About this event
ComedyMichael Yo is a two-time Emmy-nominated stand-up comedian, actor, and host whose first love is the stage. Houston-raised with Black and Korean roots, he turns his multicultural background and family life into warm, punchy storytelling that connects across generations.
Michael has released three full stand-up specials Blasian (2018), I Never Thought (2022), and Snack Daddy (2025 on YouTube). As a proud father and husband, he builds a huge chunk of his material around the beautiful chaos of family, turning parenting fails marriage negotiations, and cultural clashes into big, high-energy laughs. His style is clean enough for TV, real enough for late-show crowds, and always grounded in jokes that actually mean something.
Mentored early in his stand-up journey by Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy, Michael developed a voice that’s honest, self-deprecating, and relentlessly fun. He tours nationally, headlining clubs and theaters across the country, and holds a twice-weekly residency at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at THE LINQ in Las Vegas, while also appearing as a featured comedian in Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil. TV audiences were introduced to his stand-up on Season 15 of America’s Got Talent, where he received four yeses from the judges and advanced to the Quarter-Finals.
