"People want to see him," Andrew Wyatt told reporters.
Bill Cosby’s next step could be a comedy tour.
The newly freed comedian’s spokesperson Andrew Wyatt told reporters Thursday, including from the The Philadelphia Inquirer, that Cosby has been “been talking to a number of promoters and comedy club owners” and “is just excited the way the world is welcoming him back.” Wyatt added to Inside Edition, “A number of promoters have called. Comedy club owners have called. People want to see him.”
The 83-year-old Cosby was freed Wednesday after serving more than two years of a three-to-10-year sentence at a state prison following dozens of women accusing him of rape and sexual assault. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided that a “non-prosecution agreement” the actor struck with a previous prosecutor should have prevented him from being charged in a case that stemmed from a 2004 encounter with accuser Andrea Constand. “I have never changed my stance nor my story,” Cosby said in a statement. “I have always maintained my innocence.”
The possibility of the disgraced 83-year-old comedian returning to the live stage might seem almost unimaginable (not to mention, deeply unfunny) considering the number of accusations against him, and it would be certain to cause protests and uproar at any booked venues.
Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents several Cosby accusers, has also warned that the comedian could face new defamation claims should he embark on a tour where he claims vindication and casts his accusers in a negative light.
Previously, and under a rather different set of circumstances, comedian Louis C.K. semi-successfully returned to stand-up in the wake of admitting he masturbated in front of five women in 2017. Yet those appearances were met by some backlash, and he has yet to be re-embraced by studios and streaming outlets. His latest special, 2020’s Sincerely Louis C.K., was self-released through his website.

Clearly he was victimized and railroaded by the systemic white supremacist racism, and we will all be reminded of this by every BLM-backing fake journalist from Oprah, Joy, and Whoopie on down.
Cosby and Slick Willy. That BBC chick as the straightman.
His narcissism is still going strong.
Maybe let him just ease back into private life, is a better choice right now.
He needs to do things that will not create situations for any more accusations against him.
Notice Geraldo defends him, the same guy who says there was no Election fraud?
Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents several Cosby accusers,
Lisa Bloom is Gloria Allred’s daughter. Does Cosby getting out of prison apply to only this one legal case; can Lisa representing other women, bring charges in other cases now? Is Cosby totally out of legal trouble now, is what I don’t quite understand.
Cosby did routines on spiking drinks starting in the 1960’s
He thought raping women is funny.
Grandpa Puddin’ Goes on Tour!!!!
It seems prison cured his blindness!!!!!
Hey Hey Heyyyyyyy!!!!
Maybe him, Bill Clinton, and Hunter Biden can do a rapist comedy tour, with special guest, the Senile Pedophile, Joe Biden himself
I am trying to remember - been a long time- but didn’t he put down an honorary degree he was awarded that he added to the show credits and had to remove it?
Three girls walk into a bar and see Bill Cosby serving drinks.
The three girls walk out.
He should do a fund raiser with Biden on who can climb stairs the fastest.
The Woke Lynch Mob bullied the DA to recklessly file charges and they have gotten what they deserve.
I hope Cosby sues the hell out of the state for malicious prosecution and uses $100 bills to light a cigar on the courthouse steps after he wins.
At one time, she probably was “the opener”.
Then, she got younger women to do it.
I’ll bet Cosby didn’t do nothing that every other famous male celebrity didn’t do. The only difference is that he was a prominent black male who sounded more and more conservative every day...
His conviction wasn’t reversed because he wasn’t guilty: it was reversed because he gave a confession with a promise of immunity that was breached. It doesn’t make his confession any less true.
