Almost every seat in the Student Activities Center was filled when Daniel Tosh from Comedy Central's "Tosh.O" performed last Thursday.
Tickets for admission were free for students with a valid student ID. The show started at 7:30 p.m. and lasted approximately two hours.
The show had a large turn out. Tosh had the crowd laughing the entire hour and a half he was on stage.
Matt Fulchiron was the opening act for Tosh. Fulchiron performs on CBS's "The Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "Last Comic Standing" and "Live at Gotham."
Jovie Lindawan, a freshman in nursing, said Fulchiron was "funny, but not as good as Tosh."
Erica Vondyke, a freshman in human science with a concentration in pre-pharmacy, shared that idea. Vondyke thought Fulchiron "over did it" and "went too far" with several of his jokes.
Several of Fulchiron's punch lines had to do with relationships.
As for Tosh, both Lindawan and Vondyke loved the show. Neither had seen nor heard of him before, but would recommend him to others.
Lindawan said if Tosh returned to Auburn, she would go see him perform again.
That seemed to be a common reaction amongst Auburn students.
Tosh travels to several college campuses around the country and seems to relate well to the crowds.
Tosh dressed in a comfortable T-shirt and jeans similar to how most of the Auburn students were dressed.
Tosh used profanity and told a handful of offensive jokes.
He even found it necessary to apologize to the crowd before the show even began, because he said it was almost guaranteed that he would offend everyone in the auditorium.
Tosh made references to Mormons, gay marriage and the death penalty. One of his jokes was about homeless people.
Tosh said he created a charity for people to help out and Febreeze the homeless. "Who would you rather give a dollar to, the man that smells like liquid garbage or ocean breeze?"
Brannon Goodrich, a sophomore in industrial engineering, thought the show was hilarious.
"I saw signs on the concourse during O-Days, so that's how I heard about the show," Goodrich said.
Goodrich had seen Tosh perform on TV and was excited to see him in Auburn. Some of Goodrich's favorite comedians include Jim Gaffigan and Dane Cook. Goodrich thought Tosh was great and he will recommend him to others.
The crowd was anxious for Tosh to take the stage and the screams were deafening.
They left the auditorium with smiles on their faces, still laughing about the jokes that Tosh told.
