Cheech and Chong to light up Fallsview Casino
Reunited comedy duo bring their Light Up Canada tour to Niagara for one night only Nov. 6
NIAGARA FALLS, ON, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ – Fallsview Casino Resort
announced today that Cheech and Chong – one of the most popular comedy duos
of the 1970s and 1980s – will bring their Light Up Canada tour to Fallsview
as part of the resort’s autumn line-up.
The reunited Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong will perform one
show only in Fallsview’s Avalon Theatre on Thursday, November 6, beginning
at 8:30pm.
L.A. native Marin and Edmonton’s Tommy Chong met at a former Vancouver
topless bar that Chong had turned into a comedy club. The duo hit it off
and took their marijuana-themed act on the road, where they were discovered
in 1970 by a record-company executive. They released nine comedy albums in
the ’70s and ’80s, winning a Grammy for their 1973 album Los Cochinos. They
also made 10 movies between 1978 and 1985, including Up In Smoke (1978),
Yellowbeard (1983) and Cheech and Chong’s The Corsican Brothers (1984).
Their box office popularity ranks them among the most successful comedy
duos in the history of the movie business. Continue reading Cheech and Chong to light up Fallsview Casino →
