Review: Tosh Live
5 stars
The star of Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0,” Daniel Tosh stopped in Indianapolis on Tuesday, April 17, as part of his “Tosh Tour Twenty Twelve.” Comedian Kyle Kinane, ranked No. 5 on AskMen.com’s Top 10 Emerging Comedians in 2008, opened for Tosh. Although “Tosh.0” is a show based on commentary about viral videos, “Tosh Tour Twenty Twelve” presented a traditional stand-up comedy show format. Tosh stuck to his true identity as a comedian and certainly did not hold back.
His jokes were as crude and harsh live as they are in the show, except in this case, he also could say things too crude to be shown on TV. He had no limitations and said that if anyone in the audience had ever said, “There’s nothing funny about [fill in the] blank,” then he and that audience member would never be friends. Tosh was hilarious as always, but the show would have been even more enjoyable if some of the audience members had stopped trying to talk to the performer during his routine.
