Joe Rogan's previous stand-up comedy specials

Joe Rogan has been involved in stand-up comedy for a considerable amount of time and has given seven specials over the last 23 years. 'Joe Rogan: Live from the Belly of the Beast' was his first stand-up comedy special that was released in 2001. It was followed by 'Joe Rogan: Live' in 2007.

Since then, Rogan has given the fans five more specials - 'Talking Monkeys in Space' (2009), 'Live from Tabernacle' (2012), 'Rocky Mountain High' (2014), 'Joe Rogan: Triggered' (2016), 'Joe Rogan: Strange Times' (2018).

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, has by far been his most successful venture. He has often interacted with several stand-up comedians. The podcast is one of the most popular long-format shows on the internet.

In 2021, Rogan signed a contract with Spotify for a reported sum of $100 million. In 2024, it was reported that the contract had been renewed for worth up to $250 million.
