Hellooo *checks hand* New York City!!!
Popping in to share that Older Brother of the Mailing List, Zach Zucker, makes his Off-Broadway debut as New York comedian Jack Tucker in just three short weeks.
Show Blurb:
A well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene, Jack Tucker is the ultimate comedian's comedian.
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.
The show infamously received 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1-star reviews during its international run in 2019.
Here is a 4 1/2 Star review from Steve Bennett at Chortle, a well respected comedy reviewer who called the show, “a raucously hilarious 60 minutes”.
And here is a 1 Star review from Rob Young of the Scottish Field, who said things like,
“There is nothing so lacking in warmth, so lazy, and so utterly repugnant as Zach Zucker’s obnoxious New Yoiker alter-ego assaulting the senses for an hour.”
and,
“He is a mask of inadequacy hiding an untalented and cynical act.”
In other words, you really just have to see it for yourself.
Here’s the official Off-Broadway announcement trailer made by renowned animator Dylan Woodley (Adult Swim, Forbes 30 Under 30, 2024 Golden Spirit Award nominee)
Talk about brand alignment!
And here are some of my favorite Jack Tucker moments from 2023:

#2: That time Jack’s attempt at crowdwork turned into a 3 minute sing-along:
#3: That time Jonny played the wrong sound cue and it became a running gag:
