Pete Davidson kicked a heckler out of his stand-up show for making a Mac Miller joke

During his most recent stand-up show, comedian Pete Davidson removed a member of the audience after they heckled him about the late Mac Miller.

Davidson, who became engaged to Ariana Grande months after she and the rapper broke up, was performing at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in New Jersey.

The Saturday Night Live host began a joke with “My friend died in my apartment”, to which a heckler in the audience responded, yelling: “Mac Miller?”

In audio obtained by TMZ Davidson can be heard halting the entire set, before asking the crowd to point out the “fuckface” who made the comment in order to kick them out.

“I’ll leave,” Davidson is heard threatening the crowd, “So if you want the show to continue, call out the person who did it, get him the fuck out. I don’t deal with that shit. This show is just for fun, so I’m not going to have that shit at my show.”

Rounds of applause are heard following his comments as the heckler is removed from the venue.

Pete Davison’s return to stand up comes months after he revealed via a post on Instagram that his break-up with Grande has contributed to him being bullied online and feeling suicidal.

On thank u, next., Grande’s latest LP which dropped this month, she appeared to tackle to death of Miller and it impacts on her and Davidson’s relation in haunting track, ‘ghostin’.
