As one of today's premiere stand-up comedians, Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings performing in a Las Vegas coffee house. Jo's uniquely relatable comedy pulls inspiration from his colorful family that has reached all kinds of people and has translated into sold-out arenas around the world.
In 2022, Koy kicked off his Funny Is Funny World Tour by selling-out the Climate Pledge Arena (over 14,000 tickets) in his hometown of Seattle and ended the tour with a sold-out show at Tacoma Dome (over 19,000 tickets). Today, he continues breaking sales records at some of the most prestigious venues around the world including Mall of Asia Arena (Manila, PH), The Forum (Los Angeles), Coca-Cola Arena (Dubai), ICC Theatre (Sydney, AU), Radio City Music Hall (New York City), and FTX Arena (Miami) to name a few. This past November, Koy sold-out Madison Square Garden for the first time marking another milestone for the comedian. In 2017, Koy broke a record for the most tickets sold by a single artist at 23,000 tickets and 11 sold-out shows at The Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu. In response, the mayor's office in Honolulu proclaimed November 24th as "Jo Koy Day."
Koy recently starred in the Universal Picture film Easter Sunday, set around a family gathering to celebrate Easter Sunday, the comedy is based on Jo Koy's life experiences and stand-up comedy. Easter Sunday is currently available on Blu-ray, DVD and on-demand.
His highly anticipated 4th Netflix stand-up special, Live From The Los Angeles Forum premiered globally on September 2022. The special is a follow up to his 2019 Netflix special, Comin' In Hot. Koy has already had four highly rated and successful stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix. In June 2020, the comedian released his first variety special, Jo Koy: In His Elements on Netflix in which Koy brings the laughs and beats to Manila, spotlighting local culture in a one-of-a-kind show featuring Filipino-American comedians, DJs and B-boys.
In 2021, Koy released his first autobiography, Mixed Plate: Chronicles of an All-American Combo with Harper Collins Publishers to raved reviews. In this funny and moving memoir, Koy uncovers the stories behind his stand-up: the conflict, the drama and the laughter as he struggles to find his place in the entertainment industry, his home and around the world.
In 2019, Jo Koy reached #1 on the Billboard Charts for his stand-up comedy album, Live From Seattle, and in 2018, he was given the prestigious "Stand-Up Comedian Of The Year" award at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.

Jo Koy was awesome!! I've never laughed so hard in my life!!! Will definitely go again when he's back
Great interaction with the crowd not all canned jokes. Amazing show
Funny at times. Seemed as if he was more concerned about how to occupy time on stage.
Jo Koy was absolutely hilarious!! I highly recommend this show!
Very funny, great venue (Aladdin Theater), great show!!
Jo Koy is the master of in-the-moment comedy. Yeah, he's got stock things to talk about but he shines when he is interacting with the audience. Looking forward to seeing him again soon.
Such an amazing show! I've seen his stand-up on Comedy Central, and saw him on the panel at a taping of Chelsey Lately in L.A., but his live stand-up was awesome! Very intimate, just like hanging out with a hilarious friend at a big party. Jo really connected with his audience, and the smaller venue made it much more interactive. Loved, loved, loved him! Also, my first time at The Aladdin, and it was a bit snug, but tons of atmosphere, so it was worth it. My only complaint was that when we were all leaving, the staff did not direct traffic out of the theatre very well.
Jo Koy is awesome. This was our second time seeing him.
This was my second time seeing Jo Koy live this year. I have never seen a funnier comedian live. He makes me laugh with his impressions of his Mom and son, he is great at improvising and involving the audience, and his stories of relationships with women are hysterical! I love the way he cracks himself up - the audience was roaring! I would recommend anyone see Jo Koy live - it is totally worth the price of admission!
Jo Koy is so great. Funny, sweet....love him! Definitely would go again...
Always enjoyed his stand up, but this was the first time we've been able to see him live. We had a blast and will definatly be back when he is. The opening comedian was great as well
The show was incredible! Non-stop laughter, music and just fun! The opening comic Adam Hammer was funny too. Jo's comedic timing was flawless with smooth transitions between topics. Great show and would definitely see Jo's show again. Fresno loved him!
Really enjoyed myself. Me and my husband laughed our asses off.
absolutely amazing....hilarious!!...Jo even demonstrates his singing talent...wow!!
The show was amazing...i laughed the entire time! He is such a down to earth kinda person and that's why I think that so many people can relate to his humor. Can't wait for the next time he's in town again!
Jo Koy is a great comedian! I loved that his bits did not feel scripted. He incorporated a lot about Fresno. He also engaged with his audience many times. I would love to see him again and again! I hope he comes back to Fresno!
This guy is hilarious! I love that he ended the show with some amazing MJ interpretations ...
I dont think the chelsey lately show gives him the credit he is due! he was worth every penny of ticket and some.. i would definitely see again and would even pay more to see him..... he's a superstar!
I Love Jo Koy! He is absolutely hilarious! I was laughing from the beginning to the end of the show. I love how he represents our Filipino culture. I'm most definitely going to watch him live again! LOVE U JO KOY!!!
All I have to say is......HILARIOUS!!!!! Will go out of town to see him again!!
