Pete Davidson is a busy guy.
Beyond his work as a rising star on “Saturday Night Live” and his apparently budding romance with actress Kate Beckinsale, the Staten Island comic has also been squeezing in stand-up sets around the country over the last month.
The comedian perhaps best-known for his short-lived engagement to pop superstar Ariana Grande announced Friday, Feb. 15 that he would perform stand-up comedy in New Jersey just five days later, at the South Orange Performing Arts Center Tuesday night. The show sold out within hours, The Guardian reports, as had his January shows alongside comedian John Mulaney in New Brunswick
But Davidson, 25, has now pulled out of the SOPAC gig at the last minute. Ticket holders were notified Monday night that the Wednesday SOPAC show had been canceled, citing “unforeseen conflicts,” Page Six reports.
Yes, the show was announced and then canceled within four days. The cause of the cancellation is unknown.
Davidson appeared in his normal slot on “SNL” Saturday night, impersonating actor Rami Malek in an installment of “Celebrity Family Feud.”
Davidson recently got two neck tattoos representing his relationship with Grande covered up. During their only-months-long engagement, both he and Grande had gotten matching “Mille Tendresse” tattoos on the back of their necks — a reference to “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” — which Davidson covered with the word “CURSED.” He also got the black Playboy bunny head on the side of his neck — representative of Grande’s 2016 “Dangerous Woman” album — covered with a dark heart.
Davidson was seen with his new flame Beckinsale leaving a comedy club in Los Angeles earlier this month.
