I didn't even know that Jo Koy had a new comedy special out until I randomly stumbled upon it on Netflix. And I do find Jo Koy to be a funny comedian, so of course I opted to sit down and watch this 2022 comedy special.
And I was expecting a good show, because Jo Koy usually delivers when he steps up to the microphone.
Well, I will say that this new show sort of fell short of being all that entertaining and funny for me. The jokes he brought to the stage for this special just wasn't really bringing laughs to me. Sure there were a couple of good jokes throughout the 74 minutes that "Jo Koy: Live from the Los Angeles Forum" ran for, but the show as a whole just didn't really turn out all that funny.
Jo Koy still does have his usual great on-stage presence, without a doubt, and he does look and feel natural on the stage. Just a shame that the jokes were mostly a swing and a miss for entertaining me.
This 2022 comedy special is not among the best of his material, if you ask me. And this is not a show that I will be returning to watch a second time. It sort of felt like the air was seeping out of the Jo Koy balloon, so to speak.
My rating of "Jo Koy: Live from the Los Angeles Forum" lands on a four out of ten stars.
