Early Life
Theo Von was born in Covington, Louisiana, the United States on March 19, 1980. His parents, Roland Achilles and Gina Capitani belong to different cultural backgrounds so Theo has got a mix of it all: Native American, Polish, Italian, and Irish.
Theo has three siblings; a brother who is older than him as well as two younger sisters. But he must not have had the best childhood experience as he decided to get himself emancipated at the age of 14.
Theo graduated from Mandeville High School in Louisiana. He continued his education at Louisiana State University for quite some time before switching to three other institutions: the University of Arizona, Santa Monica College, as well as College of Charleston.
After a roller coaster of changes, he finally finished his undergraduate studies at the University of New Orleans in 2011. Throughout his undergrad years, he focused on subjects like human behavior, gender differences, human sexuality, and American politics.
Career
Theo Von has always wanted to be recognized as a comedian more than a reality star. Any stand-up comedian knows how hard it is to really stand out in this industry.

Theo Von’s road to success initially took place at the age of 19 when he appeared on the reality television series “Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Rules” followed by the “Real World/Road Rules Challenge”.
He won second place in the “Battle of Seasons” in 2002. In 2006, things started to work in his favor when he appeared on “Last Comedy Standing” on NBC. This allowed him to portray his comedic skills and tour multiple countries across the globe.
Two years later, Theo reappeared on the television show “America’s Prom Queen” as a panelist. Followed by that, Von joined the Comedy Central show, “Reality Bites Back” as one of the members. Around the same time, Theo got himself into multiple shows including “Hello Ross”, “Chelsea Lately”, and “The Arsenio Hall Show”.
By then, Theo had already established a significant presence on the television as well as online which got him selected as the host of the show “No Time” on Yahoo.
He went on launching his first podcast show called “The Comedy Sideshow” in April 2011. One of Theo’s biggest breaks was when he got a deal with Netflix for his 1-hour special show “No Offense” in 2016. Theo also hosted three seasons of “Deal with It”.
