He’s one of the most influential comedians and actors in American history—and, hey, he went to Temple! He’s come back on several occasions over the years, for good times and bad, but mark your calendars, because The Cos just can’t stay away from Philly (and we’re better for it). After telling more than 9,000 graduating Temple seniors in May, “For God’s sake, get a job,” this week he’s hitting the school’s Performing Arts Center. The standup show is a part of the 35th-anniversary fundraiser for the Bushfire Theatre of Performing Arts. Bushfire, founded by Al Simpkins, is the famed troupe of African-American playwrights and local actors based in the century old Locust Theater at 52nd and Locust streets in West Philly. As Cosby said to the Philadelphia Tribune last week: “I can’t tell you how important this theater is to the community, to people who, right there in Philadelphia, can take the family to see something that has the intelligence and the education, the integrity—there is no foolishness—in [Bushfire Theatre] plays.” / RANDY LOBASSO 7:30pm. $30-$50. Temple Performing Arts Center, Lew Klein Hall, 1837 N. Broad St. 215.204.9860. templeperformingartscenter.org
