Kevin Hart's upcoming SSE Arena show is 'phone-free'

Don't get caught - or you'll be escorted out!

The SSE Arena Belfast has announced that no phones will be allowed during this weekend's upcoming Kevin Hart comedy show.

Special pouches will be shared with the audience upon arrival at the arena, which will only be reopened after the show.

Anyone seen using a device during the performance will be escorted out of the arena by security.

Could this be what shows and concerts look like in the future?

Upon arrival at the venue, phones will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event. Guests maintain possession of their devices at all times. All devices will be re-secured in Yondr pouches before returning to the performance space.

The American comedian returned home for a few weeks, but is back in Belfast to finish filming his exciting new Netflix project 'Lift.'

Announcing pop-up shows in local comedy bars Lavery's and Limelight, fans went wild for the announcement of an arena show.

Hart has been testing out some new material, so he clearly wants to keep it a secret for now. Belfast will be one of the first audiences to hear it.

Just last week Spiderman's Jacob Batalon was spotted tucking into some local grub at the popular burger joint Mikey's on Bridge Street.

Rumour has it Batalon is filming with Kevin too!
