Joe Gorga is a house-flipper extraordinaire who has generously shared his secrets to success with others, but The Real Housewives of New Jersey dad also has a yearning to try something different and unexpected that could become a new professional career of its own.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Joe will make his standup comedy debut at a show called "The Real Italians of Comedy" at West Nyack Levity Live in West Nyack, NY on February 18. Comedians Tammy Pescatelli and and Mike Marino will join him on the bill.

"My passion has always been to make people laugh," Joe admitted in an Instagram post announcing his gig. "Ever since I was a kid, I found so much joy in putting a smile on others."

Joe's wife, Melissa Gorga, offered her support for the gig on her own Instagram page, writing, "My Hubby has been making me laugh since the day I met him! So Do Not miss his 1st comedy show!!!!!"

And his sister, Teresa Giudice, strongly agreed with Melissa, writing on her Instagram, "My brother @joeygorga made me laugh my entire life!  Now, you guys will all get to experience how funny he really is!"

Sounds like this is something that can bring the whole family together!
