Comedic Legend Bill Cosby
at
Seminole Paradise’s Hard Rock Live

Cheers South Florida!

Comedic legend Billy Cosby had South Florida chuckling for two 90-minute sets in Seminole Paradise’s Hard Rock Live this summer. “Let me get over the shock of the Hard Rock,” the 68-year-old comedian expressed. Such a comment displayed his age, but not nearly as much as the wrinkles on his face. An enormous television monitor hung 10-feet above his graying head. Cosby was draped in khakis and a black T-shirt reading "Homeland Security: Fighting Terrorism since 1492," while seated in a chair front and center.

Right away, a female heckler sitting up front made a request for old material from the comic, and he told her to shut up. He spent a few minutes busting her chops in jest for drinking too much while playing keno in the hotel. Cosby used this interruption to introduce his witty annotations on the day-to-day relationships between men and women. His true-to-life observances kicked off with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and spread to children’s appearances while sleeping, mother-in-laws’ weapons of intimidation, slipper-hiding ghosts in families’ homes and the numerous weed smoking members of the audience. Every now and then, Cosby stood up and moved around his stage, recreating the murder of his little brother’s invisible friend. Fans who yelled out kept Cosby off course as he had to occasionally stop his monologue to laugh out loud throughout the evening.

I Am One Funny Man!

There was no political commentary, and much of the evening’s amusing routine focused on who really wears the pants in marries couples’ relationships. For example, once hitched and purchases a home, it automatically becomes the woman’s house. The wife makes all of the decisions, including which side of the bed the man gets to sleep on, as well as which section of the vanity in the bathroom. Of course, the woman may allow her husband to be in charge of a barbeque once a year, just like when Eddie Murphy’s father claims it’s “MY HOUSE” at the 4th of July cookouts.

Some of Cosby’s jokes and comical observations were Greek to the younger members of the audience, especially those who were unwed. But just Cosby’s voice and funny facial expressions on the screen were enough to induce laughter. Unlike veteran musicians on tour this year, but similar to experienced comedians on the road, such as Andrew Dice Clay at the Hard Rock Improv last month, Cosby’s performance consisted of all new bits, with a closing routine of one classic act. South Florida’s crowd was in stitches from 1983’s dentist with an iron hook sketch from the film Bill Cosby: Himself. He imitated patients’ frozen faces trying to spit into the doctors’ miniature toilet bowls, and dentists making conversation with clients strapped to a chair.
