And it's just like, "Well I live 3,000 miles away so I guess I won't be seeing you!" This week, that is not the case — stand-up comedian and Tosh.0 host Daniel Tosh will be gracing the Tower Theater in Upper Darby with his presence. Tickets are a pretty hefty $50 for both the 7 and 9:30 p.m. showings, but there's really not too many opportunities to see famous stand up comics around here. Oh, and even though it's technically in Upper Darby, this is actually a lot closer than some other Philly neighborhoods.
