Bill Cosby Sexual Assaults: The Controversial Comedian Jokes About Rape During His Live Show In Canada; Gets Standing Ovation After The Show

Jan 09, 2015 10:20 AM EST | By Julia Maire Francisco

Bill Cosby was performing a stand-up show in Canada on Thursday night when a woman got up to get a drink. He asked her where she was going and she offered to get him one.

"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby told a woman at his London, Ontario show, the National Post reported.

Well, the audience gasped loudly ... and then applauded, according to the newspaper.

Not everyone thought it was a scream, though.

A heckler was arrested after he shouted, "We don't love you, Bill!

"You're a rapist," the paper reported. "I'm being ejected because you're a rapist!"

He apparently was in the minority because many of the 1,500 people at the show booed him.

"Shame on you!" demonstrator Kim Petrie scolded. "Thirty women, daughters, mothers, sisters!"

The venue had strict rules, initially threatening guests with ejection from the show if they used their phones. Those attending were eventually allowed to use their mobile devices as long as they did not film or photograph the show.

Cosby opened the 7:30 p.m. show by joking about the frigid weather. He spent about two hours reminiscing about his childhood and his wives.

He referred to his infamous allegations about halfway through.

"America's Dad" said he was "Far From Finished" in a written statement released after the show.

"One outburst but over 2,600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exists for human-kind," the statement read. "Laughter."

Cosby, 77, reportedly appeared older and on the verge of tears at his first show of the year in Kitchener, Ontario, Wednesday.

Earlier that day, three more women told reporters Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted them.

His Canadian tour concludes in Hamilton Friday.
