Bill Cosby Did His First Standup Show in 2 Years, and It Was as Bizarre as You’d Expect

January 24, 2018

ell, folks, he's at it again.

For some reason, Bill Cosby seems very focused on being in the spotlight these days. That's a pretty bold move for someone accused of sexual misconduct by at least 50 women, but he's choosing to make it anyway. Cosby recently put on an impromptu standup show and, well... It seems like it was about as weird as you'd expect it to be.

But that wasn't the end of the decidedly odd affairs. On January 21, Cosby hung out at a barbershop in Philly. The next day, he decided to head to a jazz club.

And that’s when he decided it was a good time to do an impromptu standup set. Just as he’d done with the dinner a few weeks before, Cosby invited several journalists to document the evening.

All this in light of the fact that Cosby will soon be returning to court for a retrial of the criminal case in which he is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting former basketball star Andrea Constand.

Maybe not the best time for jokes?

Cosby began his set by working the crowd, which NPR reports was made up of approximately 50 people.

He wore a gray sweatshirt with colorful letters spelling out “Hello Friend,” a tribute to his late son Ennis who used to greet people with the phrase.

Then he decided to move onto the drums.

OK. Sure. Drum time.

I’m not the only one who thinks this entire thing is pretty darn bizarre, right? The man is accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women! He’s mere weeks away from his criminal trial but has decided to go out on the town and pretend nothing is out of the ordinary.

After his set on the drums, an 11-year-old boy named Mekhi Boone took over and added another awkward interaction to the evening of seemingly interminable awkward interactions.
