Who Is Theo Von?

Theo Von (born March 19, 1980) is an American stand-up comedian, podcast host, and entertainer from Covington, Louisiana. He first gained national attention as a cast member on MTV’s Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour in the early 2000s, then competed on Season 4 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. But it was his podcast This Past Weekend, launched in 2016, that transformed him into one of comedy’s biggest names.

This Past Weekend has grown into a cultural phenomenon — ranked as the fourth-biggest podcast globally on Spotify with over two million weekly downloads. In July 2025, Time magazine named Theo to its inaugural TIME100 Creators list in the “Leaders” category, recognizing his influence as a digital tastemaker. His guest list reads like a who’s who of entertainment, from Joe Rogan and Pete Davidson to Louis C.K. and Lainey Wilson. He currently splits time between Nashville and Los Angeles.

Netflix Specials & Comedy Career

Theo has released multiple stand-up specials that showcase his evolution as a comedian:

• No Offense (2016) — His Netflix debut, taped at the Civic Theatre in New Orleans, featuring raw confessional humor about addiction, family, and Southern life
• Regular People (2021) — Filmed at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, this special introduced Theo to a massive new audience through Netflix and cemented his reputation as a top-tier storyteller
• Dark Arts (2020) — A comedy album chronicling his two-year tour across America, Australia, and Europe

Beyond specials, Theo has performed for U.S. troops overseas through USO tours and has made appearances on shows like Inside Amy Schumer, Why? with Hannibal Buress, and Kill Tony. His guest spots on The Joe Rogan Experience, Hot Ones, and Logan Paul’s Impaulsive have generated some of the most-watched comedy clips on the internet.

The Theo Von Live Experience

If you’ve only experienced Theo through podcasts and specials, the live show is a revelation. His performances typically run 60–90 minutes and feature an opening act handpicked by Theo before the headliner takes the stage. The atmosphere at a Theo Von show is unlike most comedy events — the audience skews young and enthusiastic, and the energy in the room feeds directly into Theo’s improvisational style. He’s been known to go on extended riffs inspired by crowd interactions, making each show genuinely unique.

Theo’s comedy style blends deeply personal autobiography with surreal, almost poetic observations. His stories about growing up in Louisiana — eccentric neighbors, gas station characters, backyard misadventures — are delivered with a cadence and vocabulary that feel entirely his own. Underneath the humor is a surprising emotional depth; Theo has been open about his struggles with addiction and mental health, and that honesty gives his comedy a weight that resonates beyond simple laughs.
