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.
This guy was hilarious with many of his stories and experiences. I love how he talks about his past with his mother basically being evil, mean, rude and racist around him. And I love how he talks about his moments with his son his joke about buying toys and games for his son and himself so he can be silly driving a hover board.
This 'special' has been presented by someone who has been told that she's funny so many times that she's fallen for it. It's like the chubby girl who has been told by her parents that the peach dress she's wearing looks great - and then when she wears it outside, still stubbornly believes that it looks great because her mum and dad are right and the rest of the world must be blind or something!
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.
