CLEVELAND — Have you lived in Northeast Ohio forever, or maybe you're new to the area? Whatever your story, the region has tons to offer when it comes to experiences and adventures.
However, at times it can be hard to find and narrow down the best ways to spend your time. That's where I come in.
Normally, I keep you up to date on the latest pop culture stories everyday in Pop Break on What's New at 5 p.m. But now, with this new segment "3 Things Poppin' in Northeast Ohio," I'll be sharing with you my picks for trendy things to do on the weekends.
So without further delay, here's what I think you should check out this weekend, Oct. 22-Oct. 24
Jo Koy: Just Kidding World Tour
Saturday, 7 p.m., 3615 Euclid Ave.
Comedian Jo Koy is bringing the funny to Northeast Ohio this weekend.
The "Just Kidding World Tour" will make a stop at the Masonic Cleveland Auditorium on Saturday.
With more than two decades of comedy experience, Koy has made appearances on shows such as BET's "ComicView," "Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza!", and VH1's "I Love the..." decade tributes.
"With his hilarious but relatable tales of life's more perplexing moments, the challenges of parenthood, and his own experiences growing up in America with a Filipino mom, Jo Koy strikes a chord with audiences no matter where he goes," a synopsis for his comedy show reads.
