SNL star Pete Davidson announces comedy shows in Dublin and Belfast
His shows at Dublin's National Stadium on October 9 and the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on October 10 will follow two European gigs in Amsterdam (October 6) and London (October 8).
The news comes days after Davidson's girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced the couple were expecting their first child together.
Only last year, the actor and comedian decided to move away from the spotlight and take a break from live stand-up performances.
In the meantime, the 31-year-old has been working on other projects, including the upcoming horror movie The Home, out this week, as well as Amazon's film The Pick Up, where Davidson co-stars alongside Eddie Murphy (out in August).
Currently, he is shooting for David Leitch's film How to Rob a Bank, set to be released in September 2026.
Davidson is best known for being a long-term cast member of NBC's Saturday Night Live, which featured his singular Weekend Update and original music videos from 2014 to 2022.
After his time with SNL, the Staten Island jokester went on to create his own comedy show, Bupkis—a fictional account of his own life. The 2023 series stars Edie Falco as Davidson's mother and Joe Pesci as his grandfather.
Tickets for his Irish shows in October go on sale this Friday, July 25, via Ticketmaster.ie.
