Bill Cosby has shown that what hasn’t killed him, would certainly make him stronger, as he joked about his sexual assault accusation during a performance in Ontario Canada on Thursday, January 8.
The show, which had a low turnout, apparently took a turn when the comedian told a woman in the audience to be careful about drinking around him.
The woman got up from her front-row seat at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario, to get a drink when Cosby asked where she was going.
According to National Post reporter, Richard Warnick, the lady reportedly offered him a drink, and “He said no, he already had one (a bottle of water). Then he continued “You have to be careful about drinking around me.”
Most however didn’t find the 77-year-old comic ‘funny’. One tweet said, “I talked to some Cosby fans leaving Budweiser Gardens and they all seemed to find the ‘be careful what you drink’ joke funny. I give up.”
Afterward, Cosby released a statement through his publicist:
“Dear Fans: One outburst but over 2600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exist for human-kind. Laughter. I thank you, the theatre staff (Budweiser Gardens), the event organizers and the London, ON Community for your continued honor and support. I’m Far From Finished.”
