Jo Koy and Gabriel Iglesias made history by selling out SoFi Stadium with over 70,000 fans, marking a milestone for comedy as a mainstream entertainment form. The event, which drew massive crowds, signaled a shift in how comedy is perceived and experienced, moving beyond traditional venues like comedy clubs and theaters. For decades, stadiums have been reserved for musical acts and sports events, but tonight’s performance by the two comedians challenged that norm. The 70,000-capacity venue far exceeded their previous record of sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. The stage setup was three times larger than standard comedy setups, with massive screens and high production values that elevated the experience to a level comparable to rock concerts. This marked a clear step toward comedy’s integration into mainstream entertainment. The achievement capped years of hard work for both comedians, who have long been recognized as top-tier touring acts. Iglesias ranked No. 4 on 2025’s Billboard Boxscore for comedy tours, earning $35.3 million from 100 shows, while Koy placed No. 8 with $20.9 million from 83 shows. Their ability to fill arenas and theaters consistently demonstrated their status as industry leaders, but tonight’s event proved they had transcended the confines of comedy clubs entirely. The one-night-only format added to the exclusivity of the show. Both performers emphasized that this kind of event would not happen again, with Iglesias stating, “I still feel young enough. But I don’t know I can do something like this again.” The idea for SoFi Stadium originated during a surprise onstage moment at the Kia Forum in February 2024, where Iglesias proposed performing “across the street” at SoFi. The crowd’s immediate reaction confirmed the potential of the concept. Planning the event took a year of coordination.#jo_koy #sofi_stadium #gabriel_iglesias #kia_forum #inglewood
Gabriel Iglesias and Jo Koy on Why They Teamed Up for a SoFi Stadium Stand-Up Mega-Show Gabriel Iglesias found himself in a moment of self-doubt, questioning whether his comedy career had reached its peak. “I was kind of thinking to myself, ‘What do we do now?’” he recalls, referring to his frustration over the challenges of maintaining relevance in the industry. While his career had achieved massive success, the pressure of sustaining that momentum left him feeling uncertain about the future. The turning point came in February 2024, when Iglesias surprised the crowd at the Kia Forum in Inglewood by presenting comedian Jo Koy with a plaque honoring his record sixth sold-out show at the venue. During the event, Iglesias suggested they collaborate on a show at SoFi Stadium, a proposal that initially met resistance from Koy. “He was like, ‘I don’t know, Gabe,’” Iglesias recalls. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, come on. How many freaking sold-out Forums are you going to keep doing?’” SoFi Stadium’s 70,000-seat capacity, equivalent to four sold-out Forums, posed a significant challenge. Koy was skeptical about the feasibility of filling such a massive venue, but Iglesias argued that their combined fan bases and proven sales records made the venture viable. After a year of planning, the collaboration materialized as a March 21 event, with pre-sales beginning on April 23, 2025. Within days, 70% of tickets sold, securing a sellout. The show, described by Koy as a “full-circle moment,” featured a massive stage with extensive screens, designed to ensure every audience member felt immersed in the performance. “We want everyone to see it, we want everyone to feel it,” Koy says. Both comedians share deep roots in Southern California.#jo_koy #sofi_stadium #gabriel_iglesias #kia_forum #long_beach
Jo Koy brings intimate 'Just Being Koy' tour to Cedar Rapids Jo Koy will perform at the Paramount Theatre in Cedar Rapids on Saturday, March 14, offering fans an up-close experience of his comedic style. The veteran comedian, known for his relatable humor and family-centric storytelling, will deliver a mix of personal anecdotes and sharp observations during the show. Koy, 54, has been touring with his “Just Being Koy” tour, which includes both large venues like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and smaller, intimate spaces such as the Paramount, which has a capacity of under 2,000. Koy expressed his enthusiasm for performing in smaller venues, emphasizing the connection he feels with the audience. “Playing theaters is so much better. I’m so much closer to the crowd,” he said while on a call from New York. “It’ll be fun over the next couple of days to figure out what I’ll say when I come to town.” His ability to adapt his material for different settings highlights his versatility as a performer. The comedian’s set is constantly evolving, driven by his desire to share fresh content. “I like coming up with new stuff,” Koy said. “I have a Netflix special coming up, and I have no choice but to have a whole new hour of material. I can’t repeat anything that’s on the special.” This commitment to innovation ensures his performances remain engaging for audiences. Family plays a central role in Koy’s comedy, particularly his son Joseph, who is 22 and handles merchandise at every show. Koy often jokes about his relationship with his son, blending humor with heartfelt moments. “It’s fun to joke about family,” he said. “My son is so much older now and so am I, and now he works for me. My son is hilarious. He recently told me that I’m just a few months away from a free meal.#jo_koy #paramount_theatre #cedar_rapids #sofi_stadium #joseph_koy
