Jo Koy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jo Koy is a Filipino-American stand-up comic. Koy began standup comedy in 1996 at a comedy club in Las Vegas. Soon Koy moved from open mic night to becoming one of the most requested comedians at Catch a Rising Star, a signature show at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. A talent coordinator from Los Angeles spotted Koy and landed him his first television appearance on the nationally syndicated show BET's Comic View. Koy has been on two seasons of Comic View and Showtime at the Apollo. He is currently touring the college circuit as a featured comedian and performs in clubs across the country.
Koy has opened for headlining acts of Dave Chappelle (Chappelle's Show), Mike Epps (Next Friday), and Snoop Dogg. The overseas American Troops in Japan, Korea and Okinawa had the opportunity to witness Koy's energetic and physical style of comedy during the USO Tour.
