He\u2019s 85 years old. I don\u2019t know a lot of 85-year-old comedians on tour, especially with his history. I know that my name is forever going to be tied to Bill Cosby because of this project, and I\u2019m proud of the work put into it and I stand by it, but I won\u2019t be buying tickets if he goes on tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In accepting his award, Bell, feted by <em>Cassandro<\/em> filmmaker Roger Ross Williams, detailed his path from \u201cweirdo\u201d to stand-up comedy fan to stand-up comedian to executive producer and director of the award-winning\u00a0<em>We Need to Talk About Cosby<\/em>.

I could only blame myself.
