Actor and comedian Chris Tucker announced his first tour in more than a decade Wednesday morning.

The Legend Tour 2023 will stop at Phoenix’s Arizona Financial Theatre on Oct. 5.

“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. 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,” Tucker said in the tour announcement.

Tucker is best known for playing Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour” trilogy of action movies. He’s also had roles in films like “Friday,” “The Fifth Element” and “Jackie Brown.”
