The “Legend Tour” shows—promoted by Live Nation— will kick off Sept. 8 in North Charleston, South Carolina, and will visit other cities such as Phoenix, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Houston and Detroit.

Chris Tucker, who got his start in the early ‘90s as a stand-up comedian, is best known for his role as Smokey in Ice Cube‘s box office hit and film classic “Friday.” He later went on to land other roles in films like “Dead Presidents,” “Money Talks,” and the “Rush Hour” action-comedy film franchise. He recently starred in “Air” alongside Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Viola Davis.
In a statement announcing his tour, Chris noted that he began his “career doing stand-up in comedy clubs and it’s stand-up comedy that prepared me for all of my movie roles.”
“I’m looking forward to getting back to my roots,” he added. “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.”
