LOS ANGELES (KNX) - Bill Cosby is eyeing a return to touring in 2023.

During a radio interview Wednesday on "WGH Talk," Cosby said "yes" when asked if 2023 is the year he might finally be able to tour again.

A representative for the comedian reportedly confirmed that he is looking to start touring in the spring or summer.

The 85-year-old was convicted in Pennsylvania in April 2018 of criminal sex assault. He served almost three years before his conviction was overturned by the state supreme court.

Most recently, five women filed new sexual assault lawsuits against him under a New York law that temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for older sexual assault claims.

A spokesperson for Cosby has called the lawsuits "frivolous," and said the women were part of a "parade of accusers" who previously came forward.
