Comedy duo Cheech and Chong started their career in the black nightclub circuit of L.A., which strongly influenced their humor. They often performed at clubs, including the Troubadour, a popular venue for artists looking to secure record contracts. The duo spoke about their strong connection to the black community and how it formed their initial core audience. An encounter with Lou Adler, one of the world's biggest record producers, led to their first album deal for $1,000 each. Their comedy albums, unlike many traditional acts which were recorded live, featured studio bits which let them experiment more with sound effects and other voices. The famous “Dave’s Not Here” skit on their first record came about spontaneously during a rehearsal. After a successful first album, their popularity grew, with “Dave’s Not Here” becoming exceptionally favored amongst DJs.
