Skip Netflix on June 16 – it’s time to catch Jo Koy live and in the flesh at The Star Theatre. That’s right, the Filipino-American stand-up star is bringing his culturally chaotic comedy to Singapore as part of his Just Being Koy tour – and it’s going to be an all-out laugh riot.
From humble beginnings performing in a Las Vegas coffee shop to smashing box office records in Manila, Dubai, Sydney, New York and beyond, there’s no stopping Jo Koy. His secret sauce? Roasting his mum (lovingly – and definitely not the “yo mama” kind), and serving up brutally accurate takes on parenting and family life that somehow manage to be both hyper-specific and wildly universal. It’s no surprise that his hilariously honest reflections on growing up Filipino, navigating cultural quirks, and surviving family drama have struck a nerve – and the funny bone – of audiences around the world.
With four Netflix specials including the latest Live From Brooklyn, a Hollywood film based on his life experiences, a best-selling memoir, and a Billboard-topping comedy album, Koy isn’t just hilarious – he’s a phenomenon. And you won’t want to miss this comedy show that also doubles as a spicy, shouty, side-splitting family reunion. Tickets start from $108. Get yours here.
