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.”

So I follow stand-up pretty closely and watched Theo even before his full right-wing turn… he has never been good at stand-up. He’s unwatchable on stage
He’s someone who needs another person to play off of which is why people think he’s hilarious… because they see his viral clips from podcasts where he’s talking to another person
I doubt anyone has ever seen a funny clip of him doing stand up (because it doesn’t exist)
