Cosby to Appear on Fox Concerts
Fox Concerts presents Bill Cosby, welcomed by KETC/Channel 9, on October 24 at 3 pm, live at The Fox Theatre. Tickets are $25-$55, and can be purchased by visiting www.metrotix.com.
One of America's most prolific comedians of all time, Bill Cosby has dazzled generations of fans with his comedy routines, also captured on his iconic albums and best-selling books such as Fatherhood and the groundbreaking The Cosby Show. His comedy transcends age, gender, and cultural barriers.
Perhaps Cosby's greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper class black family. Cosby said his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show "an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race."
The Cosby Sho dominated the No. one spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise. 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.
