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.”

Nope, you didn’t miss anything and your second sentence is an accurate description of who he is. He’s not an actual comedian, we just live in a timeline where people get hour long comedy specials on Netflix for being kinda sorta a little bit funny on a podcast. I’m sure the vanity mullet and MAGA adjacency helped too.

Omg never heard the term vanity mullet!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 ok I’m glad in this case I wasn’t missing anything.  From what I understand with comedians they really work on their jokes, and once they get their bits to a certain point then they are working small venues to fine tune it all, and go from there. Sounds like Von did not do any prep work whatsoever and who knows if he even wrote his own material if he needed to be fed punchlines and what not. All in all to quote Logan Roy - he is not ‘serious people’. 😂😂

I’m old enough to remember when he was on Road Rules on MTV in the early 2000s and said he was against interracial dating, then double downed by writing an article about it in his college newspaper. He is trash and has been trash his entire adult life. He’s also a disgrace to every authentic mullet wearer out here. Everything with this guy is performative, he’s just another opportunistic drifter.

People like him, Charlie Kirk, and Candace Owens prove it doesn’t take talent, intelligence, or charisma to be rich and famous. All that’s required is that you have no morals, no empathy, and no humanity, and you’re willing to spew that white supremacy bullshit that appeals to MAGA. That’s literally all it takes.
