[edit] Arbitrary section header

This article claims that JP won New Faces. The new faces article claims he came second. Which is correct? Guinness 17:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I have uploaded an image of Joe: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Joe_Pasquale_2007.JPG but do not know how to get it to be visible on this page - if anyone can help please do. [Lynda Steele March 2008]

Under trivia:

"likened to Tommy Cooper, he has been called a comic genius." Really? I think Joe himself might have written this... This is quote from a newspaper following the appearance on New Faces.

[edit] Thief

Is he a joke thief? Stewart Lee alleged that he stole the joke "People often say to me: 'Get out of my garden'" off some other comedian, who isn't famous. Is this true?

• I think we should at least mention this, Joe is mainly famous in the UK Alt-comedy circuit for being the butt of Stewart Lee's routine about joke theft.

Joe has been accussed of joke theft and there seems to be some evidence for this. Joe has stated that someone can't really own a joke so that may his way of admitting he has used other peoples jokes. Most of Joe's jokes are not new, it is the way he is on stage that makes it totally irrelevant whether you hav heard the joke before or not.

Joe did not win NEW FACES he won his heat and came second in the final.

After borrowing a magicians trick he made a real hash of it but the crowd loved it and hence the remarks about Tommy Cooper were born and also his new act.

At the time of appearing on New Faces he admitted to judge Ken Dodd that he didn't really have an act.

[edit] To quote his tour/autobiography title...

Does he really talk like that?! Is the voice he uses his "natural" voice, or put on? Sven945 11:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I went to the same school as Joe and have met him since he became famous. He does have a high pitched voice but does exagerate this during his act. He says himself that the adrenalin of performing sends his voice higher but it is definitely not faked [Lynda Steele March 2008]

[edit] Children

Joe has 5 children between 8 and 28 including one step daughter.

Does anyone know if the 28-year-old is the step daughter mentioned above, or one of his biological children? If the latter, it would mean that Joe became a father at the age of 16 or 17, which I suppose is an interesting fact in itself. 217.155.20.163 22:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Joe has 4 biological children. Kerry-Louise Pasquale was born with the surname Patridge. She later took his surname just before he married her mother Alison Patridge. Alison and Joe met at Kerry's christening. Joe and Alison's first daughter was born 18 months after Kerry and so Joe was 18 when he became a father.

Kerry had the first grand child but obviously the grandson would be a step grandson as Kerry was not adopted. Joe and Alison were separated and seeking divorce when Kerry was 7 Danielle was 5 and Victoria was 3. Alison went on to have 3 further children but by that time Joe was divorced from Alison and married to Debbie. He is therefore not the step father of the 3 other children as is sometimes reported.

Joe has 4 biological children (3 girls, 1 boy) and 1 step daughter. He also has 3 grand children and 1 step grandchild

[edit] Reynard

Joe has a fictional twin brother Reynard? He has appeared in lots of Joe Pasquale's live shows, and is featured on the price is right. 86.29.35.24 (talk) 22:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC) Raynard is actually Ray Tizzard, long time friend and tour manager of Joe. They travel the country together when Joe is on tour, in a white van, set up all the props and pack away. Ray has also appeared with Joe in a number of Pantomimes as well as on the price is right in a variety of guises.[Lynda Steele March 2008]
