Bill Cosby has revealed he plans to go on a comedy tour in 2023.

Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.

Did we say yikes? Because yikes.

Yesterday (Wednesday, December 28), the controversial - to say the least - comedian appeared on the radio show WGH Talk with host Scott Spears.

On the show he revealed he is hoping to tour again after he was released from prison on a technicality for sex offences.

"When I come out of this, I feel that I will be able to perform and be the Bill Cosby that my audience knows me to be," Cosby told Spears, as per Variety.

When asked by Spears if he would be able to tour again in 2023, the former Cosby Show star said: "Yes. Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it."

Cosby’s publicist Andrew Wyatt also confirmed to the outlet that the disgraced comedian is 'looking at spring/summer to start touring'.

Last year, the 85-year-old was released after serving two years in prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his sexual assault conviction.

In 2018, America’s former 'TV dad' was found guilty by a jury of three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand in 2004.

However, he managed to walk free after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that Cosby’s rights had been violated as the prosecutor who had brought the case made a deal not to charge him.

But Cosby’s legal troubles have continued while facing allegations of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct from over 60 women.

In June, Cosby was ordered to pay USD $500,000 (£280,322, AUD$742,000) to Judy Huth, who he sexually abused in 1975 at the Playboy Mansion when she was a teenager.

Huth, now 64, was awarded the sum in Los Angeles after jurors decided that Cosby’s conduct was driven by unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in a minor and he caused harmful sexual contact with Huth.

According to the Daily Mail, Cosby’s rep Wyatt revealed he directed a celebratory 'booyah!' Cosby’s way when telling him the news.

The pair 'celebrated' as Cosby thought he’d have to cough up a larger fee.

However, earlier this month, five women filed a lawsuit against the actor and also named NBC for being complicit in his crimes, as per ABC News.

According to the outlet, the lawsuits claims that Cosby 'used his power, fame, and prestige, including the power, fame and prestige given to him by defendants NBCUniversal Media, LLC, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Inc., and The Carsey-Werner Company, LLC, to misuse his enormous power in such a nefarious, horrific way'.
