“I started my career doing stand-up in comedy clubs and it’s stand-up comedy that prepared me for all of my movie roles. I’m looking forward to getting back to my roots. I love performing live, there’s nothing like the energy of a live crowd and making people laugh. I’m excited to be back out on tour,” the Rush Hour comedian stated.
Tucker, 52, made his comedic debut in 1992 on the HBO comedy series Def Comedy Jam. He later moved onto films, including The Fifth Element and Money Talks. However he is best known for his role in Friday and the Rush Hour action-comedy film franchise. He recently starred in Air alongside Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Viola Davis.
