Pete Davidson at Terry Fator Theatre
Pete Davidson is very much a comedian of his generation. Weaned on social media and steeped in the culture of overshare, there isn’t much in his life that’s off-limits, including the death of his father, who was a first responder on 9/11. Davidson makes no secret of his health struggles, both mental and physical, as well as his romantic travails. (His short-lived romance and engagement with Ariana Grande was memorialized in the singer’s hit “Thank U, Next.”)
Davidson has been with Saturday Night Live since 2014 (the year the show turned 40) and became the first cast member born in the ’90s. By the time last season wrapped, it was clear he was onto a new kind of comedy for the venerated skit show. “Pete Davidson had become a character, and his real life was game for comedy, wrinkles and all,” Travis M. Andrews wrote in The Washington Post. See the comedian’s ongoing autobiography when he makes his debut at Aces of Comedy in the Mirage. August 25, 8 p.m., $44-$55. –Genevie Durano
