Bill Cosby played a sold-out comedy show on Friday in Florida, despite a wave of sexual assault allegations this week that prompted the cancellation of several upcoming shows and two major studios to halt projects involving the comedian.

Cosby, 77, took the stage to a standing ovation and gave the audience a thumbs up at the King Center in Melbourne. The 90-minute show concluded without incident.

Thank you King Center and Brevardians for not hanging him before any conclusion has been arrived at. I wonder who's next to accuse him. Wanda sykes, cathy griffin?

There were two new accusations just yesterday. It seems there’s about 1 a day now.

We saw Cosby in Baltimore a few years ago. One man, one chair, and a microphone. and for two hours he entertained a sold out theater, with no hint of obscenity.

PS: Dentists love him, too.

Piers Morgan molested me several times and the fact that he refuses to talk about it proves my case.

I’m sure there are many others who haven’t come forward yet.

If Cosby played for the NFL, it would be a whole different story. They’d be screaming for the commissioner’s head instead of standing and giving the Cos the clap.

Cosby settled out of court on at least one of these cases.

I'm wondering what were the demographics of the audience. How do you go yuk it up with a guy whose persona is a jolly love-able guy know for his family values and ‘G’ rated material.

Where their is smoke their is fire. If this was Bill Clinton the judgment would be swift and final.

Going to one of C osby’s shows and entusiastically cheering him like nothing is wrong, is like sitting on Santa's lap when he's sporting a woody. There is a time to back off and be objective.

If he were white it’d be a different standard.

He’s black so it’s assumed he’s somehow not guilty when all these women come forward with the same story.

Now that two black women have come forward, the tide will turn with the MSM.

Either Cosby has an enemy that is able to coordinate over a dozen different women to make essentially the same claims; or, there’s fire in that smoke.

Does anybody have more info on these accusations? It just seems so out-of-the-blue and so fast and furious.

The dentist bit is great. When I saw him he got people on stage to sing.

Cosby is a class act. The left won’t be able to destroy him.

We know he went to court. And we know he had a child by another woman while he was “happily” married. 2,3,4....easily follow. He’s a repeater...just like Bubba...

I don’t this has much to do with the left as he really could be a serial rapist. Telling funny clean jokes doesn’t make it ok.

When that old drug bag, Janice whatshername accused him, I decided it was just a lie, but last night I saw yet another woman and I'm starting to wonder what is going on.

And when someone pays off an accuser, I get suspicious. I can't say it was a guilty Michael Jackson who paid off the family of the first (and second and third?) kid and then say Cosby is innocent when he paid off the first one too.

I'm not saying I totally believe it, but there comes a point when you have to wonder if this many are claiming the same basic story, is there some truth here? I hope there isn't...

I’m beginning to wonder if maybe he raped me years ago as well . . . . and if not, why not?

knowing he's black, and an outspoken critic of young black men and obola being a racist .. and all of America pretty much set against obola ... it doesn't surprise me
