Comedian Jo Koy’s mother has long been front-and-center in his work.
The 53-year-old stand-up frequently weaves stories of her into his act, slipping into her voice and accent as he describes the challenges of growing up in a single-family Filipino American home. In one of his most-memorable yarns, Koy goes into detail about his 4-foot-10 mom’s willingness to direct her sharp tongue at anyone who dared yell at her kids., Koy said audiences can expect to hear plenty from his mom as his Just Being Koy tour stops Saturday, Sept. 7, at Frost Bank Center .
“C’mon, we all do it,” Koy said. “And when you’re a teenager, that’s time the time when it’s OK. It’s way worse when you’re talking about some 45-year-old perv doing it.” The Just Being Koy tour will bring the stand-up to San Antonio for the first time since his badly received turn hosting the 81st Golden Globes Awards in January. Critics and social media snipers blasted Koy’s performance as a flop even as fellow comedians such as Steve Martin, Whoopi Goldberg and Kevin Hart sprung to his defense.
