Bill Cosby returning to Hanover Theatre

Bill Cosby is known as a great storyteller in comic routines that develop multiple characters and situations.
Here's a story about that.
Cosby, who returns to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts (he was there in 2009) for a performance at 8 p.m. Friday, learned something while honing his comedy act earlier in his career. “People laugh, but may not repeat,” he said of show-goers.
