Jo Koy to bring 'Just Being Koy' tour to Manila this June

Jo Koy, the popular Filipino-American comedian, is coming back to the Philippines.

His "Just Being Koy" tour is scheduled for June 21 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, as announced by Live Nation Philippines, who guarantee an unforgettable comedy experience for his audience.

"Get ready, Manila! Jo Koy is set to deliver non-stop laughs in an unforgettable night of comedy," the events organizer wrote.

More details about the show will be announced soon.

Jo Koy first performed in the Philippines in January 2020 for his "Just Kidding" tour in Manila and Cebu, and again in August 2022 during his "Funny Is Funny" world tour.

Jo Koy's comedy, which often draws on his family and cultural experiences, includes humorous observations about Filipino habits, such as repurposing plastic containers and the ubiquitous use of Vicks VapoRub as a cure-all.

He told Variety that these kinds of cultural humor are what bring people together.

"Here we are relating to crazy moms, and that’s what I love about comedy because that’s what brings us together, and that’s what brings cultures together and you find out that we are very similar. We’re very relatable," he said.
