Bill Cosby is Still Funny

[Old Moparz]

Went to see Bill Cosby at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ this past Saturday. His live stand up show is still pretty damn funny.   

I wasn't really planning on going to see him, but his old HBO special was on a couple of months ago & my wife & daughter loved it so I snagged 3 tickets. Knowing that I wouldn't have to worry about explaining any "adult humor" at the show, I figured it would be safe to give my daughter a chance to see a live stand up act.

The first time I remember seeing Cosby on TV was "I Spy" when I was a kid, I'd watch it with my Dad. I also watched "Fat Albert" every Saturday morning for years, then later on a show he did where he interviewed kids. I don't remember what that one was called, but it was always funny.

If you're a Cosby fan & get a chance to see his live act, go for it.

He is my all time favorite comedian. Him and Jack Benny. They never needed to swear to be funny.

Bill Cosby=Class act...  He never pulled the race card to get laughs...  Just a great guy..

I picked up a couple of tickets to see him on-stage a few years ago. The night of the show my wife and I are having dinner (at home) and I realized that we had something going on that evening. The show was starting in 15 min and it was an hour away. We missed the show...and I've always regretted it. I enjoy his act.

Kids say the darndest things. 

I have a show of him on tape somewhere, early to mid seventies and it's hilarious.

Yeah, that's the show, thanks.    He kind of opened his show last Saturday like that. He had his 3 grand kids come out, ages 6 thru 9 & it was hilarious.

  "Now these 3 brain damaged children have the nerve to look surprised!!!  My wife grabs a yardstick, holds it like a samurai warrior and SSHHHEEERRRRRROOO!! Well children go scrambling everywhere!!  Now my job is the goalie and I kick 'em back into play."  Man I still remember that, good times!!

I know exactly what you're talking about. I still have a collection of Lp's myself.

Ditto.  Turntables, reel-to-reels, cassette decks, 8-track decks, and all the good stuff to play on them.  Let's also add Bob Newhart to those early recordings.  He and Bill always get a big laugh from me.
