Security beefed up for Bill Cosby's Friday show at Pueblo's Memorial Hall

Out of the 1,600 seats in Pueblo's Memorial Hall, 1,400 have been filled for Bill Cosby's "Far From Finished" tour on Friday.
No refunds are available, said general manager Brian Hoffman, though there has been a steady stream of requests.

Management is also ramping up security based on reports from recent Cosby appearances.

"There was a situation in Hamilton, Ontario, last Friday that seemed to be an organized protest inside," said Ike Richman, vice president of public relations for Global Spectrum, which operates the venue and schedules the shows.
Although it's not unusual to have security at a performance, he said, they've upped the amount for Friday's performance.
"Anybody who attempts to interrupt a performance will be escorted out immediately," Richman said.
The same goes for protesters outside the venue who block the entrance.
Cosby is also scheduled to perform two shows on Saturday at the Buell Theatre in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Refunds are being issued for those shows.
The 77-year-old comedian has been on tour since late last year, despite a number of sexual allegations against him. Some appearances have been canceled. He has tour dates scheduled across the country through May
