re: Theo Von a baw?

Him and Bobby Lee together is comedy gold

This is gonna be like Olivia Dunn where he says something y’all don’t like and y’all hate him


But I’m gonna be the first one to say he’s not that good

quote:

In the right environment he is great.

Absolutely

I don’t listen to his standup or even much of his main podcast

When he’s really trying to perform it turns me off sometimes

But his normal, irl sense of humor is hilarious

quote:

---

he grew up in Covington

He tells stories from his youth but it’s hard to really pinpoint specific places. Mandeville folks say he grew up there more so than Covington. The only story he told that I knew where he was talking about was he said they’d use a big slingshot to shoot water balloons at gay couples in the woods by the I-12 rest area just west of the Tchefuncte River. The story didn’t sound feasible but at least I knew the locale. (In b4 knew it cause it’s a gay hookup spot. Grow up.)

You live in Louisiana and Theo Von is what gets you to care about people wasting other people's money?


Also Theo Von was a podcaster/comedian years before he was on Rogan.

I’ll be at his show in Shreveport too, I went to one in Lafayette a few years ago, I thought he was great live

Theo is an example of the overall issue I have with standup comedians who got into podcasting. Like many of those people who started podcasts and had them be successful, Theo isn't a great standup comedian. He/they wouldn't be booked as headliners of the rooms nationally on their own standup comedic chops without their podcast fanbase.

I've seen several successful podcast hosts do sets live, outside of their podcast, and good ones are hard to come by. Part of that is that they either weren't that great and/or weren't very seasoned prior to gaining big followings, or the fact that their podcasts take up a whole lot of time and they just don't get to put in the stage time needed to create/perfect a really good hour. So, when you see them, especially if you're primarily a fan of their podcasts (which probably accounts for 85% of casual comedy fans at a show), you're left disappointed. At the end of the day, without that podcast most of those people wouldn't be shelling out $40+ and buying a minimum of two items to see their show.

Bobby Lee

I listened to a podcast recently with him as the guest.

Holy frick he was so bad. He had a weird attitude of like not giving a frick but in the worst kind of way. Not like oh I don't care what people think of me I'm proud of who I am. But moreso "I don't give a frick because I'm the only thing I care about"
