What does a Hollywood actor do with a free night in Austin?

In part 2, new Austinite Jeremy Piven shares his routine: cigars and mezcal at a little bar off Sixth Street, a set at the Creek and the Cave, and the Mothership, the room Joe Rogan designed with low ceilings made for stand-up. In Austin, he says, you can get an IV and red light therapy or be a degenerate, whatever you want.

JB points out nobody should be surprised he is doing stand-up, and Jeremy walks through his roots: performing as a kid, studying Shakespeare at the National Theatre of Great Britain, and Second City sketch comedy with Chris Farley in the 90s. He also opens up about growing up at the Piven Theatre, watching his father call strangers out of the phone book to fill seats, and why getting on the radio to talk comedy means so much to him. And yes, he ran lines with his mom. Not those kind of lines.
