Hart's first professional gig was as Lil Kev at The Laff House in Philadelphia, which did not go well. His career got off to a rocky start, as he was repeatedly booed off the stage. Following those initial failures, Hart continued competing in comedy competitions throughout Massachusetts, and audience reactions to his performances gradually improved.

Hart had to work hard to develop his own comedic style. After attempting to imitate comedians such as Chris Tucker at first, he finally discovered his own rhythm by delving into his insecurities and life experiences. His breakthrough role came when Judd Apatow cast him in a recurring role on the TV series Undeclared, which led to roles in Scary Movie, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Meet Dave.

Following the success of his first stand-up album in 2008, Hart embarked on his first comedy tour, I'm A Grown Little Man. Every year since 2008, Hart has been involved in either a comedy tour or a film, gradually transitioning his brand from indie comic to established comic and worthwhile brand.

Kevin HartBeat Productions was founded in 2009. Kevin's film, television, comedy, and radio productions are now managed by a team of over 40 people. Kevin has embarked on a number of extremely successful comedy tours. Hart made the most money of his career in 2016 with his What Now? comedy tour, which was one of the year's highest-grossing comedy tours, with Hart reportedly grossing over $35 million in ticket sales alone and selling out the famous Madison Square Garden. Kevin Hart was the highest-paid comedian of all time by the end of the year, earning more than $87.5 million. Between April 2015 and August 2016, he performed 168 shows on his What Now? tour around the world. Between September 2017 and January 2019, he performed 119 shows on his Irresponsible tour. During a tour year, he earns around $70 million from his shows. In October 2018, it was announced that he had signed a first-look deal with Nickelodeon through his production company. Hart and his HartBeat Productions label will develop and produce live-action, scripted kids content for the network under the terms of the agreement. Hart has a first-look film deal with Universal Studios as well. Hart also has a number of lucrative endorsements from companies such as Fabletics and Chase.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (and a 2019 Jumanji sequel), The Secret Life of Pets (also with a 2019 sequel), and Central Intelligence are among his notable other films.

Kevin now lives in a large mansion within a gated community in Calabasas, California. He paid $1.35 million for the 26-acre plot of undeveloped land in 2015. He planned and waited for approval to build a house on the property for the next two years. He finally received permission in April 2017 and spent $5 million on an absolutely stunning compound. The main house on the property is 9,600 square feet and is designed in the Spanish villa style.
