TUCKER

TUCKER

TUCKER was born to be on stage in front of an audience. Actor, dancer, model, and acrobat, he loves to dazzle the eye. He's performed with big names like Nick Jonas, Jason Derulo, Ariana Grande, and Madona, to name a few. Having discovered the art of burlesque it's his new found love and passion. Natural born stripper and fashionable nudist, his looks dazzle but rarely stay on for long. Prepare yourself to see nothing like you have ever seen before.
