The Marijuana-Logues

What:

With the 20th annual Humboldt Hemp Fest right around the corner on the weekend of November 12-14 at the Mateel Community Center in Redway, this special 3-day celebration (a Hemp Fest first) will kick off on Friday, November 12th with the hilarious theatrical comedy, The Marijuana-Logues.  Featuring renowned comedians, Tony Camin, Rob Cantrell, and Dan Gabriel, The Marijuana-Logues played Off-Broadway throughout 2004/05 and has since been touring nationally to great audience acclaim. Told from all points of view, from hazy to highbrow, The Marijuana-Logues never loses the pot…er point, demonstrating that the stories surrounding the bud are as varied as those who indulge. The show sets herb center stage, delving into fact and fiction, myths and misnomers alike.   And, as a special treat, this Hemp Fest comedy kick-off will also feature a stand up set by the evening’s host, Ngaio Bealum, a side-splitting Sacramento based comic known for his pot comedy and activism.
