After several years of being in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, Bill Cosby is planning a comeback.
The 85-year-old comedian is looking to make a return to the stage in 2023.
During an interview with WGH Talk, Cosby said he's ready to start touring and telling jokes again.
"Yes, because there's so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do," he said. "Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it."
Cosby's publicist Andrew Wyatt confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the one-time TV star is serious about returning to stand-up comedy -- and soon.
"We're looking at getting back out here around Spring/Summer of 2023," Wyatt said.
The last time Cosby toured was in 2015, months after two dozen women came forward with claims that the comedian sexually assaulted them decades earlier, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In December 2015, he was ultimately arrested and charged with assaulting Andrea Constand, director of operations for Temple University's women's basketball team, who initially reported him to authorities in 2005.
Cosby became the first celebrity convicted of sexual assault in the #MeToo era when a Pennsylvania jury in 2018 found him guilty of drugging and molesting Constand.
Cosby served just shy of three years of a 10-year sentence when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out his conviction and ordered his release in June 2021.
The court pointed to Cosby's Fifth Amendment rights, citing a 2005 agreement with then Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor, who declined to file charges at the time. The court said Castor made a deal with Cosby and his defense team that basically stripped Cosby of his rights by forcing him to sit for a deposition in a civil case, implicating himself in the crime. Some of that deposition was the basis for the charges that were ultimately filed against Cosby. The state high court called the situation an "affront to fundamental fairness," saying that Cosby had reason to believe he would never be charged criminally when he sat for the deposition.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's office asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision and reinstate Cosby's conviction, but in March 2022 the court rejected the case, without explanation.
Cosby has denied all allegations against him.
He could tell his Spanish Fly joke.
Photos of accusers....
I remember when this New York Magazine cover was on the issue arriving at the library where I worked. Thought provoking.
So what was Camille doing all this time?
The thing is, before I learned the truth about Cosby, I almost felt like Bill’s family was like a family I knew.
When I heard that Ennis had been murdered, it felt like losing a friend, as I heard Bill talk so much about his kids.

Lock your young girls up.
it’s over bill.........
I never even watched his show, even one episode. I had to look up “Ennis” to find out he was a real person due to your post. Did not follow Cosby’s career.
who’s he going to kill this time?
Family Guy still comes up with some excellent parody bits.
The "gang visits prison" episode of Fat Albert.
When it originally ran it had real profanity.
Yes, prison is no place you want to go to. If only you had listened to your own advice, Bill...
“More like who wants to pay hard earned money to see a 85 year old serial rapist.”
That was a more outrageous statement before we got a serial child rapist in the White House.
The original family guy had him stuffing the Noid from Dominoes as well. At least he didn’t drug Raven and Keshia.
Thank-you
“My favorite is “The Chicken Heart”...’Hey come over here, I want to show you my dumb kid.’”
That and “Go Carts”. Absolute classics.

Check he’s a dope a dame loser.
Camille is a monster and enabler. She’s known for 6 decades that her husband is a sick, sick predator with a de facto necrophiliac fetish. Kept her mouth shut to keep the $$ coming in.
He’s a sociopath. He literally - truly - believes he has done nothing wrong.
Don’t forget OJ...
I for one won’t be buying a ticket to his show.
