Saturday Night Live alumni Pete Davidson and Colin Jost have successfully converted a decommissioned Staten Island ferry into a unique entertainment venue. The duo purchased the ferry in 2022 for $280,000.
Recently, the ferry served as the stage for a one-night-only comedy show presented by Snapple. This event marked a significant step in their ambitious project, fulfilling a promise to utilize the vessel in an unconventional way.
The comedy night, held on Thursday, September 17, featured a lineup of emerging comedians. Davidson humorously noted the absurdity of the venture, stating it made sense in a way that "still doesn't make much sense."
The ferry is currently docked at Pier 17 in Lower Manhattan. Notable performers included Ronny Chieng, Jay Jurden, and Sal Vulcano. Davidson previously joked about the financial strain of the ferry, humorously linking it to his participation in the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
