Joe Rogan opens comedy club in Austin, performs while drunk and high on opening night

After more than two years in development, UFC commentator and comedian Joe Rogan's comedy club, Comedy Mothership, finally opened its doors to the public in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday.

It's safe to say that the club started its story on a high note considering the tickets for the opening week have already sold out. Currently, tickets are being resold online at $500.

As per a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the 55-year-old described his new club as an effort to terraform Austin into a major live comedy hub by providing an ideal venue for comics.

Rogan is particularly enjoying some of the freedom and liberties his new enterprise provides. During the opening night, the UFC commentator made sure to express his delight at being able to perform on stage while drunk and high, without the repercussions of getting fired:

"I’m drunk and on mushrooms in my new club! This is as high as I’ve ever been onstage. I need to connect with this moment … You can’t fire me from my own club, b***h!"

Rogan's club sports an "Alien Meets Art Deco" theme, as described by The Hollywood Reporter. Putting their 'non-cancel culture agenda' forward, the club also displays a "Hecklers will be Alienated" sign atop one of the lobby doors.

The roster for the opening night featured many of Joe Rogan familiars like David Lucas, Ron White, Tim Dillion, Roseanne Barr, and Tony Hinchcliffe.

Joe Rogan explains why he stands his ground against "ridiculous" cancel culture

Joe Rogan is a well-documented critic of 'cancel culture'. The comedian believes that there is an absurd amount of indignation currently against comedians.

During an interview with political commentator Ben Shapiro, the 55-year-old stated his problem with what he perceives to be 'cancel culture', opining that it majorly comprises of people who are "just trying to find targets":

"I think they are just trying to find targets... Whenever anybody screws up in the media, you just get these people that just want a target. It's a game... the game is call someone out, take someone out, and shame them, get the Twitter mob and the Facebook mob... get them after them."

Interestingly, Rogan believes that someone of his financial standing must take a stand against such an obstructive ethos:

"Well, I feel like if you have f**k you money and you don't say f**k you, then who is going to... Like I'm a good person. I'm a nice guy, I pay my taxes... I try to be nice to people... but if I see something rediculous and if make fun of it and people get mad at me for that, that's on you."
