Travis Makes Friends

Joe Gatto is a comedian best known from the hit TV shows Impractical Jokers and The Misery Index.

Recently, he toured for two years with his stand-up solo show Joe Gatto’s Night of Comedy, performing in sold-out theaters across the United States, Canada, and Australia. Before that, he toured with the Jokers’ live comedy show, performing to packed crowds worldwide, including at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the O2 Arena in London.

Joe is passionate about supporting anti-bullying organizations and animal rescue initiatives. He advocates for the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” movement through his non-profit, Gatto Pups and Friends, which he founded in 2022. Based on Long Island, NY, this organization focuses mainly on senior and unwanted dogs.

He also hosts a popular comedy podcast called Two Cool Moms on the iHeart Radio Podcast Network, where he and his co-host offer motherly advice to fans who write in with their dilemmas.

Joe is an accomplished author with two titles: his self-published book The Dogfather: My Love of Dogs, Desserts and Growing Up Italian and his children's picture book Where’s Bearry? published by Penguin Random House.

Joe lives his life by a code of pastry and family, cherishing his two adorable children, and cannolis.
