Following a brief Intetnet presale, tickets went on sale Feb. 3 for an April 10 appearance by Comedy Central's newest breakout standup star, Daniel Tosh, at Johnny Mercer Theatre.
According to Civic Center director Cindy Ogletree, it was sold out by noon. So a second show was added.
Focusing on Internet videos, the comedian's series Tosh.0 is in its fourth season. According to Comedy Central, it's the highest-rated cable comedy show among viewers 18-34, and that's where the money is, folks.
Tickets for Tosh's second show - at 9:30 p.m. - are $39.50, $49.50, and $59.50, at etix.com.
Don't stop!
