This breakup was excellent for Pete Davidson's comedy, bad for Pete Davidson

Pete Davidson, 24 years Saturday Night Live cast member, found the comedy in his relationship with Ariana Grande. And now, he finds comedy in the dissolution of their relationship. This is the custom and perhaps the curse of a professional comedian. Until a week ago, Davidson was engaged to the pop singer and lived with her in an apartment in a neighborhood of N.Y.C. that she would have bought for $ 16 million. Then they broke off the engagement officially (publicly) on October 14th. While the celebrity iron was still hot this weekend, Davidson made his first public comments on the break by suspending his bill with Judd Apatow. On Saturday, the director-producer staged a performance for Swing Left at Largo's Coronet in West Hollywood titled Judd & Pete for America.

Davidson, joking with Apatow, said, "Well, you put me on the flyer, I had [come], "According to E! News." F – k my feelings. "

To which Apatow would have replied: "I care more about America than about your feelings."

"I have the impression of being America," Davidson said. "I'm a good guy who keeps getting kicked. You are like, 'Ah, this poor f-king. I hope that he will not kill himself. "It's America."

The Davidson set was largely based on the relationship, as expected (and, if we are honest, we want). Davidson's comedy is confessional and plays a self-disparaging version in his late appearances and daily work. Topics such as his sobriety, mental health and his hometown of Staten Island often provide his most memorable documents. His relationship with one of the world's best-known pop stars gave him seemingly unlimited fodder and pushed him further into the spotlight as he spoke of the shifting gap in the power of the stars. life situation, their pet pig.

So also in the breakup. Davidson, recognizing the elephant in the room, told the crowd, "Well, as you can tell, I do not want to be here. A lot of things are happening. Does any one have open rooms? Looking for a roommate?

Then he turned to the tattoos of couples that have been the subject of many discussions (he has covered at least one, the Dangerous Woman mask behind his ear is now a big black heart). "Um, I cover a lot of tattoos, it's fun," said Davidson. "I'm king 0 for 2 in tattoo [department]. Yes, I'm afraid to get my mother tattooed, it's so bad. "

He described how, when they became engaged for the first time, they were tattooed one to the other. An anonymous magazine questioned his readers: "Was Pete Davidson stupid?" And "93%" responded in the affirmative. "So my boy, he was like, 'do not listen to that, dude, they're literally mad with hate." "And I'm like, yes, that's it." I'm not stupid. other day we were in my kitchen and he said to me, "Yo, my brother, it turns out you were stupid.
