Jo Koy: Live from Seattle (2017)

I never heard about this stand-up comedian before stumbling upon the show by sheer luck on Netflix. I decided to give it a chance without knowing what I was getting myself into.And it turned out that Jo Koy is truly a hilarious guy. He really nailed the Filipina stereotypes right on the head, and it was done in a way that had me laughing out loudly all of the time. He delivers good and solid jokes with a great punchline, and his timing is good.The "Jo Koy: Live from Seattle" stand-up comedy show is crammed with lots of laughs, good jokes and puns. And I will say that it is definitely worth taking the time to watch "Jo Koy: Live from Seattle".After having seen this stand-up comedy show, then Jo Koy has certainly cemented himself as a talented stand-up comedian for me, and I am definitely looking forward to catching more of his shows.

...for anyone lacking the ability to change to something better. So bad that even the laugh track can't save it. Yes, the show is so bad they felt the need to include a laugh track. How he managed to get his own special is beyond me. His manager must have dirt on someone at Netflix. That's the only explanation for something this bad seeing the light of day.

I hate to say this, but this is not as good as the previous one or even as some of his podcasts or appearances. Some bits I've already heard on Conan and elsewhere he appeared, others felt overly long and acted out too much. I'm afraid being married and expecting / having a kid might have reduced his "psychosis" as he admits to trying to being less angry and stuff. It's really difficult to come up with 10 lines of review, so I recommend listening to his podcast for those who haven't until now.

A chicken and flip flops"Women will laugh and pee at the same time!" Jo Koy tells us in his latest special. Koy did not fail to leave the pants of some, a bit moister than when he started in, Jo Koy: Live from Seattle. Returning with his latest special since 2012. Jo Koy: live from Seattle is a perfect encore to his 2012 special "Jo Koy: Lights Out". Sticking to his self-Deprecating moderately wholesome style Koy steers us down a path of his childhood paralleled by comparisons of his own sons. Listening to Koy tell us how his father "only married his mother because he likes Chinese food" is funny, but hearing Koy respond that "mom's Pilipino" was far funnier. I found his creative sense of storytelling coupled with his unique enthusiasm enthralling, to say the least. Koy will not fail to keep you laughing the entire time. "A chicken and flip flops" professes Koy, is what a comedian in the Philippines makes per show. Watching a 1400-person audience cheer Jo on makes me think that he'll be bringing home more than a chicken and flip flops. Koy's family friendly-ish humor is fun for all and I would give it a solid 9 out of 10.
