TEMECULA, CALIF. — (DATE OF RELEASE) — One of today’s most celebrated and electrifying stand-up comedians, Jo Koy, will bring his highly anticipated live performance to the Pechanga Summit Events Center inside Pechanga Resort Casino on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 8 p.m. Due to overwhelming demand, a second show has been added on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 8:00 p.m.
Hailed as one of today’s premier stand-up comedians, Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings performing in a Las Vegas coffeehouse. His uniquely relatable comedy draws inspiration from his colorful family, resonating with audiences of all backgrounds and translating into sold-out arenas around the world. He continues to rank among the top 10 grossing stand-up comedians each year, according to Pollstar and Billboard.
Koy has broken records across the globe, including the most tickets sold by a single artist at the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu — 23,000 tickets across 11 sold-out shows — a feat that led the mayor’s office to proclaim November 24th as “Jo Koy Day.” He remains the only comedian to sell out six consecutive shows at The Warfield in San Francisco.
Koy received the prestigious “Stand-Up Comedian of the Year” award at the 2018 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, and has released four highly rated comedy specials on Comedy Central and Netflix. His most recent Netflix special, Jo Koy: Live From Brooklyn, filmed at the historic Kings Theatre, premiered globally in 2024 and ranked as the #6 most viewed special that year, accumulating over 240 million minutes watched.
A master storyteller known for his high-energy performances, Jo Koy turns everyday family life into unforgettable punchlines, drawing on his Filipino American upbringing, parenting experiences, and cultural quirks. His physicality, spot-on character impressions, and vibrant conversational rhythm keep crowds leaning in and laughing throughout the night. Known for spontaneous crowd work and riffing with fans, he tailors moments to each city he visits, ensuring no two performances land exactly the same.
Koy’s recent projects include starring in the 2022 Universal Pictures comedy Easter Sunday, appearing in Disney’s Haunted Mansion, and voicing characters in Netflix’s animated films Monkey King and Leo.
Fans can expect an evening packed with fresh material, heartfelt storytelling, and the signature comedic energy that has made Jo Koy a household name — promising one of the most memorable nights of laughter of the season.
