Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Mojo Brookzz: I Know You Lying’ On Netflix, The Comedian Puts The Wild In ‘Wild ‘N Out’ For His Debut Special
Mojo Brookzz certainly has built a following large and loyal enough to repeat his catchphrases on tour, but can his debut Netflix comedy special make the same kind of waves in that red leather jacket to earn comparisons to Eddie Murphy, who famously sported an even tighter number in his Delirious HBO debut four decades ago? I know you lying if you think so.
The Gist: Netflix subscribers may recognize Dyon “Mojo” Brooks from his role on Tyler Perry’s Miss Governor, where he played Basil the driver. He also appeared on the most recent season of Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out, toured with Mike Epps, and headlined his own theater tour, all of which helped him land on Variety’s 10 Comics To Watch list for 2025.
A Chicago native, Brooks collaborates with the Chicago Bears, and his videos have attracted a massive following across social media, including 4.2 million Facebook followers, another 3.6M on Instagram, 1.8M on TikTok, and 1.31M on YouTube.
He recorded this set in December 2025 while on tour at Atlanta’s Center Stage Theatre, where he joked about the joys of giving and receiving oral sex, accompanying his niece to a sex shop to buy her “coming-out present,” and why he would never bring a woman to a concert featuring either Usher or Chris Brown.

Memorable Jokes: After expressing gratitude for his life and career, and making fun of how he acted when he attended his first “real Hollywood party” (a birthday bash for Mike Epps, with whom Brooks has toured as an opening act), he shifts gears into very explicitly sexual material.
As he jokes, “Unc wouldn’t know what to do” with a woman who squirts. Oh, did I mention this comedy special includes a chunk of jokes about squirting? It sure does! He even makes you imagine how the story of civil rights hero Rosa Parks might’ve turned out differently if that was even a thing back then.
He’s got complaints about women who force his head to stay down on her, as well as women who put their heads into his backside. Even if he also declares at one point: “On Sundays they call me Goochie Man!” And no, I will not elaborate.
Tonally, he shifts abruptly.
There’s a bit about how well or not he has handled his grandmother’s struggles with dementia. It’s great when she remembers he’s the comedy star out of her 13 grandkids; not so great when he has to pretend he’s whatever she thinks he is that day.
Then he’s back to sex stuff, recalling the time he accompanied his niece to pick out a phallus at the sex shop, and joking about picking one up for himself, just for backup.
And just for kicks, he also has a routine suggesting it’s better to date an “auntie” over the age of 40, especially if you were taking them to his show, describing their after-show plans in comparison to women aged 20-35. Both age groups, however, are not safe around Chris Brown or Usher.
Our Take: When he describes the overtly sexual nature of Chris Brown and Usher onstage in their concerts, you might recall that this season’s premiere of Saturday Night Live included a sketch where men attend a support group for having taken their women to those concerts. But Brooks has a different take from the men in that SNL sketch.
One of his own catchphrases is “we listen and we don’t judge,” and well, that’s going to be tough here, since we’re here to listen and watch and judge. Perhaps not the sexual preferences he shares, but certainly the choices he makes onstage.
And wearing the red leather suit is most certainly a choice. You don’t do that unless you want to evoke comparisons to Eddie Murphy. And Brooks is just going to pale in comparison, no matter how outrageous he tries to be.
Our Call: You can give him credit, though, for the awareness to say, “You gotta appreciate where you are,” and in doing so, appreciate the opportunity his success has given him thus far. I’m just not sure how much what he’s saying in these 47 minutes is going to help him reach the next level. SKIP IT.
