Video has emerged of protesters in Hamilton, Ontario being thrown out of Cosby’s stand-up show on Friday night.
This week, Bill Cosby played three shows in Canada, some of his first live performances since more than two dozen sexual assault accusations against him became an international news story during the late fall.

During Cosby's comedy show on Friday night in Hamilton, Ontario, a Canadian reporter captured illicit video of protesters disrupting his stand-up.
Peter Kim, whose Twitter bio identifies him as a reporter from Global News Toronto, took this illicit video.

On Friday, as seen and heard in above video, protesters in the theater began chanting, "We believe the women!" Cosby sounded calm as it happened, and, according to two journalists live-tweeting the event, security quickly ushered the protesters out.
According to the reports, and as heard in the video, a man also yelled, "Arrogant piece of shit! Rapist!" He was soon escorted out at Cosby's request as well.
Cosby supporters were also vociferous, yelling, "We love you, Bill!" as the protestors were lead out of the theater.
The rest of the show went on without incident.
