OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT/Gray News) - Comedian Pete Davidson reportedly ended one of his recent standup shows early after he was subjected to an unruly audience.

According to multiple reports, the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member was performing at Steelhouse Omaha on Friday night as part of his Prehab Tour when the “relentless heckling” occurred.

WOWT reports that patrons at the show said some of the audience members became loud and disruptive, particularly later into Davidson’s act before he abruptly walked off the stage.

Several people commented about the performance on social media, with most comments pointed toward the unruly audience members for interrupting the show.

“It’s just absolutely absurd. You’re ruining it for the whole show,” The Independent quoted a fan.

On Reddit, another fan shared their experience that evening while supporting Davidson’s action.

“Good on Pete for disciplining the petulant audience that showed up like an attention-seeking 3-year-old demanding their presence noticed while the adults talk,” they shared. “Truly disappointing.”

According to Live Nation, Davidson is scheduled to perform next in Canada at the Fallsview Casino on June 8.
