ULTIMATE COMEDY! In honour of the UFC's Toronto debut, Just For Laughs is bringing a fierce night of laughs when one of comedy's toughest stand-ups, Joe Rogan, takes on Massey Hall on Friday, April 29 at 8:00 pm. As a stand-up comedian for over 20 years Joe Rogan has honed an inquisitive and intense comedic style. He exudes a mad joy for life in all its insanity and revels in the art of stand-up comedy to explore the world with raw honesty. This has made him a national headliner, a favourite performer at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and a guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live." In 2000, Rogan released his debut comedy album, "I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday," on Warner Bros. Records. In April of 2007 he released a follow-up CD, "Shiny Happy Jihad" on Comedy Central Records. Rogan's debut DVD "Joe Rogan Live" aired on Showtime in the spring of 2007. His second comedy special "Talking Monkeys in Space" premiered on Spike TV in June 2009 and Comedy Central in March 2010. Since 2002, Rogan has provided color commentary for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) on Pay Per View and Spike Television and also hosts the syndicated show, "UFC Wired." Rogan's passion for MMA began with martial arts practice at the age of 13. Within two years, the Boston native earned a black belt and soon became the Massachusetts full contact Tae Kwon Do champion four consecutive years. By the age of 19, Rogan won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship and as lightweight champion went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship. Joe will host the UFC 129 St-Pierre vs. Shields on Saturday, April 30 at the Rogers Centre. |
