Tommy Chong to Dave High: Passing the cannabis comedy torch

It was a touching moment at the Las Vegas Hempfest when comedy legend Tommy Chong passed the cannabis comedy torch to Wayne Darwen, director and star (as Dave High) of the gonzo nonfiction comedy High There.

One of Cheech and Chong’s classic routines is “Dave's Not Here."  The ailing Chong acknowledged that at the Hempfest, and on the cannabis comedy cinema scene, Dave is very much here.

Dave High.

High There "reignites a film genre made popular decades ago by the likes of Cheech and Chong.”

-- Mark Day, The Australian
