It’s been 14 years since Martin Lawrence’s 2002 Runteldat special and while Martin has made fans laugh in various comedies since then, many have longed for the comedian to take the stage for another stand-up special. Now, the wait is over.
SHOWTIME and Lawrence announced yesterday that the network and comedian have teamed up in a new special, Martin Lawrence Doin’ Time: Uncut.
Filmed live at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, the special will touch on Hollywood, sex and relationships, President Obama, Bill Cosby, and more.

The special comes on the heels of Lawrence’s national tour and will premiere Friday, September 9 at 9p.m. ET.
