"Talk about a joke that bombed.\r\nComedian Daniel Tosh has apologized after a Friday stand-up show in Los Angeles prompted one audience member to express public outrage over a joke he made about gang rape.\r\n&amp;quot;All the out-of-context misquotes aside, I&amp;apos;d like to sincerely apologize,&amp;quot; Tosh, 37, tweeted Tuesday, along with a link to the Tumblr post made by the female attendee at the Laugh Factory show. &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAccording to the audience member, &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot;\r\nFeeling &amp;quot;provoked,&amp;quot; the woman stood up to Tosh and reportedly yelled, &amp;quot;Actually, rape jokes are never funny!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThen, the woman says, Tosh heckled her right back. &amp;quot;After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, &amp;apos;Wouldn&amp;apos;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...&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she recounted on her blog, adding that she immediately sought out the club&amp;apos;s manager, who did not refund her money, but instead offered free tickets for another show.\r\nPHOTOS: A-list feuds: Which side are you on?\r\n&amp;quot;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 and threatening all the same, even if the actual scenario was unlikely to take place,&amp;quot; the blogger wrote. &amp;quot;The suggestion of it is violent enough and was meant to put me in my place.&amp;quot;\r\nTosh has hosted his own Comedy Central show, Tosh.0, since 2009."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
