Cheech & Chong's "Get It Legal" tour rolls through the Tulsa
Convention Center Ballroom at 8 p.m. on Nov. 18.
Tickets are $39.50, $49.50, $59.50 in advance, plus fees, and go on
sale 4:20 p.m. June 25, via tickets.com, Arby's Box Office, area

Comedy pair Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong will partner with the
Marijuana Policy Project for this tour.
This 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 grossed over $12 million, making them one
of the most sought after shows of 2008-2009.
"We had an amazing time last year reconnecting with each other and
our fans in a way that felt like it was part of our DNA, we were
meant to be together," said Marin in a press statement emailed to the
Tulsa World.
Added Chong, "In 2010 we are looking forward to doing more classic
material that people haven't seen for years and years, performing
more of our songs and introducing some new bits. We've
had material brewing separately for the past 25 years."
The "Get It Legal" tour will make 22 stops across North America,
including Boulder, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Tulsa, Tampa, Louisville,
Detroit, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Fort Worth with Canadian stops in
Regina and Saskatoon with more 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.
Successful beyond their wildest dreams, Richard "Cheech" Marin and
Tommy Chong defined an era with their irreverent, satirical,
counter-culture comedy routines. Together, they represent a lifestyle
and are the originators of the "stoner film" as a genre. Their
phenomenal success included nine hit comedy albums and eight hit
films, breaking box office records, shattering comedy album sales,
garnering multiple Grammy nominations.
