Apparently, Joe knew that he was bombing pretty bad and blames it on alcohol and over-the-counter medication. “This was not my typical show,” Joe told Page Six, via his tour manager, in a statement. “As I share my many life lessons in my stand up routine, now I can add this one – don’t mix alcohol with Sudafed.”
“This was not a common occurrence for me – I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to let my fans down,” the statement continued. “I had been taking Sudafed and had a couple of scotches before I went on stage, as I normally do. Unfortunately my body did not react well to the mix.”
Joe repeated variations of the line, “Are you guys ready?” and “We all gotta be f–king ready,” as the audience cheered him on.
Things were so bad that Melissa took it upon herself to stop the show, while Joe says that he feels both sorry and embarrassed to have let down his fans that way.
“I have directly responded to my fans who were there and reached out to me. I started my comedy tour to share my stories and to make people laugh,” the statement concluded. “As I continue my tour, I look forward to providing people with the authentic, fun, and raw Joe Gorga they deserve.”
