Fans online are coming to Pete Davidson’s defense after the comedian lost his cool and was forced to walk off stage before finishing a set in Omaha, Nebraska due to heckling.
The 30-year-old former Saturday Night Live regular was hounded by rowdy fans during his Prehab Tour stop on Friday night and ended the show early as a result.
Following the debacle, a fan named Kate Stivers took to YouTube to speak out in support of the actor, with others also coming to his defense.
‘Where the f**k did decorum go at events because he shouldn’t have had to walk off stage because you guys don’t understand that because you see crowd work on TikTok that you think every comedian needs to be heckled to the point that they leave stage with one joke left,’ the influencer said in part.
The show took place at the venue Steelhouse Omaha.

Stivers went on to add, ‘It’s just absolutely absurd. You’re ruining it for the whole show.’
She noted that attendees were required to hand over their phones ahead of the performance, stating that she agrees with the policy.
‘There should be no tolerance. You need to immediately be kicked the f**k out,’ the YouTuber proclaimed in her spirited rant.
Other users on the platform echoed her sentiments.
‘I was at this show, and unfortunately ended up sitting by one of the women being a problem. It was embarrassing to say the least.
‘Disappointed Nebraska didn’t allow him to feel respected enough to finish his set. Definitely embarrassing for Omaha, and sad that has to be his last taste of our city,’ one person lamented.
Another added, ‘I’ve been to so many comedy shows in Omaha and don’t understand why people feel like they need to be part of the show.’
The person continued, ‘I’m here to see the comedian, not hear your comments that are so funny to your garage beer drinking buddies. That made me so sad for Pete and all the people who paid the money and waited in line to see that second show.’

Per Page Six, a Pete supporter on Reddit also contributed to the conversation: ‘I was there and it was so s****y.
‘He was so close to being done and we lost out on a great ending to a great show because people suck.’
Davidson is scheduled to next take the stage on Saturday, June 8 in Niagara Falls at OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.
The tour will then head to Wisconsin, where he has two shows scheduled on June 12 and June 13.
