Default Joe Rogan: 15th June - Belfast

The last show Rogan did in Manchester was great, lots of UFC fans came down as did many fighters.


PRESS INFORMATION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 30th May 2007:

Shiny Happy Jihad –
Joe Rogan to appear in Belfast

“I’m one of those crazy people who believes that all human beings share one consciousness. So if you‘re mean and evil to someone, you’re being evil to yourself. But I also believe in a lot of dumb **** like Bigfoot and UFO’s, so it’s tough to take me seriously. I just find it a little odd that the same government that denies the existence of UFO’s insists on sticking to the “single bullet theory.” Joe Rogan.

You may know Joe Rogan best as either the presenter of Fear Factor or the commentator of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. You might not be aware that he is also one of the hottest properties in American comedy. Following a sold out show in Manchester in April, for one night only he will be bringing his unique brand of comedy to Northern Ireland. His form of stand-up, delivered with characteristic energy and passion, is hysterically funny. The raw honesty and intensity of his performances place him among a rare breed of stand-ups like Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks and Doug Stanhope, who weren't afraid to share their deepest, darkest thoughts with a roomful of strangers.

Recently he was elevated to super hero status among the comedy community for on stage revealing Carlos Mencia was a joke-thief. Within a matter of hours the video of Rogan confronting Mencia was one of the most watched videos on Youtube and the repercussions have led Rogan to be dropped by his agent, banned from the Comedy Store and further confirmed his status as one of the few comedians brave enough to expose the truth no matter what the consequences.

In spite of ever increasing schedule of work on TV and Hollywood, his first love has remained performing live, and make no mistake about it, you will not see the host of Fear Factor when you come to the club. What you will see is a rabblerousing dynamo who freely speaks his mind, a refreshing change from the polished and scripted laugh-crafters who have made stand-up comedy the somewhat tired art that it is today. Rogan exudes a mad joy for life in all its insanity, depravity, and delicious dirt; if Henry Miller had done stand-up, it would have come out like Joe Rogan's act.

Joe's first U.K. DVD will be released later this summer on the Best Medicine label.

“Joe Rogan has earned a reputation as a stand-up whose material can best be described as acerbic, outspoken, vulgar, coarse, offensive, aggressive, volatile, dangerous, bitter, confrontational, cynical, sick, vile, blunt, disgusting and funny.” Austin Chronicle

"he has a delivery like a chemistry experiment, always bubbling away, sometimes under control, sometimes violently, with the exhilarating chance of a dangerous explosion ever-present. He releases this energy in sharp, controlled bursts of angry characterisation, the build-up of emotion and argument packing power to the punchline." Chortle.co.uk

I just listened to his album, it was funny until he started to offend my faith.

Not surprising. There'd be no material for most comedians if they couldn't steal jokes. No one in the business wants to go down that road.

I saw him in a bar the night before UFC 70 and he was great, really enjoyed the show. Just didn't realise how short he was in person, lol

What's his height? I wish I knew, because that would be a good yardstick to measure fighters against. I don't believe a lot of the height stats.
Hughes is 5'-9? Karo is 5'-10? Abaddi and Diego 5-11? Lots more I think are stretching the truth.

Thanks Drexal. Isn't the net amazing?

Now if only the UFC would stop using height as marketing instead of fact.

No problem.

He actually looked shorter than that in person, but that could be because he seemed pretty wide.
