Joe Rogan and success are synonymous, but he doesn’t want it all for himself. The UFC color commentator wants to give back to the comedy that made him a household name. Further, his commitment to helping fellow comedians is well known. Therefore, by providing a haven for comedians, when the famed podcaster opened his own comedy club in Texas, his action was lauded by comics, especially Andrew Schulz.

The 56-year-old’s new venture, ‘Comedy Mothership’, has been successful since its opening and has attracted a hefty audience. Austin’s Sixth Street is now home to comedians who thrive in the club with an anti-woke emphasis. “The place is pretty sick,” the UFC commentator declared in one JRE episode. What exactly makes the Comedy Mothership a heaven for standup comics?

The much-talked-about comedy club opened its doors to visitors with tickets starting at $40, which were sold within minutes. In addition, there are two rooms: a larger one for the big shows and a smaller one for a more interactive and close-knit experience. “This is f*king awesome. Both rooms are great,” Schulz declared on his podcast.

Following this, the 39-year-old mentioned that both rooms hold significance for particular reasons. “That little room is great because it allows you to develop connection. You can learn how to like lock in with an audience. You’re not necessarily just kind of speaking at them,” he announced.

Meanwhile, a comic, after mastering the art of crowd handling, would then switch to the bigger room. He would then learn how to perform before thousands and fill space. Regardless of the rooms, a comedian was performing in, he was free from the risk of getting canceled. And the credit for such an idea rested with Rogan, who, as mentioned by Schulz, “is competitive. But at the same time, he wants everybody to win and everybody succeed.”

In the same clip, Schulz attributed Rogan’s ability to help other comedians to his martial arts background. Rogan would train with people, and it helped him and his opponent. Rogan did the same for comedy.

“At the same time, helping each other get better. That makes sense and it’s like you can do that with comedy and that kind of made sense. It was the only thing that made sense why he was this way,” Schulz added. The exchange of ideas and helping each other would end up raising each other.
