Bill Cosby Performs for Older Crowd in First Comedy Show Since Trial
January 23, 2018
Bill Cosby is back to doing stand-up (or sit-down) for the first time since his sexual assault trial last summer … and his crowd and venue has certainly changed.

Cosby's performing a live comedy set Monday at the LaRose Jazz Club in Philly alongside the Tony Williams Jazz Quartet, and he appears to be working a small and older crowd for now.

The disgraced comedian's retrial on sexual assault charges is set to begin in April, and a new jury selection begins at the end of March. He averted a decision this past June when a jury couldn't agree on a verdict … ending in a mistrial.

Looks like Cosby's back to doing his thing — well, sorta. He's also on drums tonight, apparently.
