Comedian Chris Tucker announces Fallsview Casino show

International award-winning actor and comedian Chris Tucker will bring “Chris Tucker: Live in Concert” to Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort in Ontario on Jan. 24, 2020.

Though best known for playing the role of Det. James Carter in the “Rush Hour” film series with Jackie Chan, Tucker has acted in numerous movies, including “Money Talk”; the cult classics “Friday,” with Ice Cube, and Luc Besson's “The Fifth Element”; and the Oscar-nominated “Silver Linings Playbook.” To date, Tucker has starred in films that have collectively grossed more than $1 billion in box office sales worldwide.
