Career
Stand-up comedy
After completing college, Soresi moved to New York to pursue comedy and acting full-time.[12] In 2020, he released his first special, Shelf Life which prompted NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour to call Soresi "a distinctive comic voice... giving voice to our collective anxiety".[2][13] Soresi performed as a part of the "New Faces" showcase at the 2022 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, which was hosted by Pete Holmes who called him on the 'You Made It Weird' podcast, "one of the funniest comedians in the world."[14] The Daily Comedy News Podcast said after that showcase that "he's the one to keep the eye on... he was absolutely fantastic".[15][16]
He has been called "one of the funniest people to grace the interwebs" by Comedy Cake,[17] "a true comedian" by Podcast Magazine[18] and in May 2022, Houston Press asserted that "Soresi is undoubtedly on his way up."[19] Soresi made his late night debut on the Late Late Show With James Corden on November 23, 2022.[20] He is currently performing on his Leaning In tour, with dates in 15 U.S. states, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
Podcast
In addition to live comedy performances, Soresi also hosts The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, an interview-based comedy podcast which Vulture hails as, "[finding] the sweet spot between funny and sad."[21] In a feature in Podcast Magazine, Kenneth Bator said of the podcast, "The art of comedy and the art of complaining are on display for all to enjoy".[18] The podcast hosts a diverse lineup of guests including Jerry Saltz, the Pulitzer-Prize winning art critic. Soresi made his art critique debut, to which Saltz noted, "That is one of the most beautiful reviews [...] that I've heard."[3]
