Bill Cosby Cancels New York Performances

Bill Cosby's comedy tour continues to dwindle.

The comedian has announced the cancellation of shows at the Palace Theatre and the Rochester Auditorium Theatre on April 24 and 25, respectively.

Rochester Broadway Theatre League chairman ARNIE Rothschild received an email from Cosby's promoter saying that the performance had been canceled. Though Pollstar still lists six concert dates for Cosby, his website lists none.

Allegations against Cosby for sexual misconduct were first revealed by comedian HANNIBAL Buress, who called the 'Cosby Show' star a rapist during a routine. Since that time several other women have come forward to reveal that they too were victims of Mr. Cosby, including former model Janice Dickinson, who shared withENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT that she was drugged and raped by Cosby more than 30 years ago.

In addition, scheduled appearances on CBS's Late Show and THE QUEEN LATIFAH SHOW have been canceled. In addition, NBC has cancelled Cosby's upcoming family comedy.
