Pete Davidson is coming to Medford Square for a New Year’s Eve show.

The 25-year-old “Saturday Night Live’’ star will headline a New Year’s Eve performance “with friends’’ at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford. Davidson, currently the youngest cast member on “SNL,’’ is keeping the list of friends under wraps for now, according to a representative for the theater.

The announcement of the show comes the same day as Davidson posted on Instagram about the bullying he’s received since his brief engagement to singer Ariana Grande was called off, and before.
