Sunday
night Chris Tucker brought an energy-packed show to The Pearl at Palms Casino
Resort. The comedian who has been in the news the last year or so for tax
issues opened up the show talking about his IRS issues saying that this tour
“should be called the IRS Tour because they’re getting all the money!” The
actor and comedian who was clad in the same outfit he wears in the show ads
(adding that he dressed the same because he wanted the audience to know it was
really him!), had the crowd laughing the whole night with his physical brand of
comedy, impressions and larger-than-life stage presence.

George Wallace was in attendance and caught up with Chris, along with rapper
T.I. and his wife Tiny backstage at The Pearl following the show.

ABOUT
CHRIS TUCKER:
Chris
Tucker is best known for his role of Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour”
film series. Starting his career as a stand up comedian, Tucker’s bold sense of
humor landed him a spot on “Def Comedy Jam” where he frequently performed in
the 1990s.
The
buzz that Tucker garnered from his many appearances as a stand up helped open
doors in the film industry. Following his film debut in 1994’s “House Party 3,”
Tucker achieved ‘cult classic’ status as Smokey in the stoner comedy “Friday.”
Tucker’s next big movie role was in the avant-garde film “The Fifth Element.”
Tucker’s
film career reached soaring heights as the star of the “Rush Hour” blockbuster
film series. The original, along with two sequels, grossed more than $500
million in the U.S. The success of the films enabled Tucker to negotiate a
salary of $25 million, making him one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood
for “Rush Hour 3.”
Tucker
recently enjoyed a well-received performance opposite Jennifer Lawrence,
Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in the David O. Russell directed film “Silver
Linings Playbook.” Tucker continues to tour performing stand-up comedy around
the world.
