Goofing around and pranking your friends is practically a right of passage for most youngsters, but few have parlayed that into a lucrative professional career like Joe Gatto and his pals. After years of doing sketch and improv comedy as The Tenderloins, the group of Staten Island comedians broke out massively with their hit hidden camera show Impractical Jokers. While Gatto left the show in 2021 to focus more on his family, he certainly hasn’t left behind making people laugh. He’s now focused on stand-up comedy — which somehow feels like a less stressful vocation than being one of the Jokers — and brings his wisecrack to Spokane on his Let’s Get Into It tour.
