Jo Koy World Tour

Co-Sponsored by the UConn Asian American Cultural Center
Coming off the highly anticipated Universal Picture film Easter Sunday and his recent Netflix special, Jo Koy, one of today’s premiere stand-up comics, brings his World Tour to Jorgensen. With four highly rated stand-up specials, including his most recent 2022 release Live From The Los Angeles Forum, Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings in a Las Vegas coffee house to now selling out the world’s most prestigious venues. That’s a lot of laughs. The hugely relatable comic pulls inspiration from his Filipino family, especially his son. -

Kodo
Thu, Mar 9, 7:30 pm
Co-Sponsored by the UConn Asian American Cultural Center
An international phenomenon for four decades, Kodo explores the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese taiko drum, forging new directions for a vibrant living art form. With Tsuzumi, the company traces its origins back to its beginnings and reflects on its legacy. The word “Kodo” holds a double meaning: “heartbeat,” the primal source of all rhythm, and “children of the drum.” Since the group’s debut at Berliner Festspiele in 1981, Kodo has given over 6,500 performances in 53 countries on five continents. This figure includes 4,000 performances under the “One Earth” banner, a theme that embodies Kodo’s desire to transcend language and cultural boundaries, all while reminding their audiences of the common bonds we all share as human beings.
