Bill Cosby's Show in Canada was a Failure with Empty Seats and Protesters (photos)

Bill Cosby performed his first of three shows in Canada last night. And despite being surrounded by pictures of him with Nelson Mandela at the show's venue, despite getting a standing ovation inside, Bill Cosby was ridiculed while leaving.

Daily Mail reports that scores of protesters braved below-freezing conditions to shame the besieged comedian. And as he was leaving the Centre In The Square Theatre following the performance - for which seated fans got to their feet to applause -  a heckler approached Cosby, who was well-guarded by security and other entourage members. Using the word consensual to bring up the rape allegations against Cosby, the man shouted out in a video captured by NBC:

'Congratulations on your first show of 2015. Talk about starting the year with a bang! We hope it was consensual, Billy!'  

Dozens of protesters also placarded the venue, carrying signs saying 'rape is no joke.' Some even shouted 'you support rape' and 'shame on you' at fans. See the pics below.
