Cosby cancels Pittsburgh appearance
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Bill Cosby canceled his Feb. 21 appearance in Pittsburgh.
Heinz Hall issued a short news release Tuesday saying the show “has been canceled by mutual agreement with Cosby’s presenter and Heinz Hall management.” No specific reason was given.
The venue’s website indicated fewer than half the available tickets were sold for the show at the 2,676-seat venue.
The 77-year-old comedian and television star has been dogged by accusations from women that he sexually abused or harassed them. Several of his shows drew protesters since the allegations resurfaced in recent months.
Cosby denied wrongdoing.
Refunds will be issued for tickets to the Pittsburgh show.
