MUST. WATCH. FOR. HAHA LAUGHTER.  for reals.

Jo Koy (Joseph Glenn Herbert) is a Filipino-American stand-up comic. Koy began standup comedy in 1994 at a comedy club in Las Vegas. Soon Koy moved from open mic night to a regular at Catch a Rising Star, a signature show at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. A talent coordinator from Los Angeles spotted Koy and landed him his first television appearance on BET’s Comic View.

Koy has opened for headlining acts of Dave Chappelle, Mike Epps, Carlos Mencia, and Snoop Dogg. American troops in Japan and Korea witnessed Koy’s energetic and physical style of comedy during a recent USO tour.

At his show in Brisbane, Australia on October 19, 2008, Koy revealed that he had been offered a Comedy Hour on Comedy Central and would soon begin filming his new show, “The Jo Koy Show”. 

SWEEEEEET. Can’t wait to see it! (ah crud - i don’t have cable)
