If you’re a fan of “Impractical Jokers,” this one’s for you. Comedian, actor and producer Joe Gatto is bringing his latest comedy tour to our area for not one, but two stops.
Gatto talked to our Alicia Vitarelli about the new material, the new laughs, and what he loves most about our local crowd.
He says he got bit by the comedy bug early.
“I look at my own growth to become this loud, boisterous, crazy comedian,” he says. “If I look back to how I started, I was just this nerdy, geeky kid.”
That kid with a quick wit teamed up with his buddies from high school for what would become the hit TV show “Impractical Jokers.”
Gatto is now hitting the road with a brand new tour called “Let’s Get Into It.” He’s says there’s just something electric about performing live.
“I set the tone,” he says. “We have a lot of fun. The shows are very joyous, and I like making my shows more like events. That’s why I really do the live comedy. I just love making an event where people can come, forget about all the BS in life for a little bit and just get together and laugh.”
