Joe Rogan Calls Out Carlos Mencia, Gets Banned From Comedy Store
February 15, 2007 at 8:45 am in Entertainment
Anyone who knows anyone who is a comedian knows that one of the worst things a comedian can do is steal another comedians material. The only thing worse than that is to steal a lot of comedians material and make a bunch of money off of it. Which is apparently what Carlos Mencia did, or rather does. I’ve been hearing people mention this for a while, and Joe Rogan finally confronted him about it publicly. On stage at the Comedy Store. The video is after the jump so you can see it your self, but the really messed up this is now Joe is banned from the Comedy Store. He writes:
“It’s also indicative of this massive problem we have in the comedy community in general. Here you have a club that basically sells other people’s art. They put the chairs there, sell the drinks and turn the mic on, and the artists do the rest. You have a situation where a comic that’s been known for stealing other people material gets called out onstage, exposed, and then the video is put on the internet for all to see, and their reaction is to ban the guy that exposed him and made the video. To the thief, they sit back quietly and profit from his crime.”
Video is after the jump, and if after watching it you feel like telling the Comedy Store that this is totally bullshit, they can be reached at 323 656 6225 or via e-mail at info@comedystore.com
