À propos de cet audio
A stunning, hilarious memoir displaying Koy’s “wide-ranging comedic talent and abundant wells of perseverance” (Kirkus Reviews, starred). Mixed Plate illuminates the burning drive and unique humor that make Jo Koy one of today’s most successful comedians.
Well guys, here it is - my story. A funny, sad, at times pathetic but also kick-ass tale of how a half-Filipino, half-white kid whose mom thought (and still thinks) his career goal was to become a clown became a success. Not an overnight success, because that would have made for a really short listen, but an All-American success who could give my immigrant mom the kind of life she hoped for when she came to this country, and my son the kind of life I wished I’d had as a kid. With all the details of what it felt like to get the doors closed in my face, to grind it out on the road with my arsenal of dick jokes, and how my career finally took off once I embraced the craziness of my family, which I always thought was uniquely Filipino but turns out, is as universal as it gets.
In this book, I’ll take you behind the mic, behind the curtain - okay, way behind it. From growing up with a mom who made me dance like Michael Jackson at the Knights of Columbus, to some real dark stuff, the stuff we don’t talk about often enough as immigrants. Mental health, poverty, drinking. And show you the path to my American Dream. Which was paved with a lot of failure, department store raffle tickets to win free color televisions, bad jokes, old VHS tapes, a motorcycle my mom probably still hates, the only college final I aced (wasn’t math), and getting my first laugh on stage.
In this book, I get serious about my funny. And I want to make you laugh a little while I do it. I’m like Hawaii’s favorite lunch - the mixed plate. Little bit of this, a little bit of that. My book Mixed Plate is, too.

Amazing storytelling
Great listen! Very funny stories, and amazing delivery - but it also has some very sad/intense parts. Even the acknowledgements at the end just put a huge smile on your face.

Fantastic
I've followed Jo Koy's work for some time but finally getting to hear how it all came to be was incredible. Thank you for sharing your struggles and for being so honest in how you can overcome struggles regardless of their size. I strongly recommend this book.

A great read by a phenomenal comic.
Jo Koy tells his story and keeps you smiling and bursting out with laughter. Listening to Jo impersonate his mother is truly hilarious. I highly recommend this to all comedy fans.

Great View of Immigrant Life
I've been following Jo Koy for nearly a decade now, and I know this is a comedian's autobiography, but it's a really great window into what the life of a Filipino immigrant in the US was like in the 80's and 90's. Definitely inspired by the stories of Jo and his family, especially his mom. Also, I almost spit out my coffee at the call out to Bob Saget... definitely did not age well. But anyway, I'm so happy for your success, kabayan.

LOVED THIS BOOK!
I love this book so much that I didn’t want it to end. Reading a physical book would not be the same as listening to Jo’s impersonations and the raw challenges of slowly climbing to the top. I’ve gone back and re-watched his comedy shows on Netflix and the book really gave a new perspective and respect for his hard work to get there.
