Grammy Award-winning comedian Tommy Chong is legendary for his contribution to American counterculture as part of the comedy team Cheech & Chong. During their reign, the twosome recorded six gold comedy albums, including the 1974 Grammy winner “Los Cochinos,” and starred in seven films, most of which Chong co-wrote and directed. After “Up in Smoke,” Cheech & Chong starred in a string of successful films that remain huge video rentals and still air on cable television. Chong went solo in the 1990 film “Far Out Man,” which he wrote and directed, and has appeared in over 20 movies with screenwriter, director and producer credits to his name. His additional television credits include a guest-starring appearance on the series “Dharma & Greg.”

Chong and his wife Shelby are currently touring the country as a comedy duo. When performing at a music venue or festival, Chong and the Family Stoned Band, featuring sons Paris and Boo (Gilbran), perform classic songs from the Cheech & Chong era. Chong lives in Los Angeles with his wife and family.
