Jo Koy Performs First Stand-Up Set Since Bombing at the Golden Globes, Mocks ‘Soft’ Celeb Crowd: ‘Can We F**king Laugh at Ourselves?’


Jo Koy joked about bombing as host of the Golden Globes ceremony during his first live stand-up set since the awards show: "holy shit, right?"

Twenty-five minutes after the 8pm start time for his “Joy Koy World Tour,” the 3,100-seat Stifel Theatre announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. The artist will be arriving shortly.” At 9pm, the Tacoma, WA native, Koy, 52, came onstage and was met with thunderous applause of support and a standing ovation. After vaguely addressing his hosting the Golden Globes––while never naming the awards ceremony outright––the comic talked about his long journey to make it to the night’s standup show.
