Jo Koy: In His Elements

Not the Jo Koy Special we've loved and expect. Sadly disappointing since he mostly emcee'd instead of doing his usual comedy show where it's just Jo Koy. Hopefully, next time he'll go back to the way it was with just him in his raw form.

Jo joy is one of the funniest stand ups in the world right now, I can see what he was trying to do by introducing philipino comics and dancers to try and give them publicity, however it didn't really work. They weren't that good.

I have thoroughly been enjoying the previous stand-up comedy specials from Pinoy comedian Jo Koy, so when I happened to stumble upon this 2020 special on Netflix, of course I immediately sat down to watch it.

Well, first of all, this was something of a disappointment. Why? Well, because most of the show was by showcasing dancers, a DJ, other comedies and showing off Philipine culture and cuisine. I didn't sit down to watch that, so it was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me.

Sure, Jo Koy was on the stage, but not for a very long time, which was disappointment, to say the least. And sure, it was nice to hear about Philippine culture, but then at least it should be done in a documentary, and not in something wrapped up as a comedy special.

"Jo Koy: In His Elements" scores a mere three out of ten stars from me. It wasn't an impressive special, not even by a longshot. And I doubt that I will be returning to watch it ever again, simply because it failed as a comedy special.

But thumbs up to Joseph for managing to being Netflix to make this special in Manila. I am sure that is some accomplishment in itself.

Terrible to be honest. Should of just done a documentary. Maybe next time he will showcase the Philippines abit better. Only funny part was when the comedian asked if there was any nurses in the audience (tumbleweed moment) the audience members were all part of the elite. Jo Koy had the right idea but the execution was poor. He seemed uncomfortable when the B boy told him he sleeps in a Jeepney. Still love you Jo Koy maybe next time bro!!

I was looking forward to watch this one since his first 2 stand ups were really good. Got disappointed when his guests got more airtime than him doing the actual show. If you are hoping for a stand up show like the first 2, then skip this one.
