Having survived internet rumors that he is dead, legendary comedian and author Bill Cosby is coming to The Fox Theatre.
Cosby will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, October 24, and tickets go on sale Monday, September 13 at 10 a.m.
Cosby has dazzled generations of fans with his stand-up routines, comedy albums, best-selling books such as Fatherhood and the groundbreaking The Cosby Show. His comedy transcends age, gender, and
cultural barriers.
Time magazine called The Cosby Show “an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race.” It dominated the No. one spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise.
Cosby also has moved on energetically in the internet multimedia age, recording a serious monologue about social media and releasing it on Ustream that has drawn nearly 1.5 million viewers. He also is planning a new mobile media show, OBKB.
For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and was the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Starting Sept. 13, purchase tickets ($55, $45, $35 and $25) at the Fox Box Office, MetroTix outlets or by calling 314/534-1111. Order tickets online at www.metrotix.com.
