27 Jan 2010 - "It doesn't really bother me at all," Tommy Chong says about sexual misconduct charges which led to the suspension of MPP executive director Rob Kampia. Cheech & Chong were honored at the MPP's recent 15th anniversary gala in Washington, DC. Speaking on Marijuana Radio, Chong made the following statement abut the MPP scandal: "It's ridiculous. It shows that Rob is successful anyway. When people start worrying about who you're fucking you've really made it to the top. Look at Tiger Woods. Rob's in good company. It wasn't criminal. It just came out that these girls all quit in protest because Rob diddled some girl. It doesn't really bother me at all. Maybe I'm just hardened from all the Republican scandals."

It's funny, not just a little funny, but a lot funny. The Actor's Playhouse is a small venue so every seat is a good seat. Essentially, it's a parody of the Vaginia-Logues. Three stoners, on stage at the same time, read their journals. The show is constantly evolving. The performers add new jokes daily and often improv.
