THE MARIJUANA-LOGUES is a "hit" unlike anything you have ever seen. Catch the buzz as writers and performers Arj Barker, Doug Benson and Tony Camin riff on the rites and rituals of pot and regale the crowd with the highs and lows of marijuana.

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 MARIJUANA-LOGUES sets herb centerstage, delving into fact and fiction, myths and misnomers alike. Not since the 60s has there been such an exploration of this oft-taboo but totally titillating topic.

Arj Barker, Doug Benson and Tony Camin are national touring stand-up comics as well as accomplished actors.

Shortly after Arj Barker began touring, he was a runner-up in the prestigious Seattle Comedy Competition. In 1997, he took his show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it played to sold-out crowds, and he won the coveted Perrier Best Newcomer Award. Since then, Arj has been seen on "The Tonight Show," "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

If you find that you're saying to yourself "Boy, Doug Benson seems familiar, but I can't quite place him," please allow us to help: One way you might know Doug Benson is if you've ever thought about, read about, heard about or otherwise experienced... marijuana. He's a creator-writer-star of "The Marijuana-Logues," a show that's been a hit (small pun intended) in theaters from Los Angeles to New York; more on that - and the book of the same name - in a moment. Oh, the other way you might've had an opportunity to become aware of Doug Benson is if you've ever watched television. Yeah, you heard right. We are indeed suggesting that Doug's ubiquitous enough on TV - and has been for many years - that if you've flipped on the boob tube at any given moment, there's a good chance you'd see him. We recognize we can't just let a statement like that dangle there, unsupported. So here's your support, you pushy bastard. We don't have enough room here to cite all of his TV credits, but here's a small sampling that suggests the sprawling array of work he's done on the small screen. For your basic cable, let's go with his series regular status on VH-1's "Best Week Ever" (it may go without saying that in this category, he's also starred in his own half-hour special for Comedy Central). For your premium cable, let's see, let's zero in on HBO and mention a coupla Doug's credits here: "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Mr. Show" - merely two of the best, most revered series in the advent of televised comedy shows (okay, he was pretty much just an extra on MR. SHOW, but still!). As for his work on network TV, how does a little show called "Friends" grab you? Not to mention recurring appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." We could go on, but we already have. Still, we should briefly get back to this "Marijuana-Logues" business. When it was hatched by Doug and co-creators Tony Camin and Arj Barker, what in lesser hands might have just been a one-note, one-joke spoof of the then-redhot production "The Vagina Monologues" has since evolved into a redhot (smokin'?) production of its own, including a yearlong stint Off-Broadway at The Actor's Playhouse that drew a bong full of rave reviews, and now there's a CD ("The Marijuana-Logues") and a book ("The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember").

Tony Camin, a San Francisco native, has performed for audiences all over the world. Tony has appeared at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Premium Blend," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and "Tough Crowd." He has also written for several shows on Comedy Central and NBC.
