Joe Gorga’s comedy set over the weekend featured multiple surprise jabs against his estranged sister Teresa Giudice and her husband Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas.
As Teresa, Luis, Jennifer Aydin and her husband Bill Aydin were enjoying their European vacation in Turkey, their castmates were mocking them on stage at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Joe , 50, was out to shock from the outset as he made a candid revelation that his sex life with wife Melissa Gorga isn’t as spicy 20 years into their marriage, before taking aim at Teresa and Luis.
When he joked about a dream he had had about dying, he recalled the priest saying, ‘I’m going to call his only family, Teresa Giudice.’
This prompted the crowd to erupt in a lot of ‘boos’ and Joe to pause as he waited for the commotion to die down. He continued his joke, ‘Teresa Giudice to give the eulogy.’

He then imitated her walking to the front of the memorial service, stood up on a stool that was set on stage and said, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the best housewife of them all?’
He continued, ‘And she says, ‘That b***h killed my brother. I should’ve known when she brought me sprinkle cookies instead of pignoli cookies,’ referring to Melissa.
A few jokes later, Joe slammed Louie’s past comment about wearing his late father’s pajamas. Joe told the audience, ‘I go into the other room and they’re like, ‘You have to talk to Louie.’ I’m like, ‘Louie? Oh s**t.’ So I sit down and I had this talk with Louie, and he looks at me and he goes…’I wear your father’s pajamas!’
Joe’s pals, Frank Catania, Joe Benigno, and John Fuda, then surprised the star on stage by walking out from behind him wearing casual T-shirts and pajama pants. Joe, Margaret’s husband, said, ‘Joey, we wanted you to feel a little better so we came out here wearing your dad’s pjs.’
Joe, admiring the support, gushed to the audience, ‘See my friends how much they care about me?’
Joe and Teresa have been feuding 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 firmly denied the allegations. The Gorgas then ended up skipping Teresa and Luis’ August 2022 wedding.
Frank Catania, Dolores Catania’s ex, opened ‘An Evening of Comedy Starring Joe Gorga’ coming to his ex’s defense about Louie’s comments about Margaret Joseph’s son.

The last episode of RHONJ, deemed the non-traditional reunion, included two separate rooms of cast members watching the finale back and voicing their opinions.
When the ladies watched Louie saying he hopes Margaret’s son ‘suffers’ – a comment he has since apologized for – Dolores tells Teresa how it was wrong of him to say that while watching the episode at Rails Steakhouse.
Frank told the crowd, according to an eyewitness who spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, ‘I always try hard to not get team this, team that, but it just becomes more and more difficult. You guys see this all the time – you see Dolores tries to play Switzerland. B
ut you saw the finale though, didn’t you?
‘She spoke her mind when it came to Teresa and talking about somebody’s children. But let’s talk about this season for a second.’
The father-of-two went on to joke about Jennifer Fessler and how he was surprised she didn’t ‘f**k’ John Fuda since he was acting like Tony Soprano this season (Fesser confessed to hooking up with the 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 accusations of Louie contacting his ex for information.

The comedy show ended with a Q&A portion with special guests including Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral and Nate Cabral
The comedy show ended with a Q&A portion with special guests Melissa Gorga, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, Nate Cabral and Brittany Mattessich, who joined Gorga, Catania, Benigno and Fuda on stage.
The host Michael Mortocci walked around to get questions from the crowd. At one point, he asked, ‘Audience, what did you guys think of the finale? Who’s a Jennifer [Aydin] fan here? Who’s a Teresa fan here?’ The RHONJ fans booed for both Jen and Teresa.
He continued, ‘Who’s a Melissa Gorga fan here? Who’s a Rachel Fuda fan here?’ before prompting the crowd to chant, ‘Let’s get a f**k Louie. F**k Louie, f**k Louie!’
Rachel, who is pregnant with her third child, seemed disappointed in what was going on and quickly screamed in the mic, ‘This is inappropriate, this is inappropriate! This is not what this is about.’
However, Melissa was asked to show off the pose she gave Teresa during the finale. In the episode, she mocked the OG’s pose with her hand on her hip and her head tilted to the side.
Melissa also took a swipe at Jennifer Aydin for getting into a fight with Danielle Cabral. ‘That is a first-class jerk off,’ she said.
Danielle weighed in on her fight and told the audience, ‘Let me tell you something – it’s even better watching it back with all your friends. Imagine having a camera when you’re out. I mean this shit should. happen when you’re in your 20s, not when you’re 38, but imagine watching stuff like that back.’
Gorga recently rang in his 50th birthday with Melissa and their children
As the RHONJ stars continue to keep up appearances, they are patiently waiting to hear back about what’s going to happen for season 15.
DailyMail.com previously reported that the show is ‘on ice’ and ‘likely won’t resume filming until 2025.’
‘Everybody is waiting to find out what’s going to happen,’ a source spilled. ‘The cast for the new season is not going to be decided anytime soon. Casting is not something Bravo is rushing into. It’s not even going to start to take form until next year.’
After producer Andy Cohen claimed the show can be ‘rebooted,’ a source revealed Bravo is ‘actively seeking new housewives.’
‘They’re always looking for new talent to bring in higher ratings,’ the source insisted.
