In a stand-up routine Friday at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, he riffed on rape jokes, and after being challenged by a female audience member, he included her in the humor.

Via Twitter Tosh later apologized for including the woman in his routine. Note his expert use of the 140 characters to apologize-but-not-really: "all the out of context misquotes aside, i'd like to sincerely apologize."
