Bill Cosby will come to ISU in October CY Stephens has announced their line up for next year’s performances. The season begins 7:30 p.m. on October 18 with a performance given by comedian Bill Cosby. Cosby is known for his starring role in “The Cosby Show,” which aired for eight seasons from 1984 to 1992. He has multiple Grammy, Emmy, and People’s Choice awards for comedy appearances throughout his life. According to Cosby’s website, “his role on TV’s I Spy made him the first African American to costar in a dramatic series, breaking television’s racial barrier.” He has starred in the movie “Uptown Saturday Night” and has written best-selling books like “Fatherhood” and “I Didn’t Ask to be Born (But I’m glad I was).” Tickets for CY Stephens’ shows went on sale for renewing and new donors and subscribers Wednesday. Public tickets go on sale September 9. Tickets can be bought at the Iowa State Center Ticket Office. The office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m.
