Opie And Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour (2006)
The Opie and Anthony Traveling Virus is the comedy event of 2006, a concert tour starring comedians featured on the Opie and Anthony show on XM Satellite Radio and CBS Radio. It returned in the summer of 2007.
The tour is notable for the Philadelphia incident where comedian Bill Burr went on a 12 minute tirade attacking the audience after the previous act, Dom Irrera, was heckled heavily by the crowd. A cell phone video recording of the rant has been posted on various video hosting sites. The video was also added onto the DVD release of Burr's Why Do I Do This? comedy special as an extra.
