Jo koy lights out full standup8/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Jo Koy: Yeah! He did!! That was when everyone was bleaching their hair. He left the dye in too long, when he walked you over there to the coffee shop. Soon after that is when it all fell out, by the way, completely. That's how it all happened, I owe it all to this guy, the hairdresser, I wish I remembered his name, but if it wasn't for him pushing me that day, I don't think it would have happened any sooner than it did. I was crackin' him up and he was loving it, and he was like, "My God, you should be a comedian!" And I don't know why I said it, because normally I was too scared to tell people that I wanted to be a comedian, but for some reason I blurted out, "Yeah! I want to get to LA and become a comedian!" And he said "I've got this friend who owns this coffee shop, come with me and I'll introduce you to him, he has a comedy night every Wednesday, he'll put you on." So here I am walking over to the coffee shop with this apron around my neck and this dye in my hair getting introduced to this guy who owned the place. ![]() See, my hairdresser at the time, when I had hair, I used to have this dyed blond hair. Jo Koy: Yeah, that's where it first started. You originally got into comedy in Las Vegas, am I right? I also got to introduce my grandmother into the act, another character involved in my special. This one was shot in my hometown, Los Angeles, and in this time I talk a lot more about my son, and a lot more stories about my Mom, the two things I really like to talk about. My first one was "Don't Make 'Em Angry" and this one I'm most excited about. Jo Koy: It's my second one! My second hour special. ![]() This Sunday Comedy Central premieres "Jo Koy: Lights Out," you've worked with them before on other occassions, other specials, right?
