Gianmarco Soresi is a New York-based stand-up comedian, actor, and creator known for his
sharp societal observation and spry, energetic stage presence. Gianmarco effortlessly
commands a room with his animated style, blending upbeat candor with dark comedic beats —
which has garnered him critical acclaim from The NY Times, Vulture, Deadline, NPR, The
Atlantic and a fanbase of millions across social media. He is a global touring act performing to
sold out audiences across the world. He’s performed stand-up on The Tonight Show, The Late
Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York,
and was selected as a JFL New Face in 2022. He was also featured on Netflix’s recent multi-
comic stand-up series “Verified Stand-Up” which released on the platform in November 2023.
Gianmarco has also acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Netflix’s Bonding, Hustlers, The Last
OG, and is the host of the popular podcast “The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.” In
September he released his debut special Thief of Joy on his YouTube channel and it became
an instant smash hit, with over 3M views, in the first 2 months! Jason Zinoman at the New
York Times called it “superb.” It’s “the best debut special of 2025” according to the NYPost
and it’s clear on his debut that he is as Vulture says “effusive and expressive, a chatterbox of
ideas.” Yahoo News says that in Thief of Joy, he “attacks every moment with infectious energy
and charisma” and they are correct that “we’re just finally happy we have a longer format to
watch.”
