EXCLUSIVE: New York comic Graham Kay has announced a new special, Pete & Me, that’ll premiere on Nateland Entertainment‘s YouTube page today at 4 p.m. CT/ 5 p.m. ET. He also unveiled a trailer, which you can view above.
In the special, Kay blends stand-up with heartfelt storytelling about life alongside his older brother Pete, who has profound autism, a condition describing those on the autism spectrum who need the highest level of support. He unpacks family chaos, childhood resentment, adulthood, loneliness, guilt, and the strange, tender rituals that define his bond with his brother, in an intimate, offbeat portrait of brotherhood, responsibility, and the kind of love that doesn’t always look conventional, but lasts a lifetime.
Pete & Me comes in recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, which is underway, emphasizing the importance of sharing authentic perspectives and stories from within the autism community. It marks Kay’s fourth special on the heels of Low Talking & Yelling (2024), Live in a Bowling Alley (2022), and Stupid Jokes (2020).
Kay taped the hour at the SoHo Playhouse in Manhattan, New York. Eytan Millstone & Dan Bricker directed, with Nate Bargatze & Adrian Kulp exec producing, and Nateland Entertainment producing.
An award-winning stand-up comedian, actor and TV writer, Kay has been seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Bring the Funny. In addition, he has appeared in the film Super Troopers 2 and has three comedy albums that can be heard on SiriusXM Radio. He is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment.
