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

Tickets go on sale Monday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. You can purchase on Von’s website, Ticketmaster 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 gained fame as a cast member of MTV’s “Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour” in 2000 when he was only 19. He also attended Louisiana State University. Von, now 44, also appeared on four seasons of the network’s popular reality competition series “The Challenge,” in which he became champion on “The Gauntlet” and “Battle of the Sexes 2.”

A source of comic relief on the reality TV, Von pursued a standup career that landed him on Season Four of “Last Comic Standing,” for which he won the online competition. He would also appear on the Comedy Central show “Reality Bites Back,” along with Amy Schumer, Bert Kreischer and Tiffany Haddish.

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

Von became a comedy podcast fixture, 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” gained popularity. His YouTube channel has more than 3 million subscribers.

Known for his absurdist, stream-of-consciousness, off-the-cuff brand of humor, Von talks about his Southern upbringing, unique family background, sobriety and more, telling stories and even giving life and dating advice to listeners. Vox said Von has “skillfully branded himself as a relatable, down-to-earth type, a Southern boy originally from what he’s described as the rural, poor side of Covington, Louisiana.”

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

College football fans will remember Von’s appearance as the celebrity guest picker on ESPN’s “College GameDay” ahead of the Alabama-Georgia SEC Championship Game in December 2023. He sat at the middle of the table when analyst Pat McAfee tricked 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 a frenzy.
