Joe Rogan admits he's the highest he's even been on stage as he opens new 'anti-cancel' comedy club

Joe Rogan declared himself 'as high as I've ever been onstage' as he opened his own club which he says will focus on 'anti-cancel' comedy.

The podcaster has said he wants to create a space where comedians can be safe to perform their acts without being afraid of getting cancelled.

According to the New York Post some of the acts booked to perform at the 'Comedy Mothership' club include 'cancelled' comedians such as David Lucas, Ron White, Tim Dillon, Tony Hinchcliffe and Roseanne Barr.

Situated in Austin, Texas, Rogan declared himself to be 'as high as I've ever been onstage' at his new club, saying he was 'drunk and on mushrooms' while declaring 'you can't fire me from my own club b***h'.

Apparently he needed to 'connect with this moment'.

Speaking on Theo Von's podcast, Rogan explained that he felt 'compelled' to open a comedy club after not wanting to do it.

He said: "I felt compelled to do it. I never wanted to own a comedy club, and I always felt like you just had to be nice to comedy club owners because you never want to be one of those people.

"But then when I knew I was moving here, and [Austin's Capital City Comedy Club] was already closed. I was like, 'Maybe I should buy a f**king club, and start a club.' And that became my focus."

The Post reports that tickets for the first show at Rogan's comedy club sold out in just a few minutes, though scalpers may have had something to do with that as tickets normally costing $40 were being resold for $500.

The comedy club, which is designed with an alien theme, encourages visitors to research the acts that will be performing so nobody showing up gets something they weren't expecting.

Comedy Mothership also has a rule that people should put their phones into bags before going inside to avoid videos of the acts leaking which could set off a backlash against the comedian.

Meanwhile, Rogan's father recently criticised his son and said 'the money went to his head' after Joe got into some controversy over comments which were accused of being antisemitic.

Something you may not know about the podcaster is that in his studio he's got a wall of mugshots of famous faces, which fans of his show The Joe Rogan Experience might not have seen because the cameras stay trained on Rogan and his guest.

The controversial podcast host also recently stirred up some more trouble after suggesting that major figures in Hollywood were secretly taking steroids, or 'on the sauce' as he put it.
