Pete Davidson Is Making His Fans Sign An NDA Before His Shows

Pete Davidson is asking his fans to sign a non-disclosure agreement before seeing one of his stand-up shows, and if an audience members breaks that signed NDA by tweeting or Instagramming opinions about the show, they can be sued for $1 million. First of all, that’s cute that Pete Davidson thinks his fans have $1 million. Pete should have started out much lower and made the punishment much harsher for his fans. Like if you tweet about his show, you owe him your entire stash and no video games for a month!

According to Variety fans got served the NDA before his show in San Francisco:

Most recently, fans attending Davidson’s standup at the Sydney Goldstein Theater were asked to sign a lengthy contract that forbade them from tweeting or instagramming any opinions about the performance.

One attendee, Stacy Young, originally discovered by Consequence of Sound, posted the alleged NDA on her Facebook. It stated: “the individual shall not give any interviews, offer any opinions or critiques, or otherwise participate by any means or in any form whatsoever (including but not limited to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, or any other social networking or other websites whether now existing or hereafter created).”

You can see that joke of an NDA here.

That NDA is probably funnier than any jokes that Pete Davidson tells during his stand-up show, so whoever wrote it up should really be the comedian. But Pete is probably making his fans do this, because his thin skin gets even thinner when stuff gets out about his shows like him going full “get off my lawn” by calling his college-aged audience “privileged little shits” and “retarded.”

Stacy Young said that she understands that comedians don’t want their jokes getting taken out of context and don’t want to worry about workshopping newer material, but she refused to sign that ridiculousness and got a refund.

“I didn’t want to sign it because it was basically saying that I wasn’t able to comment on it or have an opinion,” Young told Variety. “The most you could say is ‘no comment.’” After refusing to sign the NDA emailed to her from the venue, Young was given a full refund but there was no additional information as to why this was happening. “I called the box office and wondered if it was for a special, but they didn’t have any information.”

“I understand that comedians are protective of their material,” Young added. “But to not be allowed to express an opinion, whether I liked it or not, is off-putting in an Orwellian thought police way.”

I would love to see a more detailed NDA, though. Like is there a clause that says it’s ok to share opinions on Pete having a huge schlong and dating hot women?! And if Pete’s fans wanted to get revenge on him, and have the last laugh, they should join forces and all break their NDAs by tweeting about his show, which would lead to him finally getting out of his mom’s basement. And not because he got his own place, but because he’d have to sell her house to pay his lawyer fees.
