Netflix Is a Joke Festival: 31 acts see around Los Angeles

Showcase: Pete Davidson and Best Friends Pete Davidson on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” last year. As one of the biggest draws on the festival’s first full day, the famously depressed celebrity will undoubtedly speak to the younger generations that have grown up through one disaster after another — while nearly everyone over 40 wonders how anyone could find him funny, attractive or charming. In an industry full of problematic middle-aged men, Davidson has already established himself as one of the most prominent and successful millennial comedians, and he doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Pete Davidson and Best Friends perform at 7 and 10 p.m. at the Fonda Theatre, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles Spotlight: Mo Amer Comedian Mo Amer on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” in 2019. With more than two decades of experience, a pair of Netflix specials and major film and TV credits to his name — including the role of cousin Mo in “Ramy” and a new Netflix series — Amer’s next task is to get the party started this week — by hosting the very first showcase of the festival on Wednesday as well as headlining two sold-out shows on Friday night at the Peppermint Club.
