Jo Koy Sets Sixth Netflix Comedy Special ‘Blue In The Face’

EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Jo Koy has announced his sixth Netflix special, Blue in the Face, which will premiere globally on September 15.

Filmed before a sold-out crowd at Stockton Arena, Koy’s new hour sees him relive a wild dental disaster, recount getting fired from McDonald’s, and celebrate his veteran stepdad. Check out a clip above.

With Blue in the Face, Koy fulfills a two-special Netflix deal inked in 2023. His first special under the pact, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn, was the seventh most watched of 2024 with 6.9M viewing hours.

Koy’s taping location for Blue in the Face held sentimental value, given Stockton, CA’s deep roots in Filipino American history. Shannon Hartman directed and exec produced the hour alongside Koy, Michelle Caputo and Joe Meloche. Art & Industry is the production company.

Consistently registering in recent years as one of the top 10 grossing stand-up comedians in the world, Koy’s other Netflix specials include Live from the Los Angeles Forum, Comin’ in Hot and Live from Seattle. Earlier this year joining Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias to headline the first sold-out comedy show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the comic is currently on his Koy Meets World Tour. He voices one of the roles in Forgotten Island, a new animated feature from DreamWorks/Universal releasing September 25, and is repped by Arsonhouse Entertainment, CAA, and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum.
