Kevin Hart, the man who was No. 1 at the box office for the first three weeks of the year with "Jumanji," will return to Philips Arena for a solo show Sunday, April 8.

Hart is one of the top draws in theaters today but he has continued to work on his stand-up career as well. He headlined three shows at Philips in 2015, the most ever for a solo stand-up artist in the history of the arena. He first headlined at Philips in 2012.

During his last international tour, Hart sold out Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and arenas in Europe, North America and Australia, grossing more than $100 million.

He is now a true A lister thanks to films such as "Ride Along," "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie," "Central Intelligence," "The Secret Life of Pets," "Get Hard," and "Ride Along 2." He had a No. 1 best-selling book last year.

This current tour starts in March, runs through December with more than 100 dates scheduled in four continents.

Tickets for the Atlanta date will become available at noon Wednesday, January 31 at livenation.com. Ticket prices range from $43.50 to $179.50 before fees.

If the show sells out quickly, Hart has enough wiggle room in his schedule to add a second or even third date in Atlanta.

Here are the current dates:
