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.🎤

I think I already read it lol

[@icu3869]

Gianmarco is so exhilarating, quick, fun and fresh- what a sharp, natural born performer. His theatrical charm is effervescent and irresistible -Im tickled and laughing every time- Good thing the paper’s there -people Need to know about this incredible, underrated talent.👍

[@anamakesthings]

@@cavaalli perfect I can pile on to your comment :)) YES COME TO MONTRÉAL

[@andreallheart]

Gianmarco Soresi sexual orientation isn't gay or straight, it's just pure theater.

[@Matty002]

i find it crazy that he'll literally say 'im a theatre kid' and people still think he must be gay 🙃

[@CarbonatedCondensation]

⁠@@Matty002most theater kids are queer so it kinda makes sense

[@AmeliaC-e8o]

@@CarbonatedCondensation My brother is a theather kid and is pan. Do you have any idea how dramatic pansexaul ESFP theather kids are?

[@CarbonatedCondensation]

@@AmeliaC-e8o god, I can imagine 😂

[@fluffigverbimmelt]

To be fair, I get the announcer guy. Gianmarco is probably the gayest non-gay guy I ever heard

[@cspahn3221]

the remote dude was unreasonably funny to me

[@melinaalba63]

I thought it was very cute how he said that his girlfriend can't because she's too nervous. I would love a boyfriend who saves me from Situations like that😂

[@AsterBTT]

It's 525,600 minutes. I'm not even a theatre kid, that number just lives in my head rent-free.

[@nora-.-g]

I see what you did there

[@DIYHRTlover]

525960 if you count leap years 🤓

[@CraftBasti]

Why? As a non theather kid, please explain

[@AsterBTT]

@@CraftBasti The number comes from the Broadway musical and subsequent 2005 movie adaptation, "Rent". It was very popular and highly acclaimed in the 90s, and was something of a cultural phenomenon, especially for the theatre crowd, as it was a musical about the struggles of artists trying to make their way in NYC. The material also dealt with topics like HIV and AIDS, which both have complex cultural and medical histories, which made Rent even somewhat infamous. Even as a non-theatre kid, growing up in the 90s, I became familiar with it, much like how non-readers became familiar with Twilight or non-gamers became familiar with Pokemon. In particular, the song the number comes from, "Seasons of Love" is quite the earworm, thus the number lives in my head, "Rent-free".

[@CraftBasti]

@@AsterBTT I see, that is very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to elaborate, much appreciated

[@MoniqueJonath]

as a bad queer surrounded by other bad gays and queers, i knew where the joke was going like 2 seconds in. pure gold.

[@katzenbekloppt_mf]

Yep😂

[@CryoCoffinVampire]

[@BobDeGuerre]

Gen-X gay here. Oh HELL YES! 😅

[@cheeromatic]

that joke formula is somehow remind me of "how white guy say the N word" 😂

[@Aryasvitkona]

I didn't know where it was going but the moment he said "Fucking" i knew what was being asked, so glad the guy got it, woulda killed the joke if he missed it

[@IndigoIndustrial]

His flow is supreme. So quick to improvise and circle back.

[@JanneBernards]

Honestly, I get the rage at inanimate objects. I can handle a lot of nonsense from people without losing my cool, but tech not working properly when I need it to gets me from 0-100 pretty quickly. lol.

[@br3669]

I appreciate that. Seriously! If you have to have anger issues, *please* have THOSE anger issues 😅

[@Sienisota]

Yeah, we created technology because we KNOW humans are incompetent most of the time. So that technology better WORK, that is the point of technology!

[@haileys5224]

I have never called a person a stupid b!tch. I have however cussed out my laptop more times than I can count.

[@Jkjoannaki]

People aren't meant to serve us, TECHNOLOGY WAS MADE TO SERVE US. WORK CORRECTLY AND FAST, OBJECT, I PAID MONEY FOR YOU, I NEVER PAY MONEY FOR PEOPLE

[@GalacticYuna]

For the most part you can get super angry at an inanimate object without feeling bad too lol- it's a good outlet for general rage :P

[@icu3869]

“ If I liked talking to you this much I wouldn’t want to Be in an Open Relationship” wow. GOLD!😂LMAO.

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

"Thank god [my therapist] couldn't hear me because she was assaulting the officer" And here I am thinking after all that buildup you'll end that with "she was pegging the officer" 😅.

