Per reports it was during a part of the show when Tosh asked for topics. Apparently someone suggested rape. Her comment was directed toward the open discussion, not necessarily Tosh specifically or during his bit.

If that is true, ok, but I am sort of over than anyway. I have just been trying to figure out why a comedy club put a kitchen in the middle of the audience.

As for Tosh's comments, I am just disappointed because it wasn't that funny.

That's according to Tosh and the club owner.
I'd feel the same way I do now. I don't think any of the women I would attend a comedy show with would be dumb enough to yell out ethical advice at a comedy show.

That's a good point too. It's hard to envision anyone I know saying something. The response would be to leave if it bothered them.

I am. I said that I don't feel the need to joke about race. Someone else? That's their deal.

His whole act is making people uncomfortable with his humor.

Frankly the more edgy the better b/c it shows you how seriously some people take themselves.

Bitch needs to go make Tosh a sammich. :p

Seriously though, if you don't like something, walk out, or just don't go. I am sure others were probably offended in the audience as well, but you don't see them going on a blog and boo-hooing to everyone that their feelings were slightly compromised by a FUCKING COMEDIAN.

I was duped by my girlfriend in HS to go watch The Crying Game in the theater. I was offended by seeing a huge penis on the screen of a transsexual/vestite (whatever) and I got up and walked out (along with about 10 other guys). None of complained to the movie theater that our feelings were hurt, or that we were offended. No, we just hung out in the lobby waiting for our dates to finish the movie. That's it.

This country needs to get a grip and a sense of humor.

My impression:

If you're in the audience and you interact with a comedian on stage at all (let alone heckling or anything like that) you have to be ready to accept what might come your way. And what's unfair about the situation is leaving the club with your tail between your legs and then hiding behind the internet to give a parting shot. That's gutless. Either sit there and take it, show a sense of humor and realize it's (probably) not personal - or leave the club and put it behind you.

I went to a show about six years ago and saw Tracy Morgan absolutely destroy a woman in the audience after she started making faces and gestures at him because she expected more of a PG-13 rated act. He reduced her to tears - she couldn't crawl out of that place fast enough. That is all in-bounds when you go to a show and start interacting with the person on-stage.

I think comedians in general should have the latitude to explore all kinds of topics, regardless of how unsavory the rest of us might find them in their everyday conversation.

I think that Tosh's biggest sin in this case was not that he engaged the suggested topic of rape and directed a joke toward the woman in the audience who objected to it - it's that he was probably unfunny while doing it.
