Weak Minded Joke Thieves

This is a really good post from Joe Rogan about joke thievery. I’ve been watching Rogan recently on my Seasons 1 & 2 DVD of NewsRadio and at the tail end of the second series his character is really starting to come into his own.

But the topic here is joke thievery. He talks about why he wanted to be a comedian so much the great parts of doing it and why he despises joke thieves.

He centres on the infamous thievery of one Denis Leary. There’s also been a recent discussion about this on the Chortle messageboards. On Chortle you’ll see some people sticking up for Leary in amongst folk calling him a thief. Here though Rogan has nothing but disdain for Denis Leary and the material he stole from Bill Hicks.

Joe Rogan also has a MySpace site.
