Tommy Chong will be forever remembered for many things: selling bongs, his role on That '70s Show and his short stint as C. Thomas Howell's father-in-law. Mostly, he'll be known as one half of the legendary 1970s comedy duo Cheech and Chong. Thirty years later, Chong has eighty-sixed Cheech in favor of his wife, Shelby Chong, whom you might remember from bit parts in some of Tommy's films. The pair is touring the states with a comedy act sure to be memorable, providing you don't put one of Tommy's bongs to use beforehand. Tommy Chong and Shelby perform at 7 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Saturday at Hyenas, 2525 E. Arkansas Lane in Arlington. Tickets are $10 (plus two-drink minimum). Call 817-226-5233 or visit hyenascomedynightclub.com.
Sat., June 17, 7, 9 & 11 p.m.
