Tickets for the their April 30 stop at the Bass Performance Hall will go on sale on Friday.

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong announce their 2010 North American Tour, Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal, partnering with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) to promote policy change through laughter. The Live Nation-produced tour will kick off on January 16, 2010 in Boulder, Colorado at the Macky Auditorium, and will stop in Fort Worth at the Bass Performance Hall on April 30, 2010. Tickets for this must-see comedy tour of the year go on sale in select markets (including Dallas-Fort Worth) beginning at 4:20 p.m. on November 20 at LiveNation.com.

Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal is the follow-up to their hugely successful reunion tour, Cheech & Chong: Light Up America, where they performed together for the first time in over 25 years. The pop culture duo performed for more than 100 audiences and quickly became one of the most sought after shows of 2008-2009. Additionally, their performance in San Antonio was filmed by the Weinstein Company and will be released as Cheech and Chong’s: Hey Watch This on 4/20 of next year.

The Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal tour is scheduled to make 17 stops across North America including Boulder, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Bellingham, Portland, Santa Barbara, Tampa, Minneapolis, Rockford, Detroit, Louisville, DC, Bakersfield, Phoenix, and Fort Worth with Canadian stops in Regina and Saskatoon. Additional dates to be announced soon. Chong’s wife and comedy partner, Shelby Chong, will open all dates on the tour as well as DJ-Joey Mojo. Fan club members will have access to presale tickets beginning November 17 at CheechandChongTour.com.

Because of the recent attention surrounding the laws in respect to marijuana, Cheech and Chong decided to name their upcoming tour “Get It Legal” in order to raise awareness for this important topic. By teaming up with a marijuana policy reform group such as MPP, Cheech and Chong are fusing comedy and activism as a means of bringing attention to the harm caused by marijuana prohibition and the urgent need for different, more sensible marijuana laws. “Want to make a change? Come to a Cheech and Chong show,” says Tommy Chong. “It’s time to get it legal, before it’s too late.”
