Joe Gorga’s comedy this weekend included multiple surprise attacks on his estranged sister Teresa Giudice and her husband Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas.
While Teresa, Luis, Jennifer Aydin and her husband Bill Aydin enjoyed their European vacation in Turkey, their castmates made fun of them on the stage at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Joe, 50, raised eyebrows from the start when he made a candid revelation that his sex life with wife Melissa Gorga isn’t all that spicy after 20 years of marriage, before taking aim at Teresa and Luis.
When he joked about a dream he had about death, he recalled the priest saying, “I’m going to call your only family, Teresa Giudice.”
This caused the crowd to erupt into boos, and Joe paused to wait for the uproar to die down. He continued his joke: “Teresa Giudice will deliver the eulogy.”

He then imitated her by walking to the front of the memorial service, standing on a stool on the stage and saying, “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the best housewife ever?”
He continued: “And she says, ‘That bitch killed my brother. I should have known better when she brought me chip cookies instead of pignoli cookies,'” referring to Melissa.
A few jokes later, Joe criticized Louie’s earlier comment about wearing his late father’s pajamas. Joe told the audience, ‘I walked into the other room and they were like, ‘You need to talk to Louie.’ I was like, ‘Louie? Oh, shit.’ So I sat down and had this conversation with Louie, and he looked at me and said… ‘I wear your father’s pajamas!’
Joe’s friends Frank Catania, Joe Benigno and John Fuda surprised the star on stage by coming out from behind him wearing casual T-shirts and pajama pants. Margaret’s husband Joe said, “Joey, we wanted to make you feel a little better, so we came out here in your dad’s pajamas.”
Joe, overwhelmed by the support, gushed to the audience: “Do my friends see how much you care about me?”
Joe and Teresa have been fighting for years – Joe and Melissa cut off communication with Teresa after the explosive season 13 finale, which aired in 2023.
After Teresa and her husband Luis accused Melissa of cheating on Joe, Melissa flatly denied the allegations. The Gorgas ended up skipping Teresa and Luis’ August 2022 wedding.
Dolores Catania’s ex Frank Catania kicked off ‘A Night of Comedy Starring Joe Gorga’ by defending his ex over Louie’s comments about Margaret Joseph’s son.

The latest episode of RHONJ, billed as the non-traditional reunion, featured two separate rooms of cast members watching the finale and voicing their opinions.
When the women witness Louie say that he hopes Margaret’s son “suffers” (a comment he later apologized for), Dolores tells Teresa that it was wrong of her to say that while watching the episode at Rails Steakhouse.
According to an eyewitness who spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, Frank told the crowd: “I always try hard not to get a team like that or a team like that, but it’s getting harder and harder. You see this all the time – you see Dolores trying to play Switzerland. But you saw the final, didn’t you?
“She spoke her mind when it came to Teresa and someone’s kids. But let’s talk about this season for a second.”
The father of two went on to joke about Jennifer Fessler and how surprised he was that she didn’t “fuck” John Fuda since he was acting as Tony Soprano this season (Fesser admitted to sleeping with late Sopranos star James Gandolfini in the past).
Viewers watched as Fuda and Giudice had multiple arguments this season over Rachel Fuda’s husband’s past and allegations that Louie contacted his ex for information.
Joe’s friends Frank Catania, Joe Benigno and John Fuda surprised the star on stage by coming out behind him to support him.
A few jokes later, Joe criticized Louie’s earlier comment about wearing his late father’s pajamas.
The comedy show concluded with a Q&A featuring special guests Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral and Nate Cabral.
The comedy show concluded with a Q&A with special guests Melissa Gorga, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, Nate Cabral and Brittany Mattessich, who joined Gorga, Catania, Benigno and Fuda on stage.
Host Michael Mortocci walked around the room answering questions from the audience. At one point, he asked, “Audience, what did you think of the finale? Who’s a Jennifer (Aydin) fan here? Who’s a Teresa fan here?” RHONJ fans booed both Jen and Teresa.
She continued: “Who’s a Melissa Gorga fan here? Who’s a Rachel Fuda fan here?” before prompting the crowd to chant: “Let’s fuck Louie up! Fuck Louie up, fuck Louie up!”
Rachel, who is pregnant with her third child, seemed disappointed by what was happening and quickly shouted into the microphone: “This is inappropriate, this is inappropriate! This is not what this is about.”
However, Melissa was asked to show the pose she gave Teresa during the finale. In the episode, she poked fun at the OG pose with her hand on her hip and her head tilted to the side.
Melissa also criticized Jennifer Aydin for having a fight with Danielle Cabral. “It’s a first-class idiocy,” she said.
Danielle spoke about her struggle, telling the audience: “Let me tell you something: it’s even better to see it again with all your friends. Imagine having a camera when you go out. I mean this shit should happen when you’re 20, not when you’re 38, but imagine seeing stuff like that again.”
Gorga recently celebrated her 50th birthday with Melissa and their children.
As the RHONJ stars continue to keep up appearances, they are patiently waiting for news about what will happen in Season 15.
DailyMail.com previously reported that the show is “on ice” and “likely won’t resume filming until 2025.”
“Everyone is waiting to see what’s going to happen,” a source said. “Casting for the new season won’t be decided anytime soon. Bravo isn’t rushing to cast. It won’t even start to take shape until next year.”
After producer Andy Cohen claimed the show could be “rebooted,” a source revealed that Bravo is “actively looking for new housewives.”
“They are always looking for new talent to get better ratings,” the source insisted.
