Despite the accusations of sex assaults that have hit him side by side for weeks now, still, comedian Bill Cosby believes that the show must go on... And there's no stopping him from doing that.

Yep, you heard it right. Bill Cosby is still performing at a suburban New York venue next weekend, CBS New York reports.

However, the beleaguered comic genius is willing to give refunds to ticket holders who decide not to see him perform.

An article from the Journal News confirmed that Cosby will have two shows lined up on Dec. 6 at the Tarrytown Music Hall.

Ticket holders received emails from the box office Friday offering them refunds if they decide to skip the show.

The email announced that it was Cosby's management who decided to offer said reimbursement.

Cosby was slated to appear in Tarrytown, NY, long before the comedian got embroiled in the heightened sexual assault allegations that have hounded him for decades.

His career has already suffered a setback, notably the cancellation of his long-awaited TV comeback.

In a statement, Tarrytown Music Hall's executive director told CBS2 cancelling the show wouldn't hurt the comedian financially since his contract guaranteed that he'd receive a fee whether he performs or not.

The shows' tickets have already gone near sold-out before the scandal erupted, but ticket holders have recently requested for refunds. The music hall, however, is not in the capacity to offer refund or turn Cosby away, so they offered them an option, giving patrons an open seat protest list which would be given to the comedian after the show.

The comedian has already endured show cancellations in some other states after woman after woman appeared to slap Cosby with sexual assault claims.

As of press time, Cosby is still slated to appear on 30 confirmed shows through May 2015.

Cosby has never issued any statement with regards to allegations against him, continually denying the claims through his lawyer.
