Daniel Tosh

Sharp, snide, and just about as wicked as they come, standup comedian Daniel Tosh's sardonic material and the casual way it's delivered has made him a college favorite and a frequent guest of the Comedy Central television network. Born in Germany but raised in Florida, Tosh is the son of a preacher, a fact that shocks nearly everyone who has encountered his edgy and flippant act. In Miami, Tosh created and hosted the late-night television show Tens, where he would interview and mock the numerous models who inhabit the city's South Beach area. After touring the comedy club circuit, a successful performance at the prestigious Just for Laughs International Comedy Festival in Montreal introduced him to the big time. He was soon appearing at comedy festivals as far away as New Zealand and Kilkenny, Ireland, and averaging 100 college campus performances a year. He made his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2001 and a year later was hosting his first standup special, Comedy Central Presents Daniel Tosh. In 2005 the cable network's record label released his debut, the CD/DVD combo True Stories I Made Up.
