Comedian Chris Tucker returns to road after a decade with a stop in Irving
Chris Tucker will perform at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on November 1.
Comedian Chris Tucker will make The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving one of the stops on his first major tour in North America since 2011, performing at the venue on Wednesday, November 1.
The 30-city Legend Tour 2023 will kick off in Charleston, South Carolina on September 8, continuing through January 12.
In Texas, in addition to the Irving date, Tucker will also perform in Houston on November 4.
"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," said Tucker in a statement. "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."
Tucker’s career began in the early 1990s when he became a favorite on Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Comedy Jam. He is best known for his role in the Rush Hour action-comedy film franchise, as well as Friday and The Fifth Element.
He's been in only a few films since the Rush Hour series ended, but recently had a prominent role opposite Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Viola Davis in Air.
Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning on Thursday, August 10. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, August 11 at 10 am at Ticketmaster.com.
