Report: Bill Cosby planning 2023 comedy tour
Controversial comedian Bill Cosby is reportedly eyeing a return to touring in 2023.
During a surprise radio interview Wednesday on "WGH Talk," Cosby answered "yes" when asked if 2023 is the year he might finally be able to tour again.
Now 85 years old, Cosby was convicted in Pennsylvania in April 2018 of criminal sex assault. He served nearly three years before his conviction was overturned by the state supreme court.
A Cosby representative has reportedly confirmed that the comedian is looking to start touring in the spring or summer.
But Cosby's troubles may not be over just yet. Five women recently filed new sexual assault lawsuits against him under a New York law that temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for older sexual assault claims.
A spokesperson for Cosby has called the lawsuits "frivolous," and said the women were part of a "parade of accusers" who previously came forward.
