Star, who is currently headlining The Legend Tour, his first major tour in North America since 2011, said he just wants the audience to laugh and have fun, despite his stand-up comedy show being regarded as edgy.
“That’s my whole goal. You know, I want everybody to come to my show to laugh, have fun, and learn something about what I’m thinking and how I got to my point in life or success,”
He stated.
“It’s not who I am to intentionally offend people, and I try to be conscious of that. If I do, I apologize because my show can be a little edgy, but not too edgy.”
The 52-year-old actor also added that he doesn’t
“need to go too far”
With his stand-up material to ensure that the audience has a good time.
He said,
“I can be funny without that and can be interesting and good without that,” he explained. “I am conscious of not trying to hurt anybody’s feelings in the crowd because I want them to laugh and have fun.”
The actor rose to fame in the ’90s during his performances on the Russell Simmons-produced HBO show
“Def Comedy Jam.”
