“It’s a lot on my plate right now, but you know what? I have been hungry for a long time, so let’s eat.”
Koy first headlined the legendary venue with two sold-out shows back in 2019 and found himself so caught up in the moment, he had to bring out his teenage son, Joseph, to take in the experience and roaring audience applause.
Koy, who’s real name is Joseph Glenn Herbert, grew up in Tacoma, Wash. His father, who was in the U.S. Air Force, met his mother while stationed in the Philippines and the family settled in Washington before moving to Nevada where Koy attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He dropped out to pursue a career in stand-up and early on worked in Vegas comedy clubs and coffeehouses.
“The things that are happening right now, those weren’t given,” he said. “We made this happen. There’s struggle to everyone’s success. People seem to forget that. They think, ‘Oh, he’s successful; he must have had a great time getting there.’ Um … no. There were some horrible times, man, and there were a lot of times when I wanted to give up, but I am so glad I didn’t.”
“That is just so nuts,” he said of being able to headline the same venue as one of his comedic heroes. “I was like 15 or 16 at the time and to now be sitting in the venue, next to my son who is now the same age I was at that time, it’s insane. Like what is going on? I love it.”
