Jo Koy Is Back, Malaysia—And You’re Not Ready for What’s Coming
Comedy lovers, it’s time to mark your calendars and brace yourselves for a night of pure, unfiltered laughter. The one and only Jo Koy is making his highly anticipated return to Kuala Lumpur, and if you think you’ve seen it all—think again. His Just Being Koy tour is hitting Malaysian shores on June 18, 2025, at the Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur, at 8:00 PM, and this is the kind of event you don’t just hear about—you experience it.
The Filipino-American comedy titan has built a global empire on razor-sharp observations, pitch-perfect storytelling, and the kind of jokes that make you laugh because they’re true. Whether he’s impersonating his iconic Filipino mom, calling out our shared cultural quirks, or roasting his own awkward teenage years, Jo Koy’s brand of humor is as relatable as it is riotously funny.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Domination
Before he was selling out arenas, Jo Koy was grinding it out in Las Vegas coffee houses, proving that raw talent and relentless hustle do pay off. Fast forward to today, and the numbers speak for themselves:
14,000 tickets sold at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena in 2022
19,000 fans packing Tacoma Dome for his tour finale
Six sold-out shows at The Forum in Los Angeles—more than any other comedian in history
11 back-to-back sold-out shows in Honolulu, leading to November 24 officially being declared Jo Koy Day
And that’s just scratching the surface. Whether it’s Netflix specials, blockbuster movies, or best-selling books, Jo Koy is a one-man entertainment phenomenon.
More Than Just Stand-Up
Jo Koy’s comedic genius isn’t confined to the stage. In 2022, he made his big-screen debut in Easter Sunday, a heartwarming (and gut-busting) love letter to Filipino culture. Since then, he’s flexed his acting chops in Disney’s Haunted Mansion and lent his voice to Netflix’s Monkey King and Leo. This year, he continues his reign as the voice of Monkey King in The Tiger’s Apprentice on Paramount+.
And let’s not forget his powerhouse run on Netflix, where his four comedy specials—including Live From Seattle, Comin’ In Hot, and Live From The Los Angeles Forum—have turned him into a household name. His latest, Jo Koy: Live From Brooklyn, takes on everything from energy vampires to the art of emoji flirting with the kind of fearless honesty that makes his comedy hit different.
Malaysia, Are You Ready?
Jo Koy’s return to KL isn’t just another comedy show—it’s a milestone moment for the local scene. Rizal Kamal, CEO of LOL Asia, puts it best: “Jo Koy is a global sensation, and his humor resonates with so many cultures, especially in Malaysia. His storytelling, his energy, and his connection with audiences are unparalleled. We’re thrilled to bring him back to Kuala Lumpur and give Malaysians a comedy experience like no other.”
If history has taught us anything, it’s that Jo Koy tickets don’t just sell—they vanish. And with Malaysia’s love for stand-up comedy at an all-time high, this show is bound to be a sell-out.
Tickets are available at lolasia.bigtix.io—but don’t wait around. Jo Koy is coming, and KL is about to get a comedy masterclass like never before.
