Sombr Defends D.C. Show in TikTok Response, Calls Out 'Body‑Shaming' Backlash

He describes a tween‑heavy audience with comedy limited to a few minutes to explain the show's tone.

Overview

  • A 25-year-old attendee posted a nearly nine-minute TikTok calling Sombr’s Oct. 13 concert at the Anthem “cringe” and warning people over 16 not to attend.
  • The critic highlighted a recurring “Sombr Dating Show” bit, alleged vulgar onstage remarks and a “bark for me” prompt, and argued such content was inappropriate for younger fans.
  • In a TikTok reply, Sombr, 20, said the uproar has fueled a “massive body shaming hate train,” contrasted their ages, and called the complaint a “skill issue.”
  • He said his performances are mostly music with about five minutes of jokes, noted his online persona prepares fans for the humor, and stated all ages are welcome at his shows.
  • Sombr added he had a fever and bronchitis at the D.C. date, while his tour remains sold out and he is slated to perform on Saturday Night Live on Nov. 8.
