“420 Funny: A Very Pot Friendly Variety Show”
Since the ’70s people from all over the world have gotten together on April 20th to celebrate marijuana and no one can agree why. Is it because 420 is the police code for marijuana? Is it because there are 420 chemicals in marijuana? Is it because 420 Mars Bar wrappers were found in Jerry Garcia’s belly button when he died? Who cares! The UCBT thinks 420 is all about getting high and laughing so we’ve compiled some of the funniest pot lovers around for 420 Funny: A Very Pot Friendly Variety Show. With stand-up, sketch, short films and just plain stoney things from:
Matt Besser (Upright Citizens Brigade, Crossballs)
Doug Benson (The Marijuanalogues, Best Week Ever)
Tim & Eric (Tom Goes to the Mayor)
Brandon Johnson (Punk’d)
Joe Kelly (writer, Saturday Night Live)
Rob Huebel (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
Tami Sagher (writer, Mad TV)
And many more
