Lol, I used to be on his forum back in the day, place was chaos with enough interesting stuff sprinkled in to keep me going back, was a sad day when I tried to log in and he'd nuked it without warning. I landed up there from UFC and had no idea he was a comedian as well, imagine my disappointment when I watched one of his specials, just terrible.

So 20 odd years back I found myself on the Joe Rogan forum. I had no idea who he was, but there were heated debates and some funny posters (Bill Burr was one and Doug Stanhope another of note), so I frequented the message boards and abused the pro-Iraq war stance nearly all of them took.
Generally it was full of utter fuckin edgelords and absolute whoppers. And so of course I ended up meeting a load of them in London for a forum meet. The idea was that they were going to see a show by this “comedian” Joe Rogan. I was there for the pub garden drinks.
So I arrived at a pub in Camden on a BH weekend where I was basically talked at by about 30 British and American wannabe stand ups. All of them talking as if they were onstage and nothing could make these unfunny bastards stop.
This coloured my opinion of comedians until by accident I saw a utterly puerile live set by Rob Delaney (he’s adorable) and I realised they weren’t all like these dickheads
