Jo Koy: In His Elements

I was expecting a stand up comedy with just him, that's why it's called "jo koy" but he was mostly promoting these other guests the entire 55 minutes. In my opinion, I understand that he was trying to teach us their culture, however, these people already know their own culture because that is where they're from! I did have a few laughs here and there, however I've heard some of these jokes already, I love jo koy, but this was very disappointing.

And a dull Justin Bieber wannabe at the end of the show.

Disappointing and average . Get rid of the guest comedians who were not very funny . All of the guest artists were average. The singer at the end , what a waste of time . The whole thing could have been better and longer if Jo koy had a lot more stage time and If bringing or showing artists then have only local talent not people flown in from USA . More visuals with out and about in the Philippines with his family or on his own . The USA guests and boy band singer at the end made most of it a waste of time . I was looking forward to seeing more of the Philippines and more of his comedy both of which would have made a better show .

As much as I love what he's doing, trying to showcase his culture and all, the show, although there were a few laughs here and there, overall was pretty dull. Could have been much much better.

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.
