(TRENTON, NJ) -- ** THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED **

Get ready for an evening of uproarious comedy as Pete Davidson, the multi-talented stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and producer, takes the stage at the historic Patriots Theater at the War Memorial on August 18, 2024. Known for his sharp wit and fearless humor, Davidson has established himself as a comedic powerhouse through his work on Saturday Night Live and a string of acclaimed film and television projects.

Davidson's dynamic career includes starring in Peacock's semi-autobiographical comedy series "Bupkis," which he co-created, co-wrote, and executive produced. Following the success of its debut season, production for its highly anticipated second season is set to begin later this year. He recently made a triumphant return to SNL, hosting the season premiere to rave reviews.

Named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 and recognized as one of Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2022, Davidson continues to push boundaries in comedy. His stand-up specials, including "Pete Davidson: Alive From New York" and the newly released Netflix special "Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli," showcase his unique comedic voice and storytelling prowess.

Tickets are available for purchase online start June 21 at 10:00am. Patriots Theater at The War Memorial is located at 1 Memorial Drive in Trenton, New Jersey.
