Pete Davidson is back on stage and naturally wastes no time making jokes about fatherhood.
The comedian, 32, performed at Las Vegas’ The Fontainebleau 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 in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s a lot of fun,” he told the audience, per footage obtained by Us Weekly.
“Having a little girl. It’s weird having a little girl. It’s hard to watch [expletive content]… in front of her.”
He paused for effect before delivering the punchline. “I still did. I flow through.” He was quick to assure the audience that fatherhood itself is “big”.
Davidson and his girlfriend Elise Hewitt, 29, welcomed Scottie Rose, named after Pete’s late father, firefighter Scott Davidson, who died responding to the September 2001 attacks, in December.
The arrival clearly changed something fundamental in him.
speaks to Us Weekly in January, Davidson described the experience in terms significantly different from his usual comic 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 cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long am I going to be gone?'”
He was equally ecstatic to see Hewitt become a mother.
“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 all night as “really f***ing to watch.”
The couple, who started dating in early 2025, are already considering expanding their family.
“We definitely want her to have a friend. We love the idea of her being a big sister,” Davidson said, adding that even considering another child so soon “sounds absolutely crazy right now” but that the whole experience has been “amazing.”
