If juggling the roles of a UFC commentator, a stand-up comedian, and the world’s most famous podcast host wasn’t already impressive enough, Joe Rogan has added another feather to his cap: comedy club owner. The man knows no bounds!
After bidding farewell to the glitz and glamour of California, Rogan set his sights on the Lone Star State, Texas. Seeking the elusive freedom he yearned for, Rogan moved to Austin, Texas in 2021. Earlier this year, Rogan opened his own comedy club called ‘The Comedy Mothership’. The comedy club promises to be a safe haven for comedians, far from the clutches of ‘cancel culture’.
Since its inception, the Comedy Mothership has been riding a wave of success. Recently, Rogan appeared in a podcast interview with ‘Oil and Whiskey’. There, he talked about many topics, but the most interesting discussion was about his comedy club.
Joe Rogan claims Austin to be the hub of comedy!
Firstly, Rogan started out by revealing his missions behind moving to Austin, to start a comedy club, and to bring famous comedians to Austin. According to Rogan, 12 world-class comedians like Tim Dillon, Tom Segura, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Ron White have arrived in Austin because of him. Further, he claimed Austin to be the hub of global comedy because of several comedians moving here.
“I had two missions. Open up a comedy club and then recruit the best comedians in the world to come to Austin. So far I’ve got 12 world-class comedians living here now. Austin Texas is the hub of the comedy world right now, without a doubt. We got Tim Dillon, Tom Segura, Tony Hinchcliffe. I mean we have so… Ron White is here!”

Moreover, Rogan heaped praise for the city of Austin. According to the 55-year-old, the capital of Texas is the best place to live for comedians. “Austin is a f*cking great town! The people are cool as hell, the food’s amazing, and it’s a great live music scene. It’s just a great place to live and for comedians.”
Joe Rogan dismisses the idea of comedians moving to Hollywood!
Moving further, Rogan didn’t stop praising Austin’s charms. He also shared his unconventional views on the allure of Hollywood and television. As per the UFC commentator, many comedians want to settle in Hollywood, as they feel like they might get a chance to come on Television.
However, Rogan thinks this is a bad idea, and venturing into podcasting or standup comedy is a much better option. “We’ve always been attached to Hollywood. That’s the carrot they always dangle in front of you. it’s always like ‘Hey! if you play your cards all right you can wind up on TV’ and I’m like ‘F*ck TV’. I did it man, I’m telling you podcasts and stand-up comedies are way better.”
