BILL COSBY ON TOUR:
Legendary family funnyman Bill Cosby has been making America laugh for over half a century, proving that clean, wholesome humor still has a welcome place in today's stand-up circuit. From his days as Jell-O's spokesman to his role on the eponymous Cosby Show, his folksy demeanor and all-inclusive comedy have made him a national treasure, with a fanbase that spans generations. Hot on the heels of 2013'S Bill Cosby: Far From Finished — his first TV standup special in 30 years — Cosby is once again on tour, treating audiences around the country to his signature brand of family-friendly comedy.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Cosby was a class clown as a young student, but he was also a high achiever, acting as captain of the baseball team and class president. After a demanding work schedule led him to drop out of school, he joined the Navy, continuing to hone his comedic talent while shooting the breeze with fellow servicemen. Soon after his time in the service, Cosby began performing at clubs around the country, ultimately landing a pivotal spot on NBC's Tonight Show. That appearance gained him the exposure he needed to break into acting, paving the way for his Emmy-nominated role on the show I Spy and his popular Saturday morning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. His biggest success, however, was the era-defining Cosby Show, which dominated airwaves in the '80s as the most popular TV show in the country for five straight seasons. In addition to numerous acclaimed acting roles, Cosby has continued to perform and record stand-up over the years, racking up a whopping nine Grammys for his comedy albums and cementing his place among the giants of American comedy.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Enjoyed 2hours of laughs! He combined some old material with new material and the result was great laughs. It was a pleasure to experience good clean fun --- no profanity or descriptive sexual encounters used to get a cheap laugh."
"Still he can captivate an audience for 2 1/2 hours while sitting in his chair just telling us hilarious stories as if he was in our living room, just making us laugh our heads off!"
"Cosby is a master. He spoke for 2.5 hours without a note or a prompt. He just told funny story after funny story."
What a story teller! Bill Cosby can find the humor in everyday events. His stories will cause you to remember events in your life that truly were funny. At 77 he seems sharp as a tack.
My wife and I laughed at Bill's new material about his childhood. Very funny show, we recommend it to everyone.
A bit disappointing, Mr. Cosby lost his train of thought several times, went completely off subject and displayed a general disconnect from his material.
Really enjoyed the show. Cosby was very good ! As funny as ever.
This amazing night was my Birthday gift from my husband. This legend has still got it!!!! No joke, he is and will always be hilarious! I grew up watching his comedy and he is just as funny now as he was 30 years ago :) Bottom line, awesome show and if he comes back to the area we will be buying tickets again!!
The tickets were given to me as a present. Great gift! I laughed so much my cheeks were hurting. I hope to get to see him again.
Bill delivered as always, laughed till I cryed. He never fails to make me laugh and even through in some "pudding pops" jokes. He was funny as ever. It's so nice to sit through a 2 hour show and not hear one swear word. Just good clean fun.
The fact that he brought a lot of real life experiences to the stage in an enjoyable performance. Talking of his age and the changes that have evolved in his life. The ability to laugh and allow his aquatinted life style growing up. Brought real laughter to onlookers and himself included. I guess overall the wellness to laugh at himself and allow us to laugh with him.
Excellent performance. Amazing mental and story telling ability.
Started off slow but he made up for it.. My jaws and sides hurt from laughing so much. I saw him 27 yrs ago and I think he's awesome. I would have loved to have heard some of his older material as well.
Went with my mother and daughter. We all enjoyed every bit of the performance. He was funny, clean and entertaining.
Bill Cosby is undeniably one of the best comedians of all time! A few generations have grown up on his humor and people of all ages love it! He was very funny and his interaction with the crowd was priceless. I will attend a show anytime he is in town!
Bill was entertaining. I did not care for the venue, and will not be going back.
He was a little slow to get started but was funny especially his last bit. Show lasted 2 hours but I feel it was overpriced through Ticketmaster. I would recommend only because he is an icon of the comedy industry.
Although some signs of 77 years were evident, Bill captivated the audience for 2 hours. Amazing when you consider glaucoma...he couldn't see 10 ft in front of himseld but was able to shout out to areas of the audience that were making comments on pudding pops and other topics. Glad I saw him and hope (1) all allegations are false and (2) he'll return next year. A consummate storyteller.
Mr Cosby was totally awesome! He has not lost his talent. I would love to see him again!
Had the crowd laughing in stitches the whole night. We'll worth it...2 hour performance. Shame more people didn't attend. They closed the balcony and moved us down to the floor. Seats were still good because we got there early and weren't placed on the far end. We could still see.
Putting the accusations aside, the icon that is Bill Cosby really delivered a fun-filled evening. Don't expect to hear a replay of Bill Cosby Himself or any other of his comedic acts that you've ever seen. He puts a new comedic perspective on life from the eyes of a 77year old man.
Very enjoyable evening. Good interaction with audience. No disturbances occurred.
This was more like an evening with a friend than a performance, and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable all evening. Mr. Cosby is hysterically funny, without being vulgar or inappropriate, and was a delight.
