War on Nebraska

By Eric Barton

Published on March 27, 2008

If your weekend attire consists of clothes with a big red N on them, do not go see Daniel Tosh. He's the Florida-born comedian who likes to bag on Nebraska, saying we should move the Iraq War closer so our soldiers can commute. "We could have it in Nebraska," Tosh says in the bit. "We don't need that horrible state." Then he bashes ethanol, cracking that his SUV doesn't run on corn. Those are fighting words two hours north, but tonight Tosh appears in Lawrence, where hating Nebraska is a hobby. Tosh has two shows, at 7 and 10:15, at Liberty Hall (644 Massachusetts in Lawrence). The $25.50 tickets are available by calling 785-749-1972. And all you big-N supporters thinking about throwing down? Tosh says you're "too busy eating fried mayonnaise balls." Mmm. Fried mayonnaise.
