Bill Cosby makes shocking announcement: 'There’s so much fun to be had'

Accused sex offender, Bill Cosby, has revealed that he has big plans for 2023. 

The actor and stand-up comedian was convicted of sexual assault in 2018 and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. 

Cosby was released from prison in 2021 after the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania overturned his sex crimes conviction. He had served nearly three years of his sentence at the time. 

Despite more women coming forward with claims of sexual abuse after the Constand case, Cosby is attempting to make a comeback in the new year.

He told Scott Spears in a radio interview on 'WGH Talk' that he is ready to go on a comedy tour. 

"When I come out of this, I feel that I will be able to perform and be the Bill Cosby that my audience knows me to be,” Variety quoted him as saying. 

The disgraced actor confirmed that his tour could happen as soon as 2023. 

"Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it."

Meanwhile, Cosby is facing a lawsuit from five women who claim he sexually assaulted them. The women filed the lawsuit earlier this month. According to NBC News, the women include two actors who worked with him on 'The Cosby Show'. 

A spokesperson for Cosby described the lawsuit as "frivolous".
