Jo Koy began standup comedy in
1996 at a comedy club in Las
Vegas. The bright lights of
Las Vegas and the stage
allowed Koy to see what his
passion truly was... a love
for comedy and the stage. Soon
Koy moved from open mic night
to becoming one of the most
requested comedians at Catch a
Rising Star, a signature show
at the MGM Grand Hotel and
Casino. Fans were impressed by
the high energy and physical
emotion Koy exuded to the
stage. He was soon making
everyone laugh. A talent
coordinator from Los Angeles
spotted Koy and landed him his
first television appearance on
the nationally syndicated show
BET'S Comic View. Koy has
earned the respect of a great
comedian. Viewers have now
laughed with Koy on two
seasons of Comic View and
Showtime at the Apollo. He is
currently touring the college
circuit as a featured comedian
and performs in clubs across
the country.

Koy has opened for headlining
acts of Dave Chappelle
(Chappelle Show), Mike Epps
(Next Friday), and Snoop Doggy
Dogg. The overseas American
Troops in Japan, Korea and
Okinawa had the opportunity to
witness Koy's energetic and
physical style of comedy
during the USO Tour. It was an
experience that the troops and
Koy will never forget. Koy has
enjoyed his years in stand-up
comedy and looks forward to
helping the world laugh.
