Gianmarco Soresi | Shelf Life (2020) | Full Stand Up Comedy Special

In the year 2020, one of the worst things that’s ever happened to humanity occurred…
Gianmarco Soresi had to put his stand-up comedy career on hold. Forcing him to cancel three shows he had booked in Bloomington, Asheville, and some super Jewish event where they told him not to tell his R Kelly joke.
When people began returning to outdoor gatherings, Gianmarco decided to film a mini comedy special in accordance with all the CDC recommendations because he is a liberal c*ck. This is that special. Enjoy.

More about Gianmarco:
Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

bless the woman who laughs during gianmarco's dramatic pauses, her laughter gets me every time with a "bonk"

[@GianmarcoSoresi]

😂 Thanks for watching!

[@user-yg8kq6sd5h]

@@rollinpace4lyf you probably don't mean ill, but please don't tell someone's joy is "too much" also 1) it's the acoustics of the room, 2) you can always hear gianmarco well, 3) with the way he treats his audience I believe he's enjoying her laughter too.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

There's the first wave of laughter when Gianmarco tells the joke, then the second wave of laugher when that lady laughs

[@zekova]

​​@@user-yg8kq6sd5hspot on my dude! My dad CONSTANTLY belittles people for laughing too loud and it makes me so mad. At 28, I still struggle with feeling immense shame if I laugh "too loud," or am too this or too that. It's awful. 😭

[@BlanBonco]

Watch it at 2x

It is rare to watch a 2020 set that is still digestible now. You kept it funny, loved the jokes about wedding registries 😅

Gianmarco looked so much younger during the early onset of the pandemic.

From someone in their 30s, he looks much more sophisticated and attractive now.

you're honestly one of my favourite new comedians! perfect mixture of subverting expectations, self deprecation, and dark humour (that isn't edgy for the sake of being edgy). can't wait until you get a netflix special - with a huge payout of course 😊

i was never interested in stand-up comedy, until i stumbled upon one of your shorts and got curious to check out more of your stuff. now i just sat through a 30 min video without even realizing cause i was so locked in and entertained lol your jokes actually make me laugh and the entire set was great!

It's so bizarre watching a comedy special from the time of pandemic. Just realising how weird and different the world was for a few years.

[@presentlycrescent]

I’ve seen a lot of these jokes on shorts but it’s delightful to see them all together! You’re so funny I love this - I forgot about the train bit and it’s honestly really cute. The joke DID land but the story is still super sweet

[@a.m8611]

not the joke about the titanic 💀💀💀

[@ABBCoffical]

It’s amazing seeing a full set instead of disjointed bits of gold scattered about various social media platforms! Genus Gianmarco, as usual!

[@623giggle]

Funny that he predicted the 2020 election waaay more accurately than he'd hoped. It's like watching a "The Simpsons" clip after they Nostradamus us.

[@canliu7191]

He's so funny and so good looking!! Also liked that he did a John Mulaney impression. John's my favourite comedian and Gianmarco is now my favourite "on-the-rise" comedian. Hope he gets really big in the future

Crazy thing is that following year, 2021, while Gianmarco was taking the poor man's tour of the Titanic above sea level, the Titan submersible debuted its Titanic tours for the mega rich. Gianmarco is still alive and now is richer than those poor people, just a sobering thought 🤔
