In “Jack Tucker: Comedy Standup Hour,” Zucker takes on the character of Jack Tucker, a standup comedian who hails from the Upstate New York regional theater scene. Tucker is portrayed as a “bonafide legend” within his community, but beneath the surface, he grapples with personal turmoil. The character’s struggles include a failing marriage, a strained relationship with his son, and the pressure of loan sharks.
“Jack Tucker: Comedy Standup Hour” saw sold-out audiences at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and has since had successful runs at London’s Soho Theatre, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the New York Comedy Festival. SoHo Playhouse also hosted the show earlier this year.
