Theo Von: Regular People

I honestly don't think Theo has cemented his standup style yet. He does great on his podcasts where he just lets his mind roam free and comes up with hilarious and witty bits on the spot, but his specials are completely different. I gave him a pass on the first one (with the shorter haircut) because it was a long time ago. I figured he had found more of his style this time around, but unfortunately, I got the same vibe as the first one. I will continue to support Theo in everything he does. He's a heartwarming, hilarious human being and there is no one like him on the planet. I just hope his next special is better.

I think this guy is pretty funny in podcasts, but his schtick does get old. This is a really bad hour. I got boredafter 8 minutes. I mean it's really, really bad.

I saw this material live back in 2019 and it does play better in person with an audience. Theo is a naturally weird funny guy and his podcast is entertaining because it allows him to riff. His joke writing skills are lacking and some of this material is not ready for prime time. There are a few good laughs though.

Theo is funny on his podcast but I feel like he is just too nervous during filming. He has a cult following though so whoever goes to his shows will still participate because they like him as a person. As much as I wanted to like this special more, it just seemed like fake stories with even more zany cartoon like scenarios expanding from them.

Theo continually disappoints me with his stand up specials. His comedy in at its peak during his podcast. He is so much funnier when he's in the flow and off the top of his head. One of the best comedians working today. However, when he writes it out (even if he is taking stories that he said on his podcast) and has to perform it, it just isn't the same. He hasn't figured out how to translate his comedy onto the big screen. It isn't just slightly less funny, but it's borderline not funny at all. It hurts to say because I love Theo and think he is the funniest comedian in the world on his podcast. I think Theo would do so much better if instead of a special, he did some sort of show where he got to play off other things. Like improv style where he reacts and talks about funny news stories, videos, tiktoks, people, has guests, etc. Something that is off the top of his head and keeps him in the flow. Anyways, this special isn't very funny, but the comedian is tier 1. I hope he finds his big screen mojo soon because he deserves a bigger following and recognition.
