Zach Zucker's Jack Tucker: Comedy Standup Hour has set an Off-Broadway encore. The comic will bring his show back for a limited engagement at the Connelly Theater this fall, with performances running September 3-14. The show played SoHo Playhouse earlier this year.

Created and performed by Zucker, the absurdist comedy has previously enjoyed sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Soho Theatre in London, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the New York Comedy Festival.

Within the piece, Zucker play the high-energy Jack Tucker, a standup alter-ego. A "bonafide legend" of the Upstate New York regional theatre scene, Tucker is a comedian's comedian, trapped in a catch-22 between his failing marriage, his crumbling relationship with his son, and a shiver of loan sharks circling.

Jack Tucker: Comedy Standup Hour is directed by Jonny Woolley and co-devised by Woolley and Dylan Woodley. Alchemation and Zucker's Stamptown are producing, in association with SoHo Playhouse.

A graduate of the École Philppe Gaulier, Zucker is an award-winning performer and producer based in London and Los Angeles. He is one half of Norwegian-American comedy duo Zach and Viggo, and runs the late-night variety show Stamptown Comedy Night.
