Joe Gorga Cancels Las Vegas Comedy Show Amid Brad Garrett Drama

Joe Gorga has been forced to cancel his comedy show in Las Vegas after Brad Garrett revealed publicly it was a "scam."

“ALERT!! This is NOT AN ACTUAL Show at my club and people are being scammed to buy tickets via a fake link on Facebook. So @catchnewjersey not sure how you put this show together but it wasn’t from us. I am not on Facebook.”

He claimed “an imposter” was “collecting ticket funds for a non-existent show.”

The show was supposed to take place on November 5th, and Joe was set to appear alongside Jaclyn Marfuggi and Frank Catania.


Joe claimed he had no idea the show was fake until he saw Garrett’s post.

“It was coming from a fake Brad Garrett. Joe’s attorney was scammed. They even had signed contracts in place.”

Joe's rep added he “is very disappointed as he was looking forward to performing” assuring “everyone who purchased tickets will be receiving their money back.”

“Joe will not be doing a show in Las Vegas."

In a second post, Garrett clarified that Joe was “unaware of the scam.”


“It was not their fault. It was booked through a comedy club in NJ who didn’t go through the proper channels and talked to some jerk-off impostor on Facebook. Note to all: when someone asks for $ upfront to work at your club it’s most likely a scam. Stay safe everyone.”

A link to purchase tickets has since been removed from Joe's Instagram bio.

He was however, set to appear in Sin City at Bravocon, which took place November 3rd to November 5th.

“Guys, this is regarding the comedy show. We just got the news. … It’s a complete scam.”

Frank Catania joined him for the video, which was captioned “What’s happening to this world!!”

Melissa Gorga, Joe's wife, was not on camera, but her voice could be heard in the background.


“I can’t believe this. So, there was no one from Brad Garret’s comedy club? This was a complete scam.”

Joe concluded with, “It is what it is. Nobody got hurt. Don’t worry, I’ll see you at BravoCon. … When we see you, we’ll make you laugh anyway.”
