What Club Does Joe Rogan Own?

Joe Rogan owns a comedy club in Austin, Texas called the Comedy Mothership.

The Comedy Mothership aims to provide a "safe space" for comedians to perform without fear of backlash or cancellation. Rogan has been an outspoken critic of so-called "cancel culture" and wants his club to embrace controversial comedy.

The venue has a capacity of 658 people and spans two floors. It features multiple bars, bathrooms, a green room, and outdoor terrace. Rogan is best known for hosting the massively popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. He reportedly makes around $30 million per year from the show.

While controversial, Rogan has an extremely loyal following. The Comedy Mothership will likely succeed in attracting big crowds eager to see boundary-pushing stand up shows.
