Stand-up comedian Chris Tucker is set to return to the stage for two performances at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on October 27th and 28th.

He has become best known for his role as Detective James Carter in the Rush Hour film series, in which he starred alongside Jackie Chan.

Tucker became a staple of the Def Comedy Jam circuit in the 1990s - and his rise to fame was cemented with appearances in the film Friday and Luc Beeson's The Fifth Element.

There is nothing laid-back about his intense stage performances, as he delivers material with characteristic speed and wit in a high pitched tone.

Entry for the show costs $62.70 - and the best seats in the house are on offer for $88.

Visitors to the city could stay at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel Boston, which is handily located just one mile up away from the venue - ad this can be reached by heading south down Tremont Street.
