KEVIN HART
Comedian and actor Kevin Hart, whose recent tours have included stops at arenas such as the Prudential Center in Newark and Madison Square Garden in New York, will perform stand-up shows for a small fraction of his usual crowd size at the outdoor Concerts in the Garden series at the Blu Grotto at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, Sept. 3-4 at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Tickets will go on sale at noon Aug. 28.
(Aug. 31 Update: The shows have now been moves, and new shows have been added that will go on sale Sept. 1. There will now be seven shows, Sept. 6-8. For current information, visit thebasie.org/garden.).
Tickets will be sold in tables of two, four and six, and will include a dinner reservation. The tables will be six feet apart, and at least 12 feet from the stage. Temperatures will be taken at the door; those with too high a temperature will not be permitted to enter, and a refund will be given. Masks must be worn when entering the venue or using the restroom.
Other comedians coming to the same venue include Nikki Glaser, Aug. 28; Chris Distefano, Aug. 29; and Vic DiBitetto, Sept. 12. Musical bookings range from Jorma Kaukonen (Sept. 20-21) to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Septet featuring Wynton Marsalis (Oct. 4).
