Most famously known as the beloved, sharp-witted father on "The Cosby Show," Bill Cosby has repeatedly proven his ability to win over the hearts of Americans across the nation. Not only has he made a name for himself as an actor and comedian, Cosby has also participated in a variety of concerts, recordings, and educational commercials. In terms of making strides for racial equality, the American icon broke barriers in television as the first African American to co-star in a dramatic series on the TV show "I Spy." In an age where vulgarity frequently dominates the entertainment scene, Cosby has found a way to captivate audiences in a wholesome, yet, hilarious manner.

On Friday, November 9, at 8 p.m. Cosby will perform live at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.). Tickets range from $52 to $82. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 222-5000 or visit rbtl.org.
