Comedian Tommy Chong, best known as the dazed and confused hippie sidekick to comedy partner Cheech Marin, surprisingly has a background as a country-western and R&B guitarist in Canada’s Dog Patch. Son of Chinese and Scotch-Irish parents, Chong played in Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers, where he co-wrote ‘Does Your Mama Know About Me’, later recorded by the Jackson 5. In the 1960s, Chong launched his comedy career in the least likely of places – a lapdance bar owned by his brother – before going on to become a comedic icon of the stoned era.

Respekt Ball
24 03 2010Balls are big in the Czech Republic – the social high point of the winter season, actually. Dating back to the Habsburg days, courtesy of Vienna’s upper classes, formal dress balls are a much-revered tradition. Which is probably why everyone lets their hair down for this one, held at the Archa Theatre. Unlike the stuffy dances held at old-world venues, the Respekt Ball is named after an irreverent Czech magazine and features the best of local rock bands. Accompanying the waltzes tonight will be MTO Universal, the Ondrej Stindl band and other surprises the theatre is keeping quiet about.
