It's nothing to laugh about.
Bill Cosby's final stop on his Canada tour ended with protesters slamming him as a serial rapist.
The embattled funnyman was about a half-hour into his set Friday night at the Hamilton Place theater when about 30 people stood up and chanted "We believe the women."
The hecklers continued shouting and blew rape whistles as security ushered them out of the theater in Hamilton, Ontario. Outside some 150 protesters waved signs slamming Cosby.
More than 20 women have accused Cosby of drugging them and sexually assaulting them. He's denied the allegations and has never been charged.
One protester even called Cosby "an arrogant piece of s---," according to tweets from the scene.
Earlier in the show, the comedian had acknowledged he might be interrupted. Security was tight.
"Whatever happens here tonight if there's some sort of outburst, we just have to remain calm and things will be taken care of. It oughtn't last that long," Cosby said. "I want to thank all of you here tonight because you stayed with what you believed in."
After the protest, Cosby resumed cracking jokes. Many in the audience shouted their support for the 77-year-old, and he received a standing ovation at the end of his routine.
The conclusion of his three-show tour was still not nearly as awkward as his gig Thursday, when he cracked a bad joke about the accusations that have destroyed his reputation.
"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby told a woman who had gotten up to grab a drink at his London, Ontario, performance.
