Joe Rogan’s new stand-up special is now on Netflix, and it’s really funny

Joe’s back.

Joe Rogan is having what has to be one of the busiest weeks of his life.

His regular MMA podcast was released on Wednesday morning, just a few hours after his normal podcast was.

As well as that, he is doing loads of work for the UFC ahead of what is being billed their biggest fight of all time (McGregor vs Khabib, in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months).

He’ll be working at the official UFC 229 weigh-in, and he’ll also be commentating on all of the fights.

So despite his chilled out nature, you could imagine that he’s probably pretty stressed out at the minute.

Add that to the fact that he has just released a huge Netflix special, and you would assume he’s probably losing his mind.

But luckily, the special is really good.

Rogan covers the topics that all stand-up comedians seem to these days, but in a bit of a unique way.

He discuss serious, topical stuff like sexism and feminism, but manages to put a funny spin on it, without resorting to shock tactics.

The best thing about the special is that seems actually genuine, compared to certain comedians who seem like they’re trying to be offensive to be funny.

Strange Times is available to watch on Netflix now.
