive producer of The Simpsons, is a huge fan of Meow Wolf, and decided to work with the organization after visiting several of their installations.
“This has been a dream collaboration, in that I had to do almost nothing, other than a few Zoom meetings,” he said. “The brilliant minds at Meow Wolf reimagined the ‘couch gag’ in a way that only they could — delivering the silliness and surreality and homemade outsider sensibility that has blown so many minds. Thank you to all the artists and artisans (not sure of the difference, but maybe there is one) at Meow Wolf for crafting this superbly joyful couch gag!”
