Le Riot Classique: Cheech & Chong

Coming soon

Archive note

A counterfactual concert poster merging Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong into 18th-century French salon culture. The comedy duo appears among period figures in a classical painting style, lute in hand, surrounded by powdered wigs and candlelight. The tagline 'C'est trop cool pour être vrai' (It's too cool to be true) signals the impossibility of this artifact — a collision between Enlightenment high art and 1970s counterculture comedy. Speaks to collectors of absurdist cultural mashups and those who collect alternate histories of comedy.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.
