Bill Cosby Tells A Woman "Be Careful About Drinking Around Me" During His Stand-Up

In his show in London, Ontario, on Thursday night, Cosby made a joking reference to the many recent accounts by women accusing him of sexual assault.

Bill Cosby, who has been accused by several dozen women of sexual assault, played the second of three stand-up shows in Canada on Thursday.

According to reports on Twitter, a woman who appeared to be "inebriated" interrupted the show.

Here is how Cosby responded, according to two journalists on Twitter who live-tweeted the performance.

"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby just said to a woman in the crowd. Loud gasps from the audience.

And then:

The gasps then changed to cheers and applause.

Richard Warnica, who is a reporter for the National Post, also tweeted a photo of the restrictions the audience was under.

Handed out to ticket holders at tonight's Cosby show.

Apparently, those rules didn't work out well:

Security just pulled a man out of the crowd in London. "You are a rapist!" he yelled at Cosby on the way out.

Six police officers surround the man pulled from the crowd.

Police arrested one man for failing to identify himself. They held him in cuffs in the foyer for a few minutes then let him go.

Cosby addressed the incident after the show in a statement issued by his publicist.

"Dear Fans: One outburst but over 2600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exist for human-kind. Laughter. I thank you, the theatre staff (Budweiser Gardens), the event organizers and the London, ON Community for your continued honor and support. I'm Far From Finished," he said.
