    Kevin Hart plays Mohegan Sun

    Comedian Kevin Hart performs at Mohegan Sun Arena.

    Does anyone have more energy than Kevin Hart?

    He fairly bubbles with caffeinated fervor, whether he’s doing comedy on stage or on screen (prime examples of the on-screen hits: “Think Like a Man,” “Ride Along,” the comic roast of Justin Bieber; a not-so-prime one: “Get Hard”).

    More important, Hart is downright hilarious. He is the big man on the comedy campus these days. Over the past few years, he’s become a standard by which other comics are judged.

    Good news for fans around here: He just started his latest stand-up tour, which lands Saturday at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Critics who hit his early shows have been enthusiastic and have reported about where he mines humor — everywhere from meeting up with a raccoon in his driveway to ordering from Starbucks.

    Also, a warning: on the tour so far, there’s been heavy emphasis on the fact that videotaping, texting and so on are prohibited. As in, you could get booted for those offenses. So beware.
