'The Sopranos' star Edie Falco is set to play Pete Davidson's mom in 'Bupkis'

He began: "I've done a lot of projects that reference my life because that's kind of all I can do."

The stand-up then quipped: "One of the things that sucks about that, though, is my family members, they often get to play themselves because of, you know, the low-budget situation. So, my mom is starting to think of herself as a real actress."

Right before Edie came out on stage, he continued: "And that's why it makes me extremely happy to get to introduce the woman who will be playing my mom - Edie Falco."

Referring to her role as Carmela Soprano in the iconic crime drama series, she joked: "Finally, I get to play an overwhelmed mother of two living in a world of corruption. Except this time, it's Staten Island."

Pete is set to play a version of himself in the TV comedy series.

The 28-year-old actor - who is dating Kim Kardashian - has teamed up with late-night sketch show 'SNL's creator Lorne Michaels, who will ex ecutive produce the series.

Pete is co-writing with regular collaborator Dave Sirus and Judah Miller.

Fans can expect "a raw, unflinching, fictionalised version of Pete Davidson's real life. It will include a mixture of grounded storytelling with absurd elements depicting an unfiltered view through Pete's eyes."

While it's "fictionalised", Pete will show his "real-life persona with an unapologetically unfiltered, R-rated storytelling."

The show has been compared to Larry David's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', the iconic sitcom in which he plays a semi-fictionalised version of himself.

It follows Larry's life as a semi-retired television writer and producer.

Pete drew from his own life for Judd Apatow's 2020 film 'The King of Staten Island'.
