Cheech & Chong

On the short list of comedy’s all-time greatest duos, Cheech & Chong have been making people laugh until they cry (or puke) since breaking out in the seventies with immortal routines like “Basketball Jones.” Thirty years later, and after releasing classic films like “Up in Smoke,” the legends are back on-stage once again.

The duo’s current comedy tour Cheech & Chong: Up in Smoke is the follow-up to their hugely successful reunion tours, Cheech & Chong: Light Up America (2009-2010) and Cheech & Chong: Light Up!, tours which brought the performers together for the first time in over 25 years. The pop culture duo performed for more than 100 audiences, grossing eight figures, making them one of the most sought after shows of 2008-2009. Additionally, their performance in San Antonio, Texas was filmed by the Weinstein Company : Cheech and Chong’s: Hey Watch This was released on 4/20/2010. The duo then followed up with Cheech & Chong’s Animated Movie, some of their favorite sketches made into animated form.

In select cities, the Up in Smoke Tour pairs Cheech & Chong with musical legends WAR, for an all-night integrated jam of music and comedy.

Successful beyond their wildest dreams, Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong defined an era with their hilariously irreverent, satirical, counter-culture, no-holds-barred comedy routines. Together, they represent a lifestyle and are the originators of the “stoner film” as a genre. Their phenomenal success includes nine hit comedy albums and eight hit films; breaking box office records, shattering comedy album sales, garnering multiple Grammy nominations and mesmerizing fans for years.
