Joe Gorga has an exciting gig lined up as he and his wife Melissa Gorga await news of their fate on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
Per a press release shared with EntertainmentNow, the RHONJ “Househusband” will embark on a new leg of his comedy tour—in Canada—this spring. Not only that, but Melissa Gorga will host the show, and their pal and fellow co-star Frank Catania will also make an appearance.
Described as “an evening of laughter, stories, and entertainment,” the release teased that Gorga would share “hilarious personal anecdotes, behind-the-scenes moments, and his signature comedic take on life, love, and family.”
The comedy show will be held at Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto on April 12, 2025, and will feature a pre-show meet and greet with the popular Bravo TV personalities.
Joe Gorga Shared the News With Fans
In a post to Instagram in February 2025, Joe Gorga shared a promo for the event with the caption, “Toronto!! We are coming 🇨🇦 April 12th! @melissagorga is hosting & I got my boy @frank.catania.sr with me! Don’t miss it! Tickets are moving fast!” He also shared a link for tickets in his Instagram bio.
Speaking with The Daily Mail, Gorga said he is “excited to be putting more time” into his comedy career this year. “Taking the leap and bringing the show to Canada is a huge step, and it means so much to have my best friend, Melissa, right there with me,” the New Jersey-based real estate developer added.
Gorga also teased that he will share stories about his 21-year marriage to Melissa.
Gorga previously performed comedy shows at Caroline’s on Broadway and City Winery in New York City. In 2024, he performed an “Evening of Comedy” at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City that also featured several RHONJ cast members.
In a video from the Harrah’s gig obtained by The Daily Mail.com, Gorga was seen incorporating RHONJ stories into his set. He even referenced the famous sprinkle cookies incident when his sister Teresa Giudice became upset that Melissa brought store-bought sprinkle cookies to her house for Christmas instead of pignolis.

After Bravo host Andy Cohen said on his Sirius XM show, “Andy Cohen Live” that RHONJ needs a rebrand amid the extreme toxicity among the cast, Joe Gorga spoke out on the “On Display With Melissa Gorga” podcast to confirm that both him and his wife are fine with whatever the network decides
“We’ve been amazing employees,” he said in July. “We kept it clean, we kept it classy, we kept it right. We’re sitting here right now, and our heads are high. And we got nothing to worry about because we did everything right. And respected the network, we respected our fans, we respected everybody.”
“We dedicated over a decade of our lives into this show, and it would be a little sad,” he admitted of the possibility of not being asked back to Bravo. But he added, “It is what it is, and you know, whatever happens, happens. We’ll just have to move on and when one door closes, another one opens, and we’ll just figure it out,”
Melissa Gorga agreed that the two would be “at peace” no matter what happens with “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
