Pete Davidson returns to the stage and, of course, wastes no time making jokes about fatherhood.
The comedian, 32, performed at The Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 11, his first stand-up show in five months, and used the set to reflect on life since the birth of his daughter Scottie Rose in December 2025.
“I haven’t done stand-up comedy in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s so much fun,” she told the audience, according to footage obtained by Us weekly.
“I have a girl. It’s strange having a girl. It’s hard to see. [expletive content]…in front of her.”
He paused for effect before delivering the punchline. “I still did it. I get through it.” He was quick to assure the crowd that fatherhood itself is “cool.”
Davidson and his girlfriend Elise Hewitt, 29, welcomed Scottie Rose in December, named after Pete’s late father, firefighter Scott Davidson, who died in response to the September 2001 attacks.
The arrival clearly changed something fundamental in him.
talking to Us weekly In January, Davidson described the experience in terms noticeably different from his usual comedic tone.
“Nothing else matters as much or as intensely as career, activities, hanging out with people [or] What do people think of me? That kind of shit,” he said. “I still want to do interesting things, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be gone?'”
He was equally effusive as he watched Hewitt take on motherhood.
“She definitely knows exactly what to do” when the baby cries, he said, describing his girlfriend’s instincts and her habit of checking the baby monitor app throughout the night as “really cool to see.”
The couple, who started dating in early 2025, are already thinking about expanding their family.
“We want her to have a friend, for sure. We love the idea of her being a big sister,” Davidson said, adding that even contemplating another child so soon “seems absolutely crazy right now” but that the whole experience has been “amazing.”
