Bill Cosby comes to RVA
The famous comedian, author, and television star will perform in RVA later this spring. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Bill Cosby will perform at the Carpenter Theatre on April 19th. He’s the author of best-selling books Fatherhood, Time Flies, and the current, I Didn’t Ask to Be Born, But I’m Glad I Was.
Cosby is perhaps best known for his television work. He became the first African-American to costar in a television series, I Spy, a role that earned him three consecutive Emmy Awards. He was later the star of the The Cosby Show, which ran for eight seasons, and creator of the Emmy-winning cartoon television series, Fat Albert.
Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America’s highest civilian honor), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and the Marian Anderson Award.
Tickets for An Evening with Bill Cosby go on sale Friday, January 25th at 10:00 AM at Carpenter Theatre and Landmark Theater box offices, by phone (1.800.514.3849), or online. Tickets range between $51 – $77 (plus fees).

I find it interesting that you refer to Bill Cosby as an “African-American”, when he clearly states that he identifies himself only as “American”. He has a whole bit about race and dividing America; it’s wonderful. Perhaps you should research those who you’re covering in your news for a minute or two before you write and publish an article. Just a thought…
So… what date is he coming to Richmond? I’ve scanned and scanned the article to find the date, but only the date that tickets go on sale is available. Bueller?
@Jenny – sorry about that. The date is April 19th.
Laura, condescending much?
Tough crowd.
Laura:
I find it funny that Bill Cosby’s official website states “His role on TV’s I Spy made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series, breaking television’s racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards.” Perhaps you should research yourself for a minute or two before you write and publish an comment. Just a thought…
Apparently Laura’s daily life is like that Colbert bit about “not seeing color”
