Martin Lawrence Hits The Road With “Y’all Know What It Is” Tour

Legendary comedian and actor Martin Lawrence joined our friends on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show to talk about the Bad Boy franchise and his upcoming comedy tour.

After his box-office hit of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Martin emphasized the need for laughter and comedy in today’s world. His “Y’all Know What It Is” Comedy Tour is one way Martin is working to make people laugh.

“People need laughter out here… laughter is the medicine we need… so I’m just coming to make them laugh”

Usher’s “Rendezvous in Paris” Comes to Theaters

via AMC theaters

Usher delivered an ultimate show during his Vegas residencies; bringing a layer of French themes to performances of his chart-topping hits. The performance, as well as behind-the-scenes moments were captured for the concert film, “USHER: RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS” and is set to play in AMC theaters from September 12th-15th.

If “USHER: RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS” it’s anything like his Super Bowl Halftime Show, it’ll certainly be worth any and all hype. Check out this sneak peek ⬇️

Boyz II Men Tour to Celebrate “II” Turning 30

Boyz II Men are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album “II” with a tour, and lucky for us they’re making three stops in Florida!

  • Tampa, FL - Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Thursday Oct 3rd

  • Jacksonville, FL - Daily’s Place - Friday, Oct 4th

  • Hollywood, FL - Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Saturday Oct 5th

This tour is only the beginning for them; they’ll be holding a four-night residency in Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan August 23-24 and August 30-31. This isn’t their first time playing in Vegas, although it is a new venue for them. I wonder what songs they’ll play, have any hopes/predictions? ⬇️
