Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry (2009 TV Special) User Reviews (2)

Short, but good...

This 2009 stand up comedy show from Jo Koy titled "Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry" is a good laugh. And if you enjoy the comedy style of his, then you definitely should watch this one.

It was a bit short, running at 44 minutes, but Jo Koy does manage to use those minutes well, delivers a good set and brings a good amount of laughs with him.

I do like his comedy and his particular on-stage presence. He feels very natural and at home on the stage, and there is a good flow to his presentation of the material.

"Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry" is well-worth watching for a laugh, regardless of you being a fan of Jo Koy or not. This is certainly also suitable for a good introduction to this particular stand up comedian, if you are not already familiar with his work.

My rating of this 2009 comedy show settles on a six out of ten stars.

I say: Do make him angry!

"Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry" is a comedy special from 2009, so only two more years and this will have its 10th anniversary. The director is the highly prolific Troy Miller and the script, i.e. the comedy, is written by Jo Koy himself, an American comedian, who was in his 30s when this was recorded. It runs for slightly under 45 minutes and is basically a stand-up comedy show. This has gotten some attention recently again because Koy (who is actually as bad as a fish) released another comedy special not too long ago in 2017. Anyway, as for the contents in here I was not impressed really. The comedy here is not enough in quality and quantity sadly, even if you have to honor Koy for trying his best with body language and delivery. Maybe the material just wasn't good enough overall, but he is also the writer, so you have to blame him too for that. With the title of my review I am referring to that fact actually. Maybe had he been angry, he may have left his comfort zone and actually delivered fresh creative material. I do not recommend this little show. I think it was more his mixed ethnicity and somewhat memorable physical appearance that made and kept him famous, at least back then. Thumbs down from me and as Koy is still really active to this day, I hope he managed to improve in the last eight years.
