Daniel Tosh:

Comedy isn’t our usual beat on ACR, but we knew we had to tell everyone that Daniel Tosh, one of today’s coolest comedians was bringing his tour to Halifax in June. Boy, were we right. What started as two shows on June 11-12 has now turned into four, one after the other on those days, at 7:00 and 9:30 each time. The show is $61 per ticket and being held at the Rebecca Cohn. Very few tickets are left.
