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."
I could listen to him every day, he is totally fantastic. He always has new material, his facial expressions are priceless and he really knows what the crowd wants and plays up to it. So sad to heat about his eye sight though.
If I could I would give Bill Cosby 10 stars. He was absolutely fabulous. It just goes to show that you don't have to be mean or vulgar to be funny. He had us laughing for the whole time.
Bill Cosby was everything that we have come to know and love about his stories and his humour - every day, down-to-earth regular examples of regular people leading regular lives. It is funny because we can all relate to it AND there is never any cursing or any implied remarks. He is kind, considerate, human and funny. Even his introduction - no one came out. He simply appeared, sat down, explained the slight delay and began. The standing ovation at the end tells all.
The beginning and end of his show was very very funny but the middle 40min was very very slow and boring, but I still think he is great. It was impressive that he went for about 100 min.
Excellent! Bill Cosby has still got it!!! He is one of the classic comedians that everyone should definitely see. Check that off the bucket list.
It was wonderful to see this extraordinary performer still wowing the crowds at his age.
Bill Cosby is still as funny as he was 25 years ago when my husband and I first saw him, we weren't married yet but that is where we met. Then we saw him a Tulare County Fair in the 90's and then Sunday night. He is a great entertainer and Saroyan is the perfect Venue to watch him. His facial expression are priceless, great show and even our 16 year old son loved him.
He is ageless and always hilarious! Proof that you don't have to be crude to be funny.
We had incredible seats, front and centre. Dr. Bill Cosby looks great and is still a wonderful man to listen too. He ingages the audiance like no other. Love this man.
This was, without a doubt, the most incredible show I've ever been to. Bill Cosby still has what it takes to make people laugh. I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face! Absolutely loved it, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to see him live before his time ends. Although I'm sure he'll be going strong for many years to come! I grew up watching this man make magic on TV, and it was truly an awe-inspiring experience to watch him in person.
I remember watching some videos with my Mom when I was younger and we were laughing so hard we were crying. I used a few kleenex on Sunday watching this show. I wish my Mom was alive to see the Great Bill Cosby Live.
It was great to see Bill Cosby live. He handles hecklers well. Bill seemed very tired in the second show. I would not recommend attending a second showing, rather see him on a different day, albeit he is still a great performer regardless. It is just that he arrived 15 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early from expectations making feel like I lost 1/2 hour worth of my money. Still worthwhile to see at any price. Keep on kickin em out of the ball park Bill!
The evening with Bill Cosby was everything I expected it to be. He is still a master at his craft.
I have been waiting to see Bill Cosby forever and I wasn't disappointed. I was late but every moment was worth the ticket. Now I can mark this off my bucket list.
Bill Cosby was awesome! Same man we watched growing up on t.v. Funny, intelligent and introspective. Thanks for years of laughs Bill !!!!
This is your customer's spouse doing the review. We have a very unusual marriage. We are very respectful of each other AND we are the best of friends. Most of the jokes that comedians use about marriage degrade marriage, and, in my opinion, Dr. Cosby used some of that same humour, so I did not find some of Dr. Cosby's humour particularly amusing. There were, however, other parts of the show that carried well. I would recommend the show only to be able to tell people that you saw 'The Cos' in person.
Very funny in a pure way everyone can relate that only Mr. Bill Cosby can accomplish
The show was unbelievable. Dr. Cosby is as funny in real life as he is in his TV Shows.
i believe that bill cosbys show was one of the best shows i have seen in a long time. he is a fantastic storyteller and an amazing man. it felt like i was at home listening to my grandfather tell stories from when he was young. If i could i would go see him again and again. he was very sweet especially when a child watching the show got a little fussy because it was dark. He stopped what he was doing to see if he could help make it easier for the child to enjoy the evening and he even turned up the lights a bit so the child wasnt so scared.
It seems Bill Cosby has been around 'forever'. He has touched the lives of many generations. It's rare to find good humor in a venue where all ages can share in the experience. Bill didn't need to use the infamous four-letter words, or yell at us. This man has a brilliant delivery, dynamic facial expressions and an uncanny realization of what his audiences will enjoy. Our daughter and son-in-law gave my husband the tickets for his 70th birthday. It was a marvelous way to celebrate the occasion. Bill Cosby is still at the top of the heap when it comes to comedians. "Thanks, Bill, for a wonderful night!
