Theo Von is setting the record straight after he gave fans a scare with a comment he made about suicide after his Netflix special taping apparently bombed.
On the most recent episode “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von,” the comic addressed a wave of criticism he got after his recent show allegedly went so badly most the audience bailed … which is when he apologized to the remaining crowd, and said “I’m having a long month, I’m trying not to take my own life.”
In a Thursday clip of his podcast, Theo made it clear the show at the Beacon Theatre in New York was not his best — and he points out failure is a part of the craft — but he is definitely not going to take his own life.
It seems Theo’s made peace with whatever the hell went wrong during the taping … and said those who were there can write whatever they want on social media … one bad show won’t derail him.
But again, the most important takeaway is Theo says he’s got zero intent to harm himself … highlighting there are too many people he cares about and who care about him to cut his own life short. Onto the next show!
