I never heard about this stand-up comedian before stumbling upon the show by sheer luck on Netflix. I decided to give it a chance without knowing what I was getting myself into.And it turned out that Jo Koy is truly a hilarious guy. He really nailed the Filipina stereotypes right on the head, and it was done in a way that had me laughing out loudly all of the time. He delivers good and solid jokes with a great punchline, and his timing is good.The "Jo Koy: Live from Seattle" stand-up comedy show is crammed with lots of laughs, good jokes and puns. And I will say that it is definitely worth taking the time to watch "Jo Koy: Live from Seattle".After having seen this stand-up comedy show, then Jo Koy has certainly cemented himself as a talented stand-up comedian for me, and I am definitely looking forward to catching more of his shows.

It's like the chubby girl who has been told by her parents that the peach dress she's wearing looks great - and then when she wears it outside, still stubbornly believes that it looks great because her mum and dad are right and the rest of the world must be blind or something!
