Overview

• During the New York taping, Von told the audience he was “trying not to take my own life,” a statement captured in widely shared videos.
• Attendees described repeated false starts, exits from the stage, and on‑mic requests for punchline prompts, with some saying a noticeable share of the crowd left early.
• The performance was part of a Netflix stand‑up special recording on Sept. 27, reported as the first of two scheduled tapings that night.
• As of the latest coverage, neither Netflix nor Theo Von has provided a detailed public statement on the disrupted show or plans for the special.
• Earlier in the week, DHS posted an X video using a clip of Von and later removed it after he objected publicly to the use and characterization.
