Jo Koy at Ryman Auditorium

Just Being Koy Tour

Filipino-American stand-up sensation Jo Koy is sending shockwaves across the globe with the riotously laughter-filled events of his ongoing run on the road. After a homecoming show in Manila, Philippines, the 54-year-old star will bring his onstage hijinks back to North America beginning this August, targeting over three dozen cities for the rest of 2025. These pit stops include some much-awaited performances on his recently extended “Just Being Koy” Tour. In Nashville, he welcomes us to a fun time at the “Mother Church” — the Ryman Auditorium — two back-to-back nights with a Friday red carpet on the 12th of September!

“I never take for granted that I get to live out my dream on the stage every week," the artist stated in an official press release. He adds, "... This new tour is something special that I can’t wait to share with everyone.”

He celebrates Southeast Asian identity at the forefront of American comedy. Jo Koy, a Top 10 grossing stand-up performer according to Billboard and Pollstar, delivers hilarious, relatable, and joyously entertaining material every night, hitting some of the nation’s foremost venues and arenas. Join him on summer’s last stretch as he shines the spotlight on Filipino culture with zany, laugh-out-loud zingers that travel a mile a minute. A master of impersonation and storytelling, Jo Koy pulls inspiration from his colorful family (especially his very Filipino mom) to leave you howling in tears, sides split from the unmatched comedy that broke live show records in Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Manila’s Mall of Asia Arena, and more!

Jo Koy is a veritable comedic juggernaut. His thriving list of accomplishments spans a career dating back to the early aughts, with recent capstones including a hosting stint at the 81st Golden Globe Awards. The comedy album from his 2017 special, Live from Seattle, was a No. 1 hit on Billboard, a culmination of his tenured acclaim on Netflix and Comedy Central.

“One of the most celebrated venues in modern music” will become a sanctuary for Jo Koy’s world-class comedy this Friday! The Ryman Auditorium blends a storied Nashville aesthetic with state-of-the-art production, acoustics, lighting, and atmosphere. Even before showtime, the marvel of its stage will steal your breath away. Hurry! Book reservations now!
