Bill Cosby is eyeing a comeback in 2023.
The 85-year-old comedian is attempting to return to touring after he was convicted in April 2018 of a criminal sex assault charge in Pennsylvania. Cosby was released in 2021 when the conviction was overturned.
An additional five women alleged Cosby either raped them or coerced them into sexual acts, according to a sexual assault lawsuit filed in New York earlier this month.

Cosby made the announcement about his return during an interview with Scott Spears on WGH Talk.
“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,” he said.
Spears then asked if 2023 may be the right year for a return.
“Yes. Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do,” Cosby replied.
“Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it.”
Andrew Wyatt, Cosby’s representative, confirmed a possible 2023 return, according to a report.
Cosby is “looking at spring/summer to start touring,” according to Wyatt.

Wyatt called the recent sexual assault lawsuit “frivolous,” the report noted.
