HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Martin Lawrence returned to South Florida earlier this year to film the fifth installment of the "Bad Boys" movie franchise. Now, he'll be back to bring his standup act to the area.

Lawrence is hitting the road for his "Y'all Know What It Is!" comedy tour, which includes three December dates in Florida.

The 59-year-old "Bad Boys" star is scheduled to perform Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

It's sandwiched between a Dec. 13 stop in Jacksonville and a Dec. 15 date in Tampa.

Other stops on Lawrence's 36-city comedy tour, which begins this summer and continues through April 2025, include Detroit, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago.

"Comedy gives me that instant gratification," Lawrence said in a statement. "Seeing the fans up close and in person, making people laugh, doing what I love most, this is what it's all about for me. But hey … y'all know what it is!"

Lawrence's tour coincides with the release of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," which opens June 7. Like its predecessors, the movie was partially filmed in South Florida.
