Joe grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ and was the only one in his family to move off the block. After doing standup for three years in Philadelphia, he moved to New York City to pursue comedy more seriously. That move really paid off. He has since appeared on many TV shows including MTV’s Spring Break, The Jim Bruer Show, MTV’s Carson Daly Show, NBC’s Late Friday, NY Metro’s New Joke City with Robert Klein, numerous times on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, CNBC’s McEnroe, VH1’s Celebrity Breakups, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Better Half on Bravo. Joe also just taped his very own 1/2 hour special for Comedy Central airing in the winter of 2008. Joe’s completely autobiographical act pokes fun at his neurotic Italian family and how they’ve molded him, his hatred of single-life, his frantic move back East to find real love, and his marriage to a woman who has a Ph.D. in Psychology (his perfect match). Now his main objective is fixing Joe - he has to if he wants this relationship to work.
