Comedian Bill Cosby Comes to Westchester

Bill Cosby, one of America’s most beloved comedians of all time takes the stage Saturday, September 7th in White Plains.




He’s captivated generations of fans with his comedy, iconic albums and
best-selling books such as Fatherhood. He transcends age, gender and
cultural barriers.



Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper middle class black family. Cosby said his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show “an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race.” The Cosby Show dominated the #1 spot for years, earning nearly unanimous

critical praise. Life magazine described the program as “a gentle, whimsical, warmhearted” show whose “delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed perspective on their own domestic lives.”



In his current best-seller, I Didn’t Ask to Be Born, But I’m Glad I Was, Cosby talks about the Bible, being a grandfather and his first love in his humorous and insightful manner. He’s 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.
