About Chris Tucker
Chris Tucker exploded out of the Def Comedy Jam circuit in the 1990s with a rapid-fire delivery and a pitch-perfect Michael Jackson impression, then crossed over to film stardom as Smokey in “Friday” and the unforgettable Ruby Rhod in “The Fifth Element.” His “Rush Hour” trilogy with Jackie Chan made him one of the biggest comedy stars on the planet. Tucker tours selectively, which makes a three-night theater engagement like this one a genuine event — expect new material, stories from the movie years, and the hyperkinetic stage presence that made him famous.
The venue
The Encore Theater is Wynn Las Vegas’s intimate showroom at 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, built for headliner residencies and limited comedy engagements. Every seat is close to the stage, sightlines are clean throughout, and the room carries the polish Wynn is known for. Because this engagement is phone-free, ushers will guide guests through the Yondr pouch process at entry — your phone stays with you, locked, and is unlocked on exit.
Tickets
Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, the official seller for Encore Theater events, starting at $98.71 for the January 15 performance (checked October 27, 2026). All three nights — January 15, 16 and 17 — are on sale through the same official listing series, with prices varying by date and seat location. Tucker dates characteristically move fast, so buy early from the official seller rather than paying resale markups later.
