CHRIS TUCKER LIVE to Play The Fox Theatre 10/5

Armed with a trademarked style, incomparable delivery, impeccable comedic timing and a signature voice, comedian Chris Tucker brings his 2013 World Tour to the Fabulous Fox Theatre on October 5!

In the early '90s, Tucker became one of the top performing comedians, gaining the national spotlight after he was invited to perform on Russell Simmons's HBO showcase Def Comedy Jam. In movies like Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown and the cult comedy classic Friday, Tucker stood out as a comedic actor. But it was his co-starring role in the 1998 action comedy blockbuster Rush Hour, alongside Jackie Chan, that turned the comedian into an international star. The action comedy would transfix audiences and surpass box office records, making the feature length film a certified success. The widely popular movie spawned an even more popular sequel further establishing Tucker as one of the highest paid actors in history. The third installment of the mega hit went on to debut as the number one movie in America. Tucker is also a humanitarian and spends much of his spare time traveling and working with his foundation. He recently appeared in the Oscar nominated film Silver Lining Playbook with Robert DeNiro, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

Tickets go on sale Friday, August 2 at 10am online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.
