Jo Koy’s ‘World Tour’
Stand-up comedian Jo Koy did not have a great start to 2024, bombing hard when he hosted the Golden Globe Awards in January. That might be one of the things Koy talks about when he brings his “World Tour” to Delta Center, 301 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City, Saturday, starting at 8 p.m. It’s his last stop before heading to Europe for a series of dates. Tickets are available at DeltaCenter.com.
