Bill Cosby’s upcoming show at the Capitol Theatre in Yakima, Wash., has been postponed, the latest fallout in the continuing firestorm revolving around sexual assault allegations against the comedian.

A statement said that Cosby’s Saturday performance at the 1,500-seat theater had been postponed indefinitely.

The Capitol Theatre performance was scheduled the day after Cosby’s date at Las Vegas’ Treasure Island, which was canceled last week in the wake of the allegations.
