A new Cosby comedy tour will not be coming to a city near you any time soon.
Bill Cosby’s comeback comedy tour will have to be put on hold as he will be heading back to court for another sexual assault case.
TMZ reported that Cosby rep Andrew Wyatt announced that the 2021 comeback comedy tour will be delayed with no resuming date in mind due to Judy Huth’s civil lawsuit. Huth sued Cosby back in 2014, alleging that the comedy legend sexually assaulted her in the 1970s at the Playboy mansion when she was 15-years-old. Cosby denied these allegations, and the suit stalled while he faced other sexual assault cases. Now a new trial date has been set for Spring 2022.
Wyatt says that the tour delay comes because Cosby doesn’t want the dark cloud of a civil lawsuit to hang over him while he tours. Performing onstage could also be risky for Cosby because Huth’s lawyers might potentially try to use his own words against him in the case.
Wyatt adds they’re not pulling the plug due to lack of interest; he claims about a dozen promoters approached Cosby for gigs. Cosby will almost certainly face scores of hecklers and protesters wherever he performs … regardless of current or pending lawsuits.
Since being released from prison, Cosby has been busy spending time with family and working on new doc-series.
