Comedian & Actor

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.

Koy will next be seen on the silver screen in the Universal Picture comedy film, Easter Sunday in theaters August 5th, 2022. The feature film is loosely based on Koy’s life experiences and will be set around a Filipino family gathering to celebrate Easter sunday. In addition to the big screen, Jo’s single-cam comedy Josep landed a pilot order at ABC.

His highly anticipated 4th Netflix stand-up special will be shot March 2022 at the Forum in Los Angeles. The special is a follow up to his 2019 Netflix special, Comin’ In Hot – Koy has 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. Koy is currently on his Funny Is Funny World Tour.
