Tucker's 2011 stand-up comedy showcase will make 18-stops, kicking off at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach, California, on August 19th and concluding at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California, on November 26th.
The often exuberant and wild Tucker, who has had various roles in films such as Friday, Money Talks and The Fifth Element, announced Monday that he will embark on a comedy tour that will take him to various parts of the United States.
Perhaps Tucker's biggest claim to fame and biggest payday(s) were the trilogy of Rush Hour flicks, in which the comedian co-starred with martial artist extraordinaire Jackie Chan.
The original film, Rush Hour, was a huge commercial success and the 7th top earning film for 1998, with a gross of more than $140 million from box offices across the United States. Tucker was able to parlay the success of the first film into $20 and $25 million salaries for Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3, respectively.
Though he has not done much since the final installment of Rush Hour, Tucker is rumored to be considering a reprisal of his role as “Smokey,” the character he played in the 1995 comedy Friday that starred Ice Cube.
Ice Cube said in 2010 that he would like Tucker to rejoin the cast as Smokey in the fourth and final 'Friday' flick, tentatively titled Last Friday. It remains to be seen whether the comedian will agree to participate in the film, having turned down previous overtures to appear in Next Friday and Friday After Next after becoming a born-again Christian.
Ticket's for Tucker's stand-up comedy tour are slated to go on sale on July 15th at 10:00 a.m. and can be purchased at either Tickemaster.com or LiveNation.com.
