Some say he’s the best-kept secret in stand-up comedy: Joey Coco Diaz. His energy and his storytelling abilities are second to none. Joey most recently appeared on Netflix as mobster Buddha Bonpensiero in the Sopranos prequel film, The ManySaints of Newark. He’s also made memorable appearances in Taxi, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Longest Yard, Spider-Man 2, Everybody Hates Chris, Grudge Match and My Name is Earl. Joey’s stand-up shines in storytelling series such as Netflix’s The Degenerates (2018) and Comedy Centra’s This is Not Happening (2019). Joey’s first full hour special, Sociably Unacceptable (2016), can be found on Amazon Prime and Peacock. Perhaps most notably, Joey’s voice found a captive audience in his podcast “Uncle Joey’s Joint”, where he tells stories of his life and his criminal past, as well as how he made it to where he is today. He is also a regular guest on the massively popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”. Diaz’s brutally honest but wickedly funny stories brought him to the New York Times best seller list in his 2023 book, “Tremendous: The Life of a Comedy Savage”. Joey’s a father and husband, but that hasn’t slowed him down- he continues to perform his electric stand-up in theatres across the country. His live performances are unpredictable, hilarious and dangerous all at once. If you get a chance to see him, you’ll realize it’s not what you say but how you say it that makes Joey a true comedian.
