The Union Board presented comedian Daniel Tosh on Oct. 21 in the Student Center, Main Floor.

According to www.danieltosh.com, his casual style and variety in his material have him performing at more than 100 college campuses a year, adding Tech to the list for 2003.

"I love Louisiana Tech and I love stand-up comedy," Tosh said.

Tosh continues to tell jokes and perform various comic acts for events.

He has been in comedy for 10 years. He started at the age of 18 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.

Tosh made his network debut Aug. 24, 2001, on "The Late Show with David Letterman." He also appeared on "Comedy Central Presents Daniel Tosh" on July 25.

Tosh's act involves a variety of subjects.

He discusses almost everything about college life and life itself.

"He relates it to college students and makes it plain for anyone," Daniel Hatcher, a sophomore computer information systems major, said.

"Money doesn't buy happiness É just kidding," Tosh said.

He also said, "It is rare to find a person broke or poor and happy all at the same time."

In another act he explained to the audience how to avoid being bored in class. He advised students to imagine themselves as a bowling trophy and stand up in a chair in front of their class and pose.

Students enjoyed the presentation and shared their critiques and raves about Tosh's act.

"He was funny, real funny, but he had offensive material in his act," Sheena Kelley, a freshman medical technology major, said. "I guess we can't have a comedy show without the offensive material though."

One of Tosh's constant jokes spoke of there being three types of people in the crowd.

"There are the people that do laugh at the jokes, people that want to laugh but don't laugh and the people that are offended by the things I say," Tosh said.

To keep the crowd into the act, Tosh constantly reminded the crowd that the things he said were jokes and that the events do not happen in real life and are meant to be funny.

Other students enjoyed the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and said there should be an encore.

Hatcher said, "I would definitely like for him to return. I really liked how he kept it clean."
