Edgy comedian Daniel Tosh to stop at Mershon Auditorium in June
During a run of 2024 dates, comedian, host, writer and producer Daniel Tosh will visit nine cities including Columbus, where he'll appear at Mershon Auditorium, 1871 N. High St., on June 16.
Tosh is best-known as the creator and host of "Tosh .0," which aired on Comedy Central from 2009-2020, one of the network's longest-running comedy series.
Tickets will be available beginning with pre-sales starting at 1 p.m. Wednesday and running throughout the week before the general on-sale beginning at 1 p.m. Friday at livenation.com.

Tosh moved to LA to pursue a comedy career after earning a degree in marketing from the University of Central Florida in the mid '90s. A 2001 performance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" gave his career a boost that eventually led to his own Comedy Central Presents special two years later.
Comedy Central subsequently released Tosh's debut album, "True Stories I Made Up," in 2005 and he has done three critically acclaimed hourlong specials for the network, "Completely Serious" (2007), "Happy Thoughts" (2011) and "People Pleaser" (2016).
On "Tosh .0," he showcased internet video clips accompanied by his trademark envelope-pushing, non-politically correct humor. At its height, the series was the most-watched cable TV show by 18- to 34-year-old men.
Tosh, 48, can currently be heard and seen as host of "Tosh Show," an iHeart Media video podcast available on Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
