Jo Koy: Blue in the Face will premiere globally on Netflix on September 19, 2026.

Filmed before a sold-out crowd at Stockton Arena, the location holds added significance for Jo Koy. Once known as “Little Manila,” Stockton has deep roots in Filipino American history, making it especially meaningful for Koy to honor the city and its lasting impact on the Filipino community.
