'SNL' alum Pete Davidson adds second Oct. 17 show at the Southern Theatre after sellout

If you missed out on snagging tickets for comedian-actor Pete Davidson's Oct. 17 show at the Southern Theatre, you now have a second chance to see the "Saturday Night Live" alum's stand-up act.

Davidson, who's as famous for his dating history as his eight-year stint on "SNL," has added a second show at 9:30 p.m. on the same date. Tickets, which range from $49 to $299, can be purchased at cbusarts.com. There is a six-ticket limit per family/household.

Davidson has been both praised and panned for his highly personal, often-bawdy comedic stand-up routines, which touch on subjects from sex, drugs and relationships to more sensitive topics like losing his firefighter father in the 9/11 attacks.

Davidson was just 20 when he made his SNL debut with the show's 40th-season premiere in September 2014. The young comedian received both audience and critical applause and was quickly hailed as the season's breakout star. The season 47 closer on May 21, 2022, was his final episode on the show.

During his run on the NBC sketch comedy classic, Davidson played numerous characters including his popular recurring turn as oblivious, stoner pool boy, Chad.

While with 'SNL,' Davidson also worked on many other projects including a collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on the alternative rock rapper's 2019 album, "Hotel Diablo," and his critically well-reviewed film, "The King of Staten Island," which he starred in and co-wrote with director Judd Apatow.

Davidson's personal life has been headline fodder for most of his career, particularly since his 2018 engagement to and breakup with singer Ariana Grande. His other much-publicized pair-ups include Kim Kardashian and actress Kate Beckinsale.

The 29-year-old is currently the star of "Bupkis," a Peacock original series that premiered in May. He also beefed up his filmography this year with roles in three major franchise films: Phlektik in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," Bowie in "Fast X," and the voice of Mirage in "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts."

In addition to being cast as the title character in the upcoming Netflix biopic, "I Slept with Joey Ramone," Davidson is a co-writer and executive producer of the movie based on the memoir penned by the late punk rock singer's brother.
