The “No Apologies” in the “No Apologies Comedy Tour” is, arguably, a bit of a misnomer.

Though the four comedians who make up the show’s roster are not the squeakiest of the clean, their brand of humor is not overtly dirty, either.

“None of us are [Andrew] Dice Clay,” jokes comedian Tom Cotter. “We’re a little edgy and we’re all talking about adult topics, but not every other word is an F-bomb.

“We don’t apologize for our material. We’re proud of it. … I think the [the show’s title] is just to warn people that if you are easily offended, this may not be the show for you.”

The “No Apologies Comedy Tour” stops at 8 p.m. Feb. 28, State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton.

Cotter, now in his third decade of stand-up comedy, is joined by comedians Aaron Berg, Mark Riccadonna and Mitch Fatel. The four have collectively appeared on the TV shows, “Conan,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “The Late Show with David Letterman,” among others.

“We just happen to be really good friends and we’re all accomplished [comedians],” Cotter says.

Cotter, who started his career as a police officer in Nantucket, Mass., before deciding to become a comedian, says he was inspired at an early age watching Johnny Carson’s monologue on “The Tonight Show.” Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy also influenced his earliest material as he began honing his act on the Boston comedy circuit.

“When I first started, I was filthy. I started with [comedian] Joe Rogan in Boston and we were banned in a lot of clubs,” Cotter admits. “[Boston] was a great proving ground. You had [Jay] Leno, [Denis] Leary, Steven Wright, Dane Cook, Louis C.K., Bill Burr ... everybody was coming out of Boston.”

Cotter says he eventually realized that he needed to clean up his act if he wanted to reach a larger audience.

“When you’re filthy and just filthy, it limits what you can do.” Cotter says. “I learned who my audience is and how to entertain that audience.”

In 2001, Cotter achieved his dream of performing on “The Tonight Show” [with Leno having taken over for the retired Carson]. “That was the Holy Grail,” Cotter says.

Television audiences have come to know Cotter through his multiple appearances on the reality competition series, “America’s Got Talent” (“AGT”). Cotter was the runner-up during the show’s seventh season, the first comedian to be a finalist on “AGT.”

He returned in 2013 to host “The Season 8 AGT Snapple Viewing Party.”

Cotter found himself back on the “AGT” stage in 2019, performing against other “America’s Got Talent” stars from previous seasons in “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.”

“You get that adrenaline rush from making a room full of strangers laugh. There is such a high in getting up in front of a cold audience and whipping them into a laughter frenzy,” Cotter says. “It’s a immediate gratification.”

Cotter has performed in venues around the globe, from Manhattan’s The Comedy Cellar and Caroline’s on Broadway to Alaska, London and China. He released his first book, “Bad Dad: A Guide to Pitiful Parenting,” in 2016.

“It’s been an amazing ride and it has been educational,” Cotter says. “When you perform stand-up, you know right away if a joke sucks or it’s a home-run.

“The audience doesn’t mince words. The crowd feeds off of us. That magic in a live audience situation is something you can’t recapture anywhere. I’m a proud addict.”
