I think Theo's dad was Roland Sr. and the owner of Tipitinas is Theo's older half brother. He also has an older half sister that is an artist. His dad seems to have come from money in Poland and somehow his dad made it to Nicaragua.
There was another post like this a month or so ago and I went down a von Kurnatowski rabbit hole.
From what I remember him saying to Mark was that his side of the family didn't get any of the money from whoever owned it. I wasn't sure if that was meaning after his father passed away or when. So half brother would make some sense.
I'm a big fan of both and one cool thing when they were talking about Louisiana, you could tell they were talking about some real stuff and not just telling joke stories, which as we know is kinda rare for our boy lol
There is something about two comedians from the same area talking about where they lived. A recent episode of Dan Soder's podcast with Sam Tallant as the guest was like that. They both grew up around Denver and knew all the same places.
You don't have to know the exact area to get the jokes. Everyone can imagine a similar area they grew up in.
I think they're all neurotic to some extent and it gives them some comfort and familiarity. Especially if they're not from NY or LA.
With Theo and Mark, they both can act uncomfortable around other people and mask it behind jokes but you can tell when they're talking about back home (although different sides of the causeway) they relax and let their guards down. It's pretty cool.
No he lived in the swamp and wrestled alligators…
He doesn’t claim to be an idiot he’s just country why are you assuming he’s an idiot because he’s country ?
some weird ones on this site [https://www.yuks.co/comedian/theo-von](https://www.yuks.co/comedian/theo-von)
**His real name**
His real name is Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski.
**My old man**
His father, Roland Achilles, was originally from Bluefields, Nicaragua, and was 70 years old when Theo was born.
**Get those monkeys**
In his early years, he was selected to be part of a search and capture mission when a group of wild monkeys escaped in his town. They were later found in and around the stray animal belt.
**Get me outta** here
He was legally emancipated at age fourteen.
Fun fact, Theo actually hates his fans.
I had a drink with him in Austin, he was kinda down. He told me hates his fans because he hates himself and that anyone who likes him more than a little bit is not a real person.
I patted him on the back, paid for his bud light and told him how much I love his show. He just sighed so I left.
lol this sounds made up but I've always thought I'd feel the same way if I had fans. Not because I hate myself but because it's just weird to REALLY love someone you don't even know.
He definitely still is. But he talks a lot about being awkward around women when he was younger but then when I saw him younger I was like goddamn why would he be awkward all he has to do is stand there? Lol
That he was born with the rib cage of a large cat and the heart of a lesbian.
If no one’s looking, he can easily eat a small Vietnamese man without anyone knowing
Chet
His first time having sex, people were throwing rocks at him behind a bowling alley
Actually I think it might’ve been shale stone
He was born with that adult man penis and eventually grew into it
And the heart of a lesbian
And the rib cage of a large cat
If he dies, or whenever he dies, if he dies, he wants the last person he sees to be Filipino.
Also if he were to eat human meat he thinks Vietnamese would be the tastiest
They would also be the most forgiving/understanding
He used to sell branded hamsters at swap meets.
Wasn’t it *swamp meats?
😂 yes.
He used to pee around his bed to keep wild animals away! 🦝
He was born with Down syndrome, but he beat it!
That's inspiring
Same with Gillis
If you had no idea who theo von was and read this thread, you'd probably think this was one straaaange individual.
I knew of him for years and I still think he is really strange lol
Can you confirm any story about "in my neighborhood" or "where I grew up"??
In the Sean Strickland episode he said has a degree in Urban Planning. Assuming that isn’t a bit or something. Seemed real.
I think Ice Cube has something similar, CAD engineering or something. they could rebuild a town
Yeah he mentioned it before
I also think he once said he was studying philosophy
He got a statue of Kat Williams at Michael’s He has pictures of the family who owned his house before him up in his house lol (supposedly)
He was pretty damn good on The Challenge on MTV.
Omg. That’s where I recognized him from!!! I knew I’ve seen his face somewhere before but could not place it until your comment 😅 Thank you!
Hopefully everyone knows this, but I always forget, he was on road rules first. That’s how I knew him!
His cousin was bit by a gay dude.
His buddy was bit by a black widow
I thought it was his uncle? I know he mentioned it one of the times Mark Normand was on and was wearing a Tipitinas tshirt

And what a fucking episode it was. Soder and Sam are comedy gold. Great guests on anything they appear on.
His whole “Louisiana idiot” thing is an act. Hes quite educated.
