Vulture’s Top Comics You Should and Will Know (2023)

Fresh off sold-out shows in London, Edinburgh, LA, Australia and India, the bad boy of clown Zach Zucker makes his Off-Broadway debut with his award-winning high-energy, absurdist, standup 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 the 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.
