“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,” Tucker said 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. I’m excited to be back out on tour.”
After launching his career in stand-up, Tucker became a box office star in the late-1990s and early-2000s thanks to roles in The Fifth Element, Jackie Brown, Friday, Dead Presidents, and the Rush Hour trilogy. However, over the past 15 years, Tucker has only appeared in three films: 2012’s Silver Linings Playbook, 2016’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, and, most recently, 2023’s Air.
In 2015, Tucker released his first-ever stand-up special on Netflix.
