Jo Koy at Texas Trust CU Theatre

oseph Glenn Herbert Sr, known professionally as Jo Koy, is an American stand-up comedian known for his number of Comedy Central and Netflix specials. He started his career in the mid-90s as a young comic at a comedy club in Las Vegas. His most significant break came when he was invited to perform on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where he received a standing ovation on the show.

Jo Koy's rise to stardom can be attributed to his relatable style of comedy, which focuses on "laughing at ourselves type of behavior." His old-school approach to comedy works in his favor as he doesn't tend to offend anyone with his acts. Instead of talking about politics or Hollywood gossip, he's more attuned to traditional comedic storytelling. This ability to naturally make people laugh, combined with an accessible social media presence, makes it understandable why Jo Koy has seen his profile grow in recent years.

Today, the comedian has already taken over several forms of media. Aside from his Netflix and TV specials, Jo Koy has an upcoming movie entitled "Easter Sunday." He can also be heard in his well-known podcast "The Koy Pond with Jo Koy" and as a guest on the podcast "The Adam Carolla Show." In addition, he is constantly touring across the US to give his fans the chance to experience his hilarious comedy live. This year, the 50-year-old comedian tours worldwide on his ​"Funny is Funny World Tour" ​with all new material. Catch him this Friday, 21st October, at Texas Trust CU Theatre.
