And finally, we have his most recent Netflix special, which actually takes place in the Philippines.
This is more like a Filipino variety show than a comedy special.
It’s a good special to be sure—I especially like the bit where he talks about dancing like Michael Jackson—but I definitely wouldn’t start with this one if you’ve never seen any of his comedy before.
This is more of a celebration of Jo Koy’s Filipino heritage than it is a straight up special, since we get other Filipino comedians like Andrew Lopez and Joey Guila, as well as a breakdancing segment, and another segment where they cook and eat Chicken Adobo, which is really quite wonderful if you ever get a chance to try it (I’d also like to add that Filipino spaghetti is magnificent, as well as Dinuguan and the desert, Halo-Halo, which I’m only mentioning here since I have no idea when I’ll ever get another opportunity to talk about my love for Filipino food on this website).
