Comedian Theo Von will perform in Vancouver, B.C. at the Great Outdoors Festival Comedy Festival on the heels of his interview with Donald Trump.

Funnyman Theo Von will headline a music festival in Vancouver following his eyebrow-raising interview with former President Donald Trump. 

Von will perform on the second night of the Great Outdoors Festival Comedy Festival in Stanley Park's Malkin Bowl on Saturday, Sept. 14 with his "Return of the Rat" special. 

The three-day festival will see Tom Segura take the stage Friday, Sept. 13 with Mad TV alumni Bobby Lee opening.

The American comedian hosted Trump on his This Past Weekend podcast, where the two discussed everything from famous boxing matches to musician Kid Rock and everything in between. 

Locals have been sharing clips of the interview on social media, commenting on some of the more provocative stories, including Von's description of his former cocaine use. 

Von said he'd heard that Trump had never drank alcohol nor smoked, which the former president confirmed, adding that his brother "had a problem with alcohol." He noted that he'd "never had a glass of alcohol." 

Trump recalled his brother, Fred, taught him alcohol was "tougher to get off of than drugs." Von responded that he'd been in recovery for drugs and alcohol and shared some of his wild experiences.
