New York Times Critic’s Pick (2024)

After an eleven week run Off-Broadway in NYC with four extensions and a New York Times Critic’s Pick, the bad boy of clown Zach Zucker makes his SF debut 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.
