I text everyone we drive back you know we're back in Austin and I text everyone
over at Joe Rogan's
new club the comedy mothership I was going over there to fucking check that
place out
which I already saw like most of you I saw the videos on the internet I was
like my god this
place looks amazing and I went in there and uh I'm not I'm not even like I'm
not gonna even just
mince words here that's the greatest comedy club I've ever fucking been in and
I've been in some
fucking great ones you know Caroline's these are the best ones I was in before
Joe's Caroline's
hilarities in Cleveland uh comics the one that when it was in the meatpacking
district went out of
business Gotham uh uh the stand those were like like so nice you're like how is
this still a comedy
club because you're used to being like smaller holes in the wall or whatever
you know and I went
to the Rogan one and I don't even know where to begin all I can tell is when
you go in that place
you can tell that every fucking thing on the wall on the floor on the ceiling
sight lines everything in
that place was painstakingly gone over to make sure that it was absolutely
perfect and that's
what I kept telling Joe he goes how do you like the club and I was like dude it
is fucking perfect
it's fucking perfect um
you have to like the colors of the booth the uh the
Mitzi's place I think that's what it's called the bar downstairs
um the main room the smaller room I only did I did two I did set Saturday and
Sunday there
in the smaller room and I love that place in uh
Harlan Williams what do you say there freckles he was there in the main room so
I got to see him
um headline that place and uh
yeah just the green room the food the whole thing was amazing and I knew that
he would have this
option I was like if a comedian is designing the club he's going to have the
option that you can either
deal with the crowd or not deal with the crowd meaning when your set is over if
you want to go out
and talk to the crowd aka you had a good set
or maybe maybe you didn't maybe you pissed a few people off and when you go
behind the curtain
you just want to stay there and you can get to the green room without having to
deal with anybody
it is fucking amazing um but the coolest thing
that combined um two huge worlds of mine stand-up comedy and Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughan I guess played that place when it was it was called the Ritz
back in the day and uh oh there's another thing that was it was a like a punk
club and he had for wallpaper in the green room all like the actual posters of
all of these
punk bands you know circle jerks misfits all of these classic bands I'm not a
big punk band guy
I'm not cool I was listening to disco as you heard when I was making fun of uh
I was making fun of the Canadians um but Stevie Ray Vaughan played there in
like 1983 and Joe somehow
got somebody to find photos of him playing there and for big Stevie Ray Vaughan
fans it was that
time in his career right before he started wearing a cowboy hat on stage and he
had that that sort of that
not Kango style I don't know what you call it like the Brian Johnson style hat
that he had when you know right from when he was Stevie Ray Vaughan in Triple
Threat
and he had a woman in the band before he got with Chris Layton
Tommy Shannon Double Trouble before they added Reese
yeah I'm kind of into into those guys um anyway he had these two amazing
like life-size photos of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan is like one
of those
artists that I find transcends what he does like he's so good at what he does
even though you don't like
you know I tell jokes I don't play guitar he's so fucking good at it it's like
like I want to get
better at what I like how do you become how do I become the Stevie Ray Vaughan
of what I'm doing
which obviously is impossible I mean that guy's that guy's a once-in-a-century
talent
but it makes but it does make you dig deeper and try to get better so to see
those those pictures
and also just to know that you're in a place
that that that guy played in like I really feel that when you perform in a
place like that like
whatever they did the magic of it is somewhere there if you're into that
spiritual shit which I
actually am um so I went down there that night Joe wasn't there so I had to see
him so I made sure
the next night I went down there again to hang out with him um but uh you know
Adam Ray was down
there too one of my favorites and I met a couple of comedians there this guy
William that was hosting
I never got his last name he was funny as hell and then I brought this kid up
that I thought was great
uh named uh Miles Johnson was really funny just really you know and the club
also had open mic night
which is something that went away during my stand-up career it was how an open
mic night was crucial
for new comedians and it was crucial for the comedy clubs to keep you know it
was like the draft
you know you had to keep developing new new uh new comedians to keep the scene
alive
and um I always felt that one of the big mistakes that so many comedy clubs did
was they stopped having
open mic nights and then it just became like like the dust bowl where you just
keep farming on the same
land until it's just you know nothing grows there anymore you know so um that
was another great thing
and it's right on sixth street and it's just you know um I mean now sixth
street's a little loud for me
in my old ears but like it is you feel like that excitement of of youth and
that type of thing
coming down the street so that that's another great energy to have in the club
I can't say like
Joe absolutely fucking picked the perfect venue and crushed it it's it's
unbelievable
