Bill Cosby is coming to town

That’s not a typo—legendary comedian Bill Cosby is indeed coming to Central Oregon, to perform for one show at the Hooker Creek Arena in the Deschutes County Fairgrounds over in Redmond, on Sunday, July 22nd. The show will be at 1pm, and here are the ticket details from C3 Events’ press release:

Tickets will be on sale beginning Friday, April 27 in-person or charge-by-phone at Newport Avenue Market, 541-382-3940. Prices start at $32 for Floor General, and will sell at $38 for Upper Concourse General and $54 for Floor Reserved. Limited general admission tickets will also be available at Ray’s Food Place in Prineville.

C3 has a number of details on their Facebook page, including how you might be able to win tickets from the radio: “Announcements and ticket give aways for Bill Cosby all week, this week, on KQAK 105.7, The Peak 104.1, Lite 95.1, and Newsradio Central Oregon, 1340 KBNW.”

This is certainly one of the more unexpected big-name acts I can think of that’s come to Central Oregon, but it’s pretty cool. And seems reasonably priced too. Show of hands, who’d be interested in going?
