Pete Davidson said his eating habits are influenced by the audience's acceptance of his stand-up comedy shows.

The 28-year-old "Saturday Night Live" comedian told chef and podcast host Lucy Rogers on iHeartMedia's "River Cafe Table 4" podcast on Tuesday that he had lost his appetite after a terrible performance.

He said: "I always eat after the show, and I usually eat according to whether the show is good or not. If the show doesn't go well, I usually don't want to eat, so there will be a few days when I just don't eat."

He said that he now eats before the show, so that if his performance is not good, he is already full and his diet will not be affected by emotions.

Davidson elaborated on what a bad performance was. He said it was a time when he tried new jokes or materials and the audience "didn't dig into it" or laugh. "The excitement you were there has faded, and it's like,'Where is your joke,'" he said.

Davidson also said that for him, stand-up comedy has a very immediate feeling: "You either fly high or crush it, or it's like,'Oh, not so good.' So when you don't do it When it's good, you know."

Rogers classified Davidson's relationship with food as "emotional eating" and told him: "That is to say, my emotions and my performance will affect my feelings, and therefore my eating style."

"Some people might say, after a bad show,'I feel bad, I just want to eat or drink or forget it, but you go the other way,'" she added.

Davidson also told the American-born British restaurant owner that he was not good at cooking. He told her that he could only use the water heater on the coffee machine to make scrambled eggs or "despicable cup noodles" because he could not boil water.
