Getting your Tosh’s worth and bad tires
Tosh… hmm. Well, I’ll be honest and say that the show was a disappointment. His set and the opener, Tommy Johnagin were great. I laughed my ass off. Here’s the problem – the doors opened at 7pm, Tommy took the stage at 7:15pm and Abbe and I were outside walking back to our car by 8:20pm. $130 (including parking) for two tickets and that’s all I get? I am glad that Abbe and I got a night out together and saw someone we both really enjoy. And for the short amount of time that the show was on stage – it was great.
And honestly, I don’t blame Daniel Tosh for the shortness of the show. I still contend he is one of my 3 favorite comics right now. He’s insanely overbooked right now (there was a second show that night at 10pm) and I don’t know between a poorly booked tour (seriously, why Reading?) and his show – he is probably ready to get off the road as soon as possible.
Afterwards, we headed to Blind Hartman’s Tavern to meet up with our friends Holly, Jim, and a few other new friends. The food was decent and the drinks were great! We were heading to Jim and Holly’s to hang out when I spotted a really flat tire on my car. Jim was awesome to help me get the tire changed (and holy shit was that thing tough to pry/kick/karate chop off. Abbe, Jim, and I headed to their home and had a great time. It’s always really cool when you can hang at a completely new friend’s home and feel that comfortable.
On our way home, Abbe and I heard some thing and pulled over. The spare tire had nearly wiggled the lugs off. After a big “WHEW!” I tightened everything down and we got home. The ride home this morning was not fun – we stopped about every 20 mins to check the lugs. We’re home safe, but yeah… that was not fun.

I saw the tour’s opening show up in Boston, and it kind of annoys me what he did in Reading. The opener was hilarious, and Tosh was as well, but Tosh was on the stage for well over an hour. We could definitely see that he was still working things out, and that probably added to the length of the show. His thank you and appreciation for everyone who watches Tosh.0 was probably 15 minutes in and of itself. But that’s inexcusable that the whole show combined for Reading was an hour or so.
