Joe Rogan stand-up comedy special to stream live on Netflix Aug. 3

Netflix announced that comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan is set to headline a live stand-up special on Netflix, airing Aug. 3 at 10 p.m. ET.

Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats,  Rogan’s first comedy special in six years, will be filmed live at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas, directed by Anthony Giordano, a veteran director of televised UFC fights who has also helmed four of Rogan’s previous specials: 2018’s “Strange Times,” 2016’s “Triggered,” 2012’s “Live From the Tabernacle” and 2009’s “Talking Monkeys in Space.”

Rogan has performed as a stand-up comedian for more than 30 years, but is best known for “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the No. 1 podcast on Spotify which he’s hosted since 2009. The show has boasted guests including Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders and Dwayne Johnson, as well as controversial figures such as Alex Jones, Jordan Peterson and Candace Owens. Rogan inked a new multi-year deal with Spotify in February that is said to be worth up to $250 million, and the show — which had been exclusively available on Spotify for three years — is now available on other audio platforms.
