Chris Tucker

That's right, Detective James Carter himself performs two rare live gigs in London this month. The 'Rush Hour' and 'Fifth Element' star has been a stand-up mainstay across the pond for the best part of 20 years, performing on 'Def Comedy Jam' during the '90s. Having had a break to try his hand at movie stardom, Tucker returned to the stage in 2011 and is now on a world tour. Loud and brash, he's an in-ya-face stand-up.
