Joe Gorga He might be great on reality TV, but he definitely isn’t killing it with his stand-up comedy routine…at least not during a recent prom in New York City.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star was blown away during a comedy show earlier this month at the Governors’ Comedy Club, where Joe took the mic at one point and things went south quickly.
Check it out…Joe tried to tell a joke/story about someone he knows, but it came out a bit incoherent – and most importantly, it’s not funny at all. He ignored some of the light taunts and kept doing it.
Looks like the audience was trying to cut him some time…amusing him repeated “Are you guys ready?” The line, which used to make him nauseous, but never really paid off with an actual physical word.

We were told that the crowd eventually turned on him when he started cursing at them, which you can also hear in the video. One of his co-workers tried to get him off the stage, but Joe didn’t go – that is… even his wife, Melissa, came and gave him the hook.
She had a message for the audience on their way out, and they all seemed forgiving in the end.
atmosphere manager Mike Martucci He told TMZ… “Joe was sick that day. He had a cold. He took Sudafed and then ate a pair of scotch. I hit him when he got on stage. We came back the next night and he made a joke about it.”
