At Bill Cosby's second consecutive show following the emergence of destructive rape allegations made against the once beloved comedic actor, he actually poked fun at the drama after a heckler tried to taunt him about it.
The event, which took place at London, Ontario's Budweiser Gardens, was attended by over 2,600 loyal Cosby supporters; however, there was one heckler who was set on making Bill's night difficult. After a woman sitting in the front row got up and walked past the stage, Cosby inquired about where she was going. The woman informed him that she was heading to the lobby to get a drink, which prompted Cosby to attempt to make light of his numerous rape allegations.
"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby told the woman, which garnered a loud roar of applause from fans in attendance. Unfortunately for Cosby, that brief moment of comical bliss was short-lived after a heckler in the crowd began shouting at Cosby that he is a rapist.
The fans began to boo the man heavily, but Cosby rose to his feet to quiet them from responding to the heckler's taunts. The man responsible for interrupting Cosby's performance was escorted out of the building by a police officer shortly afterward. Following the conclusion of his show, Cosby released a statement on the event:
"Dear Fans: One outburst but over 2,600 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."
