Viral comedian who made Trump laugh by coming to Alabama in 2025: how to get tickets

Theo Von will perform in Alabama next spring.

The popular comedian and podcast host will appear at Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater in Tuscaloosa on Friday, April 11, 2025.

Tickets go on sale Monday, November 11 at 10 a.m. You can purchase them from Von’s website, Ticket Master or at the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater box office, 2710 Jack Warner Parkway. Prices range from $38 to $102.50.

Born in Covington, Louisiana, Von first rose to prominence as a cast member of MTV’s “Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour” in 2000, when he was just 19 years old. He also attended Louisiana State University. Von, now 44, also appeared in four seasons of the popular reality series “The Challenge,” where he became champion in “The Gauntlet” and “Battle of the Sexes 2.”

A source of comic relief on reality TV, Von pursued a stand-up career that landed him season four of “Last Comic Standing,” for which he won the online competition. He will also appear on the Comedy Central show “Reality Bites Back,” alongside Amy Schumer, Bert Kreischer and Tiffany Haddish.

Von’s comedy career began to take off in the 2010s, as he taped comedy specials and appeared on TV shows like “Chelsea Lately,” “Watch What Happens Live,” “@midnight” and “This is Not Happening.” In 2016, Netflix released its one-hour comedy special “No Offense.”

Von has become a staple of comedy podcasts, appearing on “The Fighter and the Kid,” “Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly” and “The Adam Carolla Show.” Von was also a frequent guest on “The Joe Rogan Experience” while his own podcast “This Past Weekend” grew in popularity. Her YouTube channel has over 3 million subscribers.

Known for his absurdist, stream-of-consciousness, and off-the-cuff humor, Von talks about his Southern upbringing, unique family background, sobriety, and more, telling stories and even giving advice on life and dating to listeners . Vox said Von had “cleverly presented himself as a down-to-earth, down-to-earth guy, a Southern boy from what he described as the rural, poor side of Covington, Louisiana. »

Von made headlines thanks to appearance of President-elect Donald Trump (then GOP candidate) on “This Past Weekend” during the 2024 election campaign, in which von spoke about his past drug use. Other political guests include Senator Bernie Sanders and Vice President-elect JD Vance. Other celebrity guests include Post Malone, John Mulaney, Ed Sheeran, Jessie Murph, Shane Gillis, Druski and Tony Robbins.

College football fans will remember Von’s appearance as a celebrity guest selector in ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ before Alabama-Georgia SEC Championship Game in December 2023. He sat in the middle of the table when analyst Pat McAfee fooled Bulldog fans into thinking he was picking them to beat the Crimson Tide, only to swerve and yell “Give -me Alabama! to send the crowd into frenzy.
