After an early period of attempting to imitate comedians like Chris Tucker, he found his own rhythm by delving into his insecurities and life experiences. It took time for Hart to develop a unique comedic style. After those initial unsuccessful shows, Hart began entering comedy competitions throughout Massachusetts and audience receptions of his performances eventually improved. His career suffered a slow start, as he was booed off stage several times, once even having a piece of chicken thrown at him. Hart's first gig was at The Laff House in Philadelphia under the name of Lil Kev, which did not go well. He began pursuing a career in stand-up comedy after performing at an amateur night at a club in Philadelphia. He then moved to Brockton, Massachusetts, and found work as a shoe salesman.
