The Comedy Store in Los Angeles has long been rumored to be haunted. Countless comedians have told stories of eerie encounters, flickering lights, and strange whispers in the night. But few stories are as terrifying or as baffling as the one told by Joe Rogan about the late comedian Carl LaBove.

It’s a tale of supernatural aggression, a dark and silent stage, and an unseen force that quite literally dragged LaBove into the unknown. But does the story really add up? It’s Joe Rogan telling us that story though. There has to be some truth to it. Right? Let’s find out.
Joe Rogan’s ghost story about Carl LaBove
Joe Roganinvited the stand-up comedian popularly known for his Dr. Phil Live show, Adam Ray to his podcast,The Joe Rogan Experience. They were talking about scary stories when Joe Rogan told him about an incident that happened with Carl Labove.
LaBove, a legendary comedian and a regular at The Comedy Store, found himself in an unfortunate situation one night. After a fight with his wife, he was kicked out of his house. With nowhere else to go, he decided to crash at the one place he knew best, The Comedy Store. He made his way into the main room, a large space that becomes pitch black when the lights go out.

With nothing but the darkness and silence around him, LaBove lay down on the stage, hoping to get some sleep. That’s when things took a terrifying turn. Out of the quiet, he heard a door shut. Thinking it was someone else in the building, he called out, “Hey, it’s me, Carl. Who is that?” No answer. Just the sound of chairs moving. The kind of scraping and shuffling you’d expect from an audience taking their seats, but the room was completely empty.
Then, without warning, something grabbed his ankle. Before he could react, an unseen force yanked him off the stage, slamming him onto the floor below. He barely had time to process what had happened when the chairs started moving again. Then BAM! The door slammed shut. And then, nothing. Silence. Darkness. No footsteps, no lingering presence, nothing to explain what had just happened.

The story is chilling and all but… where is the evidence? One major plothole in this ghostly tale is the complete lack of security footage. The Comedy Store, like most entertainment venues, likely has cameras installed to monitor the premises.
If an unseen force had truly thrown LaBove off the stage, why wasn’t there any video evidence? Given the sheer eeriness of the event, you’d think someone would have reviewed the footage to verify what really happened.
