Jo Koy: Live from the Los Angeles Forum

I didn't even know that Jo Koy had a new comedy special out until I randomly stumbled upon it on Netflix. And I do find Jo Koy to be a funny comedian, so of course I opted to sit down and watch this 2022 comedy special.

And I was expecting a good show, because Jo Koy usually delivers when he steps up to the microphone.

Well, I will say that this new show sort of fell short of being all that entertaining and funny for me. The jokes he brought to the stage for this special just wasn't really bringing laughs to me. Sure there were a couple of good jokes throughout the 74 minutes that "Jo Koy: Live from the Los Angeles Forum" ran for, but the show as a whole just didn't really turn out all that funny.

Jo Koy still does have his usual great on-stage presence, without a doubt, and he does look and feel natural on the stage. Just a shame that the jokes were mostly a swing and a miss for entertaining me.

This 2022 comedy special is not among the best of his material, if you ask me. And this is not a show that I will be returning to watch a second time. It sort of felt like the air was seeping out of the Jo Koy balloon, so to speak.

My rating of "Jo Koy: Live from the Los Angeles Forum" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Disappointing actually. His previous shows were excellent. He takes a very anti-mask perspective which is bordeline pushing a fake news agenda. If masks dont work when why do surgeons and nurses wear masks? His jokes now are becoming more and more low IQ, tailoring to the ignorant more and more. Whereas before his jokes were more funny.

America really had the whole pandemic management in a mess. I have asthma and out doctors all advise us to wear a mask in high infection areas like hospitals or during pandemic .

Jokoy with his tippex teeth now is just not as great as it used to be. Very disappointing.

Jo Koy is a very funny and endearing comic. His stand up stories about his life and family are self-effacing and funny. His jokes about Filipino family life and Asian culture are revealing and funny. Koy has had several specials of different natures since his first big one on Netflix in Seattle. This one is is his second best. He plays very well with the audience, and he manages to engage them in a personal way, even in a forum as big as the one in Los Angeles where this one was filmed. Boy takes some time ion this one to handle post-COVID life, his son-a usual target- and his relationship with Netflix over the years. Koy is a great comedian and this special is worth seeing.

I have followed and loved Jo Koy for a long time. This special was only comedy for about half the show then a full tantrum about not being picked up by Netflix for what seemed like an hour.

Jo, what do you say to comedians like Jorge Lopez, Carlos Mencia, Russel Peters, the Kings of Comedy and a slew of other comedians who aren't white and have had specials on Netflix and network TV shows. Someone saying no to you isn't systemic racism its just life. Honestly the special who asked you not to have the accent was probably worried about getting fined or canceled because of your joke. You have lived in LA to long.

Please you fans are begging you to do comedy, we love comedy to laugh and get away from reality not to hear a Joe Biden 60 minutes interview.

This is the same set he had when I saw him in Tampa! When I tell you it was my favorite comedy show I've ever seen in person or TV! I'm rewatching it and still laughing. (Not as much but I love seeing that he is using the same jokes he practiced and perfected on this Netflix special) I've been waiting to see if he did the same thing and now I can't wait for my dad to see it. He was talking directly to him for half the show!

When I tell you, live!, I was in tears yo! JoKoy is my favorite comedian right now and top % of all times. I can't think of my top 5 right now but I will find a way to put him in it. Because dude is incredible. I hate COVID jokes but he had some good ones! He is just hilarious.

Watch it! If you don't laugh, you're loss. He is funny as hell!
