Filipino-American stand-up comic Joseph Glenn Herbert, known professionally as Jo Koy, revealed Tuesday he is set to work with legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg in a movie based on his real life experiences. Two production companies—Spielberg’s own Amblin Partners and Dan Lin’s Rideback—have teamed up to roll out the comedy movie. Jo Koy further used the opportunity spotlight other Filipino-American performers by featuring break dancer Ronnie, Grammy-winning producer !llmind, singer/songwriter Inigo Pascual, and fellow comedians Andrew Lopez, Joey Guila and Andrew Orolfo. He then broke the attendance record at Club Regent Event Centre in Winnipeg with four sold-out shows. In 2019, Koy sold-out five shows at the San Diego Civic Theatre, now on record most as the consecutive sold-out shows for a comedian.
