The Algonquin Commons Theatre is proud to present Grammy Award winning comedian Tommy Chong for the second installment of the 2016/2017 ACT Comedy Series!
Tommy Chong is legendary for his invaluable contribution to American counter-culture as part of the iconic comedy duo Cheech & Chong. During their reign, the twosome recorded six gold comedy albums, including the 1973 Grammy winner “Los Cochinos,” and starred in eight films, most of which Chong co-wrote and directed. Chong has also starred, most notably, as “Leo” on FOX’S “That 70’s Show,” and has guest starred on ABC’s “Dharma & Greg” and “The George Lopez Show.”
Chong recently released his new book entitled Cheech and Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography about the exploits of the infamous duo’s smoke-filled world. Earlier this year, the highly anticipated, award winning documentary A/K/A TOMMY CHONG was released worldwide. The documentary features the journey that Chong took after a fully armed SWAT team raided the comedian’s home in February of 2003.
Tommy is also gearing up for the premiere of his online talk show, “Almost Legal With Tommy Chong,” set to come out on Friday, October 23rd. After battling and defeating prostate cancer, Tommy released a statement in June of 2015 stating that he has now been diagnosed with rectal cancer and is seeking ongoing treatments with the help of various therapies, including hemp oil. Never one to give up on a fight, Tommy is an avid speaker and pro activist for the medical wonders and potential health benefits of using marijuana.
