Tucker plans world comedy tour

Rush Hour star Chris Tucker is set to remind fans he's a stand-up comic first and foremost by embarking on a global comedy tour.

The movie star insists once promotional work for Rush Hour 3 is complete he'll start plans for an ambitious stand-up tour, which will be filmed at certain stops for a performance movie.

He said: "A lot of people don't know I started out doing stand-up comedy so I'm doing a stand-up 20 city tour, then worldwide.

"I'll also be filming a stand-up comedy movie like Eddie Murphy did with Raw."
