Bill Cosby Works Older Crowd In 1st Comedy Show Since Trial

1/22/2018 4:50 PM PST

Bill Cosby[1] is back to doing stand-up (or sit-down) for the first time since his sexual assault trial last summer ... and his crowd and venue has certainly changed.

Cosby's performed a live comedy set Monday at the LaRose Jazz Club in Philly alongside the Tony Williams Jazz Quartet. Most of Cosby's material focused on the comedian's struggle with blindness ... he didn't touch his pending tiral.

The disgraced comedian's retrial on sexual assault charges is set to begin in April, and a new jury selection begins at the end of March. He averted a decision this past June when a jury couldn't agree on a verdict ... ending in a mistrial[2].

Looks like Cosby's back to doing his thing -- just on a smaller scale. He also played the drums.
