The UFC commentator Joe Rogan has put forth a constant effort to broaden his horizons. Even though Rogan is famous among the MMA community as the UFC color commentator, the 55-year-old is tremendously growing as an entertainer. He was able to establish himself as a great comedian in front of the public. The podcaster’s new venture, ‘Comedy Mothership’ is another great initiative that’s running houseful after its grand opening. His comedy club is the result of two and a half years of hard work that Rogan put in to make his long-cherished dream a reality.
