Tosh is the new Dane Cook? No way, Tosh is 300x better than Dane Cook. I wonder how many of you have actually watched his stand-up or just saw his show.
His show is hilarious too, I'm not sure what the rest of you are watching. The first couple episodes sucked, but it's gotten tremendously better since then.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
I've been into Tosh for about four five years now. His stand up is pretty great, that's what got me into him, not Tosh.0 If you haven't listened to his stand up, check out True Stories I made Up, it's worth a listen. I saw him live about three years when he came to my town, and I was laughing the entire time during his show. He stuck around afterwards to sign autographs and get pictures with people, he was really nice and waited until everyone got to him. I watch Tosh.0 here and there, I don't make a point to watch it every week but I for sure still listen to True Stories I Made Up. His stand up is what makes me still love him, not his T.V. show. And I really hope people don't start comparing Tosh too that loud mouth over caffeinated unoriginal jerkstore Dane Cook.

I would check out Daniel Tosh on any stage/tent. His jokes are funny, his delivery is flawless, and he keeps up with current events/trends so his material is always fresh. His show is funny enough but his stand up is better and I think Roo would be a great fit. Sometimes you just need to be "in the right frame of mind" to laugh at stupid things.

agreed. He'd easily have enough Bonnaroo observations for some hilarious material. I would, for the first time, make a trip to the Comedy Tent.

Well I would hope so. Any comedian worth their salt can do that. Its their job.
Yeah, people love him, he would draw huge (and likely send many people away for filling capacity), but I wouldn't even think about wasting my time... I think dude is one of the most overrated stand up comedians in the last decade.

I think Daniel is a high probability at this point he is playing Atlanta Cobb Galleria center on june 15th after Bonnaroo. Most artists that play bonnaroo hit Atlanta leading up to bonnaroo or right after leaving bonnaroo
Daniel Tosh is doing a show the 13th in Ohio and the 15th in Atlanta. That's either a day break for an 8 hour drive or a spot in The Comedy Tent on the 14th.
Be kinda of odd logistics wise if he did it. The only day he can do sets at Bonnaroo would be the 14th (on Friday) which means he would be going from Cincinnati (13th) to Manchester (14th) to Atlanta (15th) then back to Tennessee to Knoxville (16th) then back down to Georgia to Athens (17th)
It is possible, and looks kinda suspicious since the one day he has open right now is the day bonnaroo biggest comedian act did last summer (Aziz.) I will end up going to his show in Roanoke the Tuesday after roo so it don't matter to me. If he is there then I can just focus on the music. Really the only top comedian I can see bonnaroo getting and me going to see is Louis C.K.
Went to Aziz last summer at roo, and had a lot of fun...but it pretty much took up the whole day. The line was gigantic to get a ticket. Tosh is just as popular as Aziz if not more...so if he is there on Friday and you want go you better plan on it being whole day thing waiting in line to get a ticket and seeing the set.

I decided not to go last year because of how crazy the line was. I can only imagine it being worse for Daniel Tosh. I wish they had a better system for the Comedy Tent tickets.
I did not know anyone thought Daniel Tosh was funny.
Season 5 of his show started last night, and you didn't think "anyone" thought he was funny? I mean yes, he is a snarky asshole, but you have to realize the dude has mass appeal
02/08 Tool 02/11 Jeff Mangum 02/17 of Montreal 02/29 Blind Pilot 03/31 The Naked & The Famous 05/14 M83 and I Break Horses 05/19 Flaming Lips, Young the Giant, Dawes and AWOLNATION 06/07 Bonnaroo 2012!!! 06/13 Roger Waters 07/28 Toadies
If there is a big comedian I really hope he plays a Main stage.. I wanted to see Conan, Louis Black and Aziz.. but the tent is always filled and you have to skip like a bunch of shows just to wait in line to see them. No bueno.
Tosh's tour dates have a show every day except for Friday June 14. He is in OH on the 13th and Atlanta on the 15th so he would be passing near the area, but the Roo comedy headliner normally performs at least 2 sets.
EDIT: Looking again, his tour spans 6/1 to 6/30 and there are 3 open dates: 6/2, 6/14 & 6/26.

I'm not sure if he's considered to be big enough, but Chris Rock did just one set on the main stage in 08. Conan is bigger than Tosh IMO and he played in the comedy tent but I think that was a mistake. The line to get in there for each show was ridiculous. I personally think a comedian before a headliner is an amazing idea because you can probably cut down on the set up time for the headliner since the comedian pretty much just needs a mic and a spotlight
I enjoy Tosh a lot. But someone brought up the fact that his intentionally offensive (albeit smart and funny) brand of humor just isn't a fit for bonnaroo. I agree. I'd love to see him, and if he's there I may catch a show if its possible, but I'd just assume he not come.

I didn't realize making wisecracks about recycled internet videos was considered smart humor.
