Each episode spotlights a single performer, opening on an interview with Hart that leads into a special from the featured comedian.
“I can’t wait to show the world what they’ve been missing in these six amazing talents,” said Hart. “The Next Level is the country’s opportunity to get in on the ground floor with the next generation of stand-up headliners.”

Marvin Hunter, September 7
Marvin Hunter discovered his passion for writing and performing comedy while serving in the U.S. Navy. His unique sense of humor and unabashed point of view developed from his countless overseas deployments during a military service that spanned more than 20 years, his upbringing in the Deep South by a no-nonsense Civil Rights activist of the 1960s, and all of the absurdities of life along the way. For these reasons, Marvin is known as the Grumpy Uncle (#grumpyuncle) on the comedy scene worldwide. In addition to Kevin Hart Presents: The Next Level, Marvin has previously appeared on the “Mississippi” episode of Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City (Comedy Central), Off the Chain (Bounce TV), Comedy Dynamics: Uncontrolled Comedy (BET), The Haves and Have Nots (OWN), Jamie Foxx’s The Foxxhole (SiriusXM Radio), and the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
