Colin Jost, the second-best-known Saturday Night Live personality from Staten Island — after Pete Davidson, of course — is hitting San Antonio for a night of laughs and looks behind the SNL curtain.
At first glance, stand-up comedy might not seem to be entirely in Jost’s wheelhouse. After all, following his graduation from Harvard, he got his start on SNL behind the scenes as a writer, then ascending to a spot as co-anchor of the show’s classic news roundup segment Weekend Update alongside fellow writer Michael Che.
As Jost might tell you, though, he and stand-up have a long history together. In fact, in his 2020 memoir A Very Punchable Face, he writes about his many nights working on bits in New York bars and comedy clubs. “If you’re funny onstage, it’s undeniable,” he says. “And when you’re killing, there’s nothing else in the world you’d rather be doing.”
$39.50 and up, 8 p.m. Friday, June 16, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
