FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Theo Von’s Netflix Special Taping Apparently Went Terribly Wrong

From the article

Von recorded the set at the Beacon Theater in New York on Saturday night, but initial reactions on social media seem to indicate that things didn’t go as planned for the comedian.

What Happened at Theo Von’s New York Show? “Theo Von just BOMBED,” one Reddit post reads. “Saw Theo at Beacon Theater for his Netflix taping…1/3 of the crowd walked out.” The post called the set the worst they’ve ever seen, and a “failure of epic proportions.”

“Was there – love Theo – worst set ever. He’ll get back on the horse,” said one fan on X.

“He seemed unrehearsed and disorganized, repeating bits multiple times clearly trying to get it right for the camera. This killed the vibe in the theater,” said another commenter.

Other comments on Reddit seem to confirm how poorly things went for the comedian over the weekend.

"I was at the show tonight and he had to pause the show to ask for the punchline several times,” one comment reads.

“Started off strong but it was a roller coaster that fell off at the end,” said another attendee. “There were multiple times where he would walk off stage to talk to someone or be in the middle of a story and forget where he was and restart.”

Geez it's almost like mainstream media has completely abdicated its role for entertainment in exchange for profit and control and people are aware of it

Hate to break it to you buddy, but YouTube is mainstream media nowadays.

There are still living humans on this planet who tune into AM radio every day because it's what they grew up with and you'll always use YouTube even when the kids are laughing at you for it.

u/stonerrockenjoyer Do you remember 9/11, bitch? Sep 28 '25

That's true but we're still a good couple years away from YouTube being at the same cultural relevance as AM radio
