Everyone's favourite stoners Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong recently announced a new comedy tour, with a stop in Saskatoon on Jan. 30 at TCU Place. The tour, called Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal, isn't just about comedy. According to a news release, the performers decided to partner with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) to bring attention to "the harm caused by marijuana prohibition and the urgent need for different, more sensible marijuana laws." The new shows are a follow-up to last year's Light Up American reunion tour, the comedians' first time together in 25 years. Opening acts include DJ Joey Mojo and comedian Shelby Chong. Tickets go on sale on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr
