Bill Cosby Boots Heckler, Makes Creepy Date Rape Joke At Toronto Show

Bill Cosby’s first significant stand-up show since allegations of him being a serial rapist resurfaced was an awkward affair, beginning with a heckler who repeatedly yelled, “You are a rapist!”

“No, no — stop,” the comedian told the heckler. “Stop it.”

“No clapping — nothing. That’s right,” he then told the audience as the man continued to yell “You are a rapist!” while being escorted out of the building by security.

“It’s OK,” Cosby said, “just have patience. It’s OK.”

When the man was finally removed, the audience began to applaud wildly and Cosby resumed his show with a joke about how his daughter and wife “can’t stand him.”

Later in the show, Cosby became aware that a woman had abandoned her seat and appeared to be leaving. He asked her what she was doing.

According to reporters at the show, she said, “I’m going to get a drink” — to which Cosby, who has been adamantly reticent on the allegations against him, replied: “You have to be careful about drinking around me.”

He may have shot himself in the foot with that joke there.
