About This Event
Pete Lee is a stand-up comedian known for his multiple appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and viral standup clips on Instagram and TikTok.
Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and has since made 9 appearances on the show including his most recent appearance in 2025. This happened after Jimmy personally attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the show.
Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to pursue a career in entertainment. Soon after moving to NYC, he was selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he was voted a standout performer.
In 2008, Pete made his network television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing finishing as a semi-finalist. That same year, he made his television acting debut on the CBS Soap Opera As The World Turns and shot his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs. In 2021, Pete released his first 1-hour stand-up special, Tall, Dark and Pleasant on Showtime.
Most recently, Lee voiced the lead character Lamb in the Emmy Award winning series Jam Van on YouTube Kids.
Other appearances include VH1’s Best Week Ever, TruTV’s Greatest Ever, Nickelodeon’s NFL Rush, TruTV’s Comedy Knockout, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman.
