A talent coordinator from Los Angeles spotted Koy and landed him his first television appearance on BET's Comic View. Koy has been on two seasons of Comic View and Showtime at the Apollo. He is currently touring the college circuit as a featured comedian and performs in clubs across the country.

Koy has opened for headlining acts of Dave Chappelle, Mike Epps, Carlos Mencia, and Snoop Dogg. American troops in Japan and Korea witnessed Koy's energetic and physical style of comedy during a recent USO tour.
