Nearly two years after Bill Cosby's sex assault conviction was overturned, the disgraced comic revealed he's hoping to perform again.

On Wednesday, December 28, Cosby — who has been accused of rape, sexual assault and child sex abuse and other acts of sexual misconduct by more than 60 women — made a surprise appearance on radio program “WGH Talk,” where he told host Scott Spears that “yes,” he plans on touring in 2023.

"When I come out of this, I feel that I will be able to perform and be the Bill Cosby that my audience knows me to be,” explained the former sitcom icon, who was released from prison in June 2021 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined his due process rights had been violated during his conviction. "There's so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it.”
