‘SNL’ comic reportedly bails on Bridgeport gig

BRIDGEPORT — “Saturday Night Live” cast member and stand up comic Pete Davidson reportedly walked out on a show at The Stress Factory in Bridgeport Monday night, standing that the club’s owner, Vinnie Brand, had made jokes about Davidson’s love life.

According to “Us Weekly,” Brand went out on stage — against Davidson’s wishes — and said “‘don’t ask any questions about his exes Ariana Grande or Kate Beckinsale.”

Davidson, 25, reportedly apologized to fans via his Instagram Stories account later that night and promised to reschedule a show for them in the next week at a different location.

Fans also took to social media, including the Stress Factory Facebook page. Under a post announcing that Davidson would be performing, disappointed fans complained about the fact that he never took the stage. However, it seemed Brand performed in his place.

“Was in attendance last night and Pete never performed but I’ll tell you what Vinnie put on one hell of a good show!” wrote one poster. “Definitely a great time, was my first time there and I’ll be back.”

Another fan said she was “disappointed that he walked out” and did not perform.

Brand could not be reached at the club Tuesday morning.

One of Davidson’s claims to fame is that he is the youngest member of the current “SNL” cast, as well as the first “ cast member to be born in the 1990s.

Davidson shot his first one-hour stand up special for Comedy Central in 2016 and was named one of Forbes’ 2016 “30 Under 30.”
