nabraxas Posted February 27, 2009 Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are coming down under. The “dopiest” comedians of the 70s and 80s will make Australia a part of their reunion tour. Cheech and Chong epitomized the drug induced 70s with a series of comedy albums and films that are now cult classics. Their characters like Sister Mary Elephant and Basketball Jones where known by any teenage kid from the 70s who had even walked past a joint. After they broke up in the 80s they went their separate ways. Well, Tommy went to jail for starters. Cheech however became somewhat of a mainstream actor. He is seen most recently starring in Judging Amy. (He plays Ignacio Messina and becomes the love interest of Maxine Gray (Tyne Daly, who was also Lacey in Cagney & Lacey). After decades apart, Cheech & Chong first got back together to play themselves in an episode of South Park. They had planned the reunion tour back in 2003, but Tommy was busted (for drugs of course) and went to jail. They will light up Australia on: April 15, Sydney, Enmore April 17, Melbourne, Palais April 24, Adelaide, Festival Theatre April 26, Perth, Perth Convention April 30, Brisbane, Performing Arts Centre http://www.undercover.com.au/News-Story.aspx?id=7461 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten Posted March 12, 2009 I am curious how they got visas? Surely with a recent drug conviction that would have sent up flags. And I have seen much less questionable people being rejected on the basis of being undesirable. If you want to go and see them then maybe wait till they are in the country before forking out for tix.
