Bill Cosby has been a free man for a year and a half now following the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's overturning of his sexual assault conviction, and he's been talking about bringing his show on the road for some time now.
Speaking with Scott Spears of WGH Talk [via Variety], it appears Cosby does have plans to head out on a comedy tour in 2023 — that is, if he manages to stay out of prison until then.
"When I come out of this," Cosby told Spears, "I feel that I will be able to perform and be the Bill Cosby that my audience knows me to be."
When asked whether he planned to tour in 2023, the disgraced comedian responded: "Yes. Yes because there's so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it."
Cosby's representative Andrew Wyatt further confirmed these plans in a statement to Variety, sharing that Cosby is "looking at spring/summer to start touring."
The comeback tour had previously been put on hold amid the comedian's various additional legal battles.
Just this past summer, Cosby was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in 1975 in a civil suit, which awarded plaintiff Judy Huth $500,000 USD in damages. Cosby is quoted as saying, "What? That's all? Booyah!" upon hearing the verdict.
