I believe I first met Joey in 2008 but it wasn't until May of 2018 that we performed together on the Collision of Comedy Tour along with Jonnie W.After a few dates in Wisconsin I knew that Joey was going to be a big time performer. His energy and commitment to a bit is something to see. Joey was living in Minneapolis at that time. It was a few years later when he took an opportunity in Branson MO. We talk about that transition and what it took for Joey I.L.O. to go from the new kid in town to recently being nominated for Comedian of the Year in Branson.
