World-famous American comedian Kevin Hart’s show in Cairo was canceled on Monday, 20 February. Scheduled to have taken place on Tuesday 21 February, the show would have marked Hart’s first performance in Egypt.

The cancellation, which was made by the show’s organizers R Productions, was attributed to “logistical issues”.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share with you, due to local logistical issues, the cancellation of our Kevin Hart event scheduled for February 21st, in Cairo,” the statement reads. “You have always shown us continuous support in all our events and for that we’re grateful.”

According to the statement, the organizers are requesting ticket holders to be patient until they receive their refunds.

The comments on the cancelation post were mostly unwelcoming of the American comedian due to previous Afrocentric comments that were allegedly made by him.

However, Hart has so far made no comment.
