Given everything that’s gone on this year, a little comedy goes a long way. Kevin Hart has not one, but two movies coming your way in 2015 but he’s still on his standup grind.

He’s headlining several shows before the end of the year, so if you’re lucky enough to have him in your town, get ready to laugh it up.

If music’s more your thing, the Soul Train Music Awards repeats this weekend with a reunited Jodeci who did not disappoint.

And if you can get out to see them live, Fantasia, R. Kelly and Mint Condition are all on a stage this weekend.

Here’s what else is going on this weekend. However you choose to bring in the New Year, be safe and Happy 2015!
