Joe Gatto: Let’s Get Into It – featuring Mark Jigarjian, The Palace Theater, Albany, 7pm
Joe Gatto is a comedian best known from the hit TV shows “Impractical Jokers” and “The Misery Index.” He has toured with the Jokers live comedy show to sold-out crowds across the world, including legendary arenas, such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the O2 Arena in London. Currently, Joe tours with his stand-up solo show “Joe Gatto’s Night of Comedy” in sold out theaters across the United States. Joe is passionate about supporting anti-bullying organizations and animal rescue initiatives. He happily advocates for the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” movement with his non-profit Gatto Pups and Friends which operates on Long Island, NY catering to mainly senior and disabled pups. Joe also hosts a popular comedy podcast called “Two Cool Moms” on the iHeart Radio Podcast Network where he and his co-host dispense sage motherly advice to fans who write in with their dilemmas, and is planning his first ever children’s book, Where’s Bearry?, which is out September 3 via Penguin Workshop. He also lives his life by a code of pastry and family, loving his wife, two children and cannoli.
Dogs in a Pile + Consider the Source, Putnam Place, Saratoga Springs
“Byron, you & Peter got some Everly Brothers shit going on…” – Larry Campbell, Caffe Lena, Saratoga Springs, 7pm-9pm
This duo is a major find. NYC singer and irresistible personality Peter Cole, along with two-time GRAMMY-winner Byron Isaacs (current member of The Lumineers), have done weird tours and triumphant tours, placed lots of songs in film and TV, and maintained a sense of humor and artistic authenticity throughout. They’ve branched out from their early commitment to Americana and entered a retro pop/rock universe. Their anthemic songs push the national zeitgeist through vintage synthesizers, guitar pedals and tea-soaked vocal cords to create songs that are triumphant, unguarded and singable.
