( EW ) -- Daniel Tosh is n't the sort of comedian who typically apologizes for anything . His hit Comedy Central series `` Tosh.0 '' frequently explores potentially offensive territory with jokes that some would consider misogynistic or racist , and that his fans find hilarious . But it seems Tosh firmly strayed over the line during a recent live appearance . The comedian tweeted an apology and a link to a blogger 's account of his recent stand-up performance . `` All the out of context misquotes aside , I 'd like to sincerely apologize , '' Tosh wrote . The original anonymous `` friend of a friend '' account would be too sketchy to use for a source if not for Tosh 's tweet acknowledging there is some substance to it . So keeping in mind that Tosh says he was misquoted , the original account was by a female audience member who says she was unfamiliar with Tosh 's act when she caught his performance at the Hollywood Laugh Factory . She claims , `` Tosh [ started ] making some very generalizing , declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny , how can a rape joke not be funny , rape is hilarious . '' The audience member felt `` provoked '' and says she yelled out , `` Actually , rape jokes are never funny ! '' Continues the account : `` After I called out to him , Tosh paused for a moment . Then , he says , 'Would n't it be funny if that girl got raped by like , 5 guys right now ? Like right now ? What if a bunch of guys just raped her ... ' and I , completely stunned and finding it hard to process what was happening but knowing I needed to get out of there , immediately nudged my friend , who was also completely stunned , and we high-tailed it out of there ... I should probably add that having to basically flee while Tosh was enthusing about how hilarious it would be if I was gang-raped in that small , claustrophobic room was pretty viscerally terrifying ... '' Tosh tweeted : `` The point I was making before I was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them , '' then added : `` On a lighter note tonight 's new episode of Tosh.0 will be featuring clowns . '' Comedy Central had no comment . See full story at EW.com . CLICK HERE to Try 2 RISK FREE issues of Entertainment Weekly . © 2011 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc. All rights reserved .
