Hey Maroons! Here’s to another publication. This one is a special one since an exciting member of Impractical Jokers will be in Roanoke soon! On February 1st, Joe Gatto will be at the Berglund Center! He will be hosting a night called “Joe Gatto: LET’S GET INTO IT Featuring Mark Jigarjian.”
If you do not know who Joe Gatto of Impractical Jokers are, you’re in for a treat. Impractical Jokers is an improv group that premiered on December 15th, 2011, on TruTV. He was part of this group for almost 10 years until December 31st, 2021, came along and he announced he was stepping away (on good terms, don’t worry) to focus on his family. Most of his time on this show involved improv sketches while interacting with actual people. Some of Joe Gatto’s most popular Impractical Jokers episodes include “The Permanent Punishment”, “Whose Phone Is Ringing?”, and “B-I-N-G-NO”.
The ticket prices range from about $40-$60 not including a VIP Meet and Greet (post show) (which is an additional $100). This event is Saturday, February 1st and is for ages 16+ (as suggested on his website Joegattoofficial.com). Parking for this event is $10, and the show starts at 7PM. The seats closer to the stage are about $60 and the farthest away are about $40. As of writing this article, there are still plenty of enough seats in the Orchestra, but you outta get your tickets now before they sell out! Tickets are available on his website!
