Behind the scenes of the friends' stand-up tour

Netflix is to air a behind-the-scenes documentary about Kevin Hart and Chris Rock’s joint stand-up shows.

Headliners Only – which drops on December 12 – follows the two comics as they prepare for a week of four sold-out shows in New York in summer 2022.

The streamer says the film will see the two stand-ups ‘share first-hand accounts of the struggles and triumphs they faced before their respective colossal successes, placing their bond and brotherhood on full display.’

‘This is a story about two separate journeys that somehow align and end up at the same intersection at the top,’ Hart says in a teaser, which has been released today. 

And when the dates were initially announced, he said: ‘I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the return of live comedy than to co-headline a show with my brother Chris Rock. This is a major moment in comedy and one for the history books.’

While performing at Madison Square Garden Hart even bought his friend a real-life goat, to signify his ‘greatest of all-time’ GOAT status.

The animal was named Will Smith – in honour of the actor who infamously slapped Rock at the Oscars ceremony just months before the tour started.
