LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong announced plans Monday for a 2010 North American comedy tour called "Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal."

The performers are partnering with the Marijuana Policy Project to "promote policy change through laughter," organizers said.

The Live Nation-produced tour is to kick off Jan. 16 in Boulder, Colo., at the Macky Auditorium.

Tickets are to go on sale in select markets beginning at 4:20 p.m. Nov. 20 at LiveNation.com.

"Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal" is the follow-up to their hugely successful reunion tour "Cheech & Chong: Light Up America," for which they performed together for the first time in more than 25 years in front of more than 100 audiences in 2008-09.

Their show in San Antonio, Texas, was filmed by the Weinstein Co. and will be released as "Cheech and Chong's: Hey Watch This" next spring.

"We had an amazing time last year reconnecting with each other and our fans in a way that felt like it was part of our DNA; we were meant to be together," Cheech Marin said in a statement.

"In 2010 we are looking forward to doing more classic material that people haven't seen for years and years, performing more of our songs and introducing some new bits. We've had material brewing separately for the past 25 years," added Tommy Chong.
