Cheech and Chong Surprise SXSW With Comedy Appearance at Club as Pair Shop ‘Last Movie’ Documentary


Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong surprised the SXSW festival Monday night with a brief club performance as the comedy legends shop a documentary film.

“Holy s—,” an audience member shouted as Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong took the stage at C-Boy’s Heart and Soul, an off-the-beaten path Austin nightclub that hosted a brief reunion by the legendary stoner comedy duo, who came to SXSW to shop their feature documentary “ Cheech and Chong ‘s Last Movie.” Chong, 85, who wore a varsity sports jacket bedecked with marijuana leaf motifs and “Team 420” emblazoned on the back, changed it out for an electric Gibson that was camera-ready to play. The documentary, directed by David Bushell, will have its world premiere at SXSW on March 12 at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas.
