LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Award-winning actor, producer and comedian Chris Tucker announced plans for his first major North American tour in more than a decade.
Produced by Live Nation, Tucker’s The Legend Tour 2023 will get underway at North Charleston Performing Arts Center in Charleston, South Carolina, with 28 additional shows at theaters across North America before wrapping at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on January 12th.
“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.” said Chris Tucker.
After launching a career in stand-up comedy in Atlanta in the early 1990s, Tucker went on to box office fame as the comedic sidekick in films such as Fifth Element, Rush Hour and Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, among others. In 2021, he was named the official ambassador for the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, which focuses on providing assistance for inner-city youth facing homelessness, child abuse, and hunger.
