New York Times Critic’s Pick (2024)
Vulture’s Top Comics You Should Know (2023)
After a seven week run Off-Broadway in NYC with two extensions and a New York Times Critic’s Pick, the bad boy of clown Zach Zucker is coming to Kansas City with his award-winning, alter-ego: Jack Tucker
A well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene, Jack Tucker is the ultimate comedian's comedian. Fighting to save his marriage, regain the respect of his son, and pay off countless loansharks looking to collect their debts, Tucker (Jack) will do whatever it takes to make you laugh. If the joke doesn't land, it's not because it isn't funny - you just didn't get it. Nothing can stop him... except himself.
This show has sold out in New York, London, Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Mumbai, achieving a total of 498 walkouts worldwide.
