Jo Koy: In His Elements

I was expecting a stand up comedy with just him, that's why it's called "jo koy" but he was mostly promoting these other guests the entire 55 minutes. In my opinion, I understand that he was trying to teach us their culture, however, these people already know their own culture because that is where they're from! I did have a few laughs here and there, however I've heard some of these jokes already, I love jo koy, but this was very disappointing.

And a dull Justin Bieber wannabe at the end of the show.

Terrible to be honest. Should of just done a documentary. Maybe next time he will showcase the Philippines abit better. Only funny part was when the comedian asked if there was any nurses in the audience (tumbleweed moment) the audience members were all part of the elite. Jo Koy had the right idea but the execution was poor. He seemed uncomfortable when the B boy told him he sleeps in a Jeepney. Still love you Jo Koy maybe next time bro!!

I was looking forward to watch this one since his first 2 stand ups were really good. Got disappointed when his guests got more airtime than him doing the actual show. If you are hoping for a stand up show like the first 2, then skip this one.

I have thoroughly been enjoying the previous stand-up comedy specials from Pinoy comedian Jo Koy, so when I happened to stumble upon this 2020 special on Netflix, of course I immediately sat down to watch it.

Well, first of all, this was something of a disappointment. Why? Well, because most of the show was by showcasing dancers, a DJ, other comedies and showing off Philipine culture and cuisine. I didn't sit down to watch that, so it was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me.

Sure, Jo Koy was on the stage, but not for a very long time, which was disappointment, to say the least. And sure, it was nice to hear about Philippine culture, but then at least it should be done in a documentary, and not in something wrapped up as a comedy special.

"Jo Koy: In His Elements" scores a mere three out of ten stars from me. It wasn't an impressive special, not even by a longshot. And I doubt that I will be returning to watch it ever again, simply because it failed as a comedy special.

But thumbs up to Joseph for managing to being Netflix to make this special in Manila. I am sure that is some accomplishment in itself.