[@nabd341]

Ohhhhhhh that would’ve been the cherry on top

[@aqueelkadri8371]

The therapist assaulting the MTA officer made me spit a mango and I didn't think that was possible

[@urieldaboamorte]

1:25 the enunciation of "that's my thing!" activates an extra neuron in me

[@Jzimuzo]

When he said "Fuck these fucking trains", he sounded like Blitzø in Helluva Boss 😂

[@pauwula]

[@pauwula]

[@nabd341]

After listening to Gianmarco’s comedy for like a couple of years and here him talk about theatre, I kid you not, when he was like “that’s my thing, I’m a theatre kid” I felt my heart warm and AUDIBLY went “awwww”

[@Uufda651]

Theater Kid is such a ✨ Character ✨ of person. I desperately wanted to be a theater person as a kid but I couldn't hack it so I was a Choir and Book kid.

[@codymakinson]

the fucking remote dude DEFINITELY took an edible before that show and was absolutely vibing with your set lmao

[@eekeziel]

Can't wait to see the pics! Watching this in bed was a horrible decision, my laughs woke my partner up

I'm polyamorous. I have been with one of my partners for 19 years and with the other 9 years. I have a kid with the second partner and her husband. There is a lot of talking and very little sex. But I wasn't in it for the sex, hence polyamory and not an open relationship.

[@ItsKierancraft]

🔥🔥💯

[@bronzergoth7598]

its funny because i am ethically/philosophically open to polyamory...but due to extreme introversion i can only bring myself to text like. two people per day, TOPS

Genuinely you're one of my favorite comedians ❤❤❤ Also, I really, REALLY appreciate the effort put in for your subtitles/captions!! I'm hard of hearing, so usually words aren't clear to me, but I can pick up on the tone/sound/flow. So, having the words to read along with what I hear genuinely makes it a full, hilarious experience!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shApYT]

You traumatized me. At 7:14 I came to the realisation that it could end at any moment.

[@travellerinthedark]

I don't know why theatre kids know how many minutes there are in a year, I know because I studied astrophysics XD

[@Fluff_Noodles]

There's a song from Rent that repeats 525,600 minutes....I learned the whole song for choir 😅

I love watching your vids so much 😭 i like how open minded and accepting yet so funny you are in an insulting way tooo. Thanks for the laughs💜

[@candyh4284]

I also get the "mad at inanimate object" thing! I think it's a people-pleaser thing where it's like, you take anger from other people without returning it, but that needs somewhere to go, it doesn't just disappear, so we displace it onto things that don't feel.

[@xenontesla122]

Jeff Foxworthy plays a character on stage, he's not really like that in real life. All three of those blue collar comedy guys did that. They're actually all three pretty well-spoken and intelligent people. So, idk, I can kind of see the overlap. You're a theater kid, jeff plays a character... lmfao

[@riyak.7393]

i love your comedy so much please don't ever touch kids 😭🙏🙏

[@SandbagsYoutube]

I totally get the inanimate object thing. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results then I think the definition of frustration is the opposite, which feels like insanity sometimes for me, it's when you do the same thing expecting the same results but you get something-fucking-else.... it's maddening.

[@spiellyable]

😂😂😂 Consistently the best comedy. ❤❤❤

[@bmac4]

That Denny's joke hit too close to home lol I was in theater in high school and we crashed many a late night diner on the weekends (albeit not as late as 3AM but we were still by far the majority of the people there).

[@son0fhobs-again]

Best material by far!!!! Also, you didn't do any of that staring off awkwardly while you waited for the laughter to end. That always bugged me. This clip feels like it flowed better and was way more natural.

The train just barely stops. I have to walk only another 8 seconds to get to the door and the driver couldn't even wait that! It closed right on me and leaves!!?😠

[@a.m.7438]

I wasn't approaching from behind either. It was facing me front on! That means the driver looked right at me, illuminated by its lights and went, "nope!" 🖕🤬

[@Worry-Panic]

I am not proud of this story, for the record. So I have a very very high tolerance for anger, I don't often get mad at people, unless it's a person online and they become not people for some reason..well, my bathroom faucet was dripping and I couldn't stop it, I set my coffee down on the side of the tub to stack things up so the dripping sound would be less loud. It wasn't working and I got so mad I PUNCHED MY COFFEE AS HARD AS I COULD and coffee went everywhere. If anyone cuts me off in traffic or does something stupid I don't get upset, but dripping faucet made me unhinged.

[@PrincessOzaline]

I'm converting, and doing Reform so don't technically need to keep kosher, and as of right now I am not... maybe someday (disability gets in the way). But I've hated pork products since like the third grade, and so I don't find bacon cheeseburgers exciting, I find my lack of liking pork convenient. But I ended my first Passover a day early (cause again Reform, I can do that)... and had a nice spaghetti with marinara, and tons of parm on it.
