COMEDIAN CHRIS TUCKER IS COMING TO HARD ROCK LIVE ON MARCH 28


Gary, IN (December 2, 2025) Comedian Chris Tucker is coming to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana’s Hard Rock Live venue on Saturday, March 28. Doors open at 7 p.m. General on sale begins this Friday, December 5, at 10 a.m. Central Time.


Chris Tucker is an internationally recognized, award-winning actor, producer, and comedian best known for his unforgettable role as Detective James Carter in the blockbuster Rush Hour film franchise. With a career spanning over three decades, Tucker has proven himself as both a comedic powerhouse and a compelling dramatic actor.


He made his big-screen debut in the cult classic Friday (1995), opposite Ice Cube, and went on to star in hits including Money Talks, Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, and Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Tucker delivered one of his most powerful dramatic performances in the Hughes brothers’ Dead Presidents, portraying a troubled Vietnam veteran — a role that showcased his ability to bring emotional depth and grit to the screen. He further demonstrated his dramatic range in David O. Russell’s Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook and Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. Most recently, he appeared opposite Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Viola Davis in the critically acclaimed Amazon Studios film AIR.


Tucker first broke through as a fan favorite on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and continues to draw sold-out crowds worldwide. His Netflix stand-up special Chris Tucker Live marked a major return to his comedic roots, and in 2023 he launched The Legend Tour, his most expansive stand-up tour in over a decade, earning rave reviews across North America and beyond.


Outside of entertainment, Tucker is a devoted humanitarian, philanthropist, and global traveler. Through his nonprofit, The Chris Tucker Foundation, he supports youth and education initiatives around the world. Whether on stage or screen, Chris Tucker remains one of the most distinctive and beloved talents in entertainment.
