Bill Cosby, released from prison, wants to return to comedy

Noam Dworman, owner of Comedy Cellar, said Bill Cosby, who was Released from prison last month after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 conviction, is banned from performing at his famous club.

This at least makes one comedy venue closed to Cosby, although Dworman notoriously Louis CK permit. at come back with a standing routine after being accused of sexual harassment, insistent he had “heard accusations of worse things than Louis”. Dworman Told the New York Post that Cosby’s case is different because he was charged with a felony.

Dworman’s comments come as Cosby’s spokesperson Andrew Wyatt begins to make a comeback for his client, who, he says, plans to launch a speaking tour and return to the comedy circuit. Wyatt Told TMZ who his team has already been in contact with several promoters and comedy clubs who have told them they would consider letting Cosby take the stage in their theaters.

Of course, it’s up to Wyatt to lie about people being willing for his client to perform again; it’s good press. And of course there are plenty of people going without hesitation blacklist Cosby, if only because of the distinction Dworman made. But it’s just as likely that someone – if not multiple people, as Wyatt claims – will lend Cosby a hand as he tries to save his reputation and reclaim his place as a beloved comic.

For now, the prospect of Cosby’s return tour still seems somewhat unlikely: the large number of women he is accused of assault and the fact that he has been tried, convicted and sentenced for some of his crimes puts him at a disadvantage compared to most other famous men who tried the same thing. But Cosby is already working on a five-part docu-series about his life and experience in prison, according to the Los Angeles Times. It will also be the subject of a book written by an author named Frederick Williams, who questions both Cosby and Wyatt about civil and criminal trials and the legal strategies used by Cosby’s attorneys. his case.

It has never been too difficult for the accused to recover at least a fraction of their career and their success– if they ever lost it to begin with.
