Honestly, I’m just really glad to be talking about Jo Koy since my wife and I have been following his career for years. Stream Jo Koy: In His Elements On Netflix This is more like a Filipino variety show than a comedy special. It’s a good special to be sure-I especially like the bit where he talks about dancing like Michael Jackson-but I definitely wouldn’t start with this one if you’ve never seen any of his comedy before. If you don't already know Jo from his stand-up or regular roundtable appearances on Chelsea Lately, it's time that you do. This is more of a celebration of Jo Koy’s Filipino heritage than it is a straight up special, since we get other Filipino comedians like Andrew Lopez and Joey Guila, as well as a breakdancing segment, and another segment where they cook and eat Chicken Adobo, which is really quite wonderful if you ever get a chance to try it (I’d also like to add that Filipino spaghetti is magnificent, as well as Dinuguan and the desert, Halo-Halo, which I’m only mentioning here since I have no idea when I’ll ever get another opportunity to talk about my love for Filipino food on this website). Infectiously funny and painfully honest, Jo hits on such topics as the joys and struggles of fatherhood, growing up with strong and opinionated Filipino women, sleep apnea, and role playing. The comic covers such topics as the joys and struggles of fatherhood, growing up with strong, opinionated Filipino women, sleep apnea and role playing. Stream Jo Koy: Live From Seattle on NetflixĪnd finally, we have his most recent Netflix special, which actually takes place in the Philippines. 60 min TVMA Standup, Series, Entertainment, Special, Comedy Special. Overall, it’s a banger, and, up to this point, the truest representation of his personal storytelling that makes him such a unique figure in the world of comedy today. Also, since he’s divorced, he jokes about paying child support, and how women need to be more aggressive about it to get the money they deserve. It’s the kind of jokes I make on my own kids, and they in turn make on me, so it’s super relatable if you’re a parent.
He has this great bit where he talks about his son having bad breath, and he’ll make him talk to the wall since it’s so awful.
I also love this special since he continues to riff on his son, who has gotten much older by this point. He starts it off with a bit on how women will laugh so hard sometimes that they pee themselves, and also goes into how his mom used to try to treat everything with Vics VapoRub. Jo Koy: Live From Seattle is more like the Jo Koy I used to see at his shows, since he’s much raunchier and has whole bits where he just jokes with the audience.
