Can you imagine the routine 1970's Cheech and Chong would have made of current America, what with marijuana decriminalized in a dozen states and legal for adults in a couple? The fact is, the inspired combination of East L.A.'s Richard "Cheech" Marin and Canadian Tommy Chong has always been ahead of its time, above and beyond their views on cannabis. Their legendary records-- not to mention movies like Up in Smoke and 2012's Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie-- helped pave the way to the absurdist slice of life comedy of everyone from Seth Rogen to Aziz Anasri.
The duo broke up bitterly during the mid '80's and took different paths, with Marin finding success as an actor in movies like Tin Cup and on TV's Nash Bridges, and Chong solidifying his place as both a comedic actor on "That 70's Shows" and as a marijuana activist. When they joined forces in 2008 and began touring againÑ Cheech had gone through a divorce, and Chong had just gotten out of prisonÑtheir concerts teemed with unbridled joy of two lovers reunited, and there was an immediate sense that the two were going to stick. At this point, Cheech & Chong have found their rhythm together, and ticket holders can expect both throwbacks to the pair's colorful past and surprises that show them to be as ready to push the cultural envelope now as they were in the 1970's.
The show was better than expected. It was fun to relive their routine that made them who they are today. Great show!! Hope they come through again!!
I thought I was a Cheech and Chong fan until i went to this concert. The language and the material was disgustingly filthy. I would not recommend it to anyone. I invited my husband and his best friend and his wife and I was mortified in front of them. It's too bad because my husband and I used to think they were really funny! I don't know when they got so vulgar!
I loved it! Cheech and Chong are soooooooo funny! I would definately recommend waching them in concert!
Really loved the show. I would definately go to see them again. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Ireally loved it. I hope they continue the act.
