PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Rush Hour” movie star Chris Tucker brings his highly raved about stand-up comedy act to the SugarHouse Casino Event Center on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018, at 9 p.m. Tickets for the show are available for purchase online and cost from $79 to $99.
Presently, Tucker is performing his stand-up comedy tour across the United States and internationally, entertaining audiences with his hilarious act. Best known for his role as Detective James Carter in the action/comedy “Rush Hour” film series with Jackie Chan, Tucker is a major player in the comedy scene.
“We are ecstatic to have Chris Tucker perform his hilarious stand-up act at SugarHouse,” said Wendy Hamilton, general manager of SugarHouse Casino. “What better way to kick off 2018 than with the comedy legend?”
No stranger to the stage, Tucker became a fan favorite performing stand-up on the HBO TV series “Def Comedy Jam” in the 1990s. Since then, his comedy career has risen to new heights, having produced and starred in his first stand-up comedy special, “Chris Tucker Live,” which was exclusively released to Netflix in 2015. In addition to his comedy performances, Tucker has appeared in major film releases, including the Oscar-nominated film “Silver Linings Playbook” with Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. His prominence in the industry began with the 1995 film “Friday,” and has since sparked a box-office career that has made more than $1 billion.
