Gianmarco Vincent Soresi (born August 20, 1988) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, podcaster, and internet personality. He is known for his observational comedy and includes themes of everyday life, pop culture, and current events in his stand-up performances. [2] [3] [4]
Soresi was born on August 20, [5] 1988, [6] in Maryland to an Italian father and a Jewish mother. His parents divorced shortly after his birth. [7] He attended Georgetown Day School [8] and later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theater from the University of Miami in 2011. [9] [10] [11]
He also participated in Birthright Israel, a free ten-day trip to Israel for young Jewish adults between the ages of 18 and 26. [12]
After completing college, Soresi moved to New York to pursue comedy and acting full-time. [13] He began performing stand-up comedy in 2016. [1] In 2020, he released his first half-hour of material, Shelf Life. [3] [14] Soresi performed as a part of the "New Faces" showcase at the 2022 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, hosted by Pete Holmes; Holmes called him (on the You Made It Weird podcast) "one of the funniest comedians in the world." [15] [16]
Soresi made his late-night debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden on November 23, 2022. [17] He appeared on Netflix's Verified Stand-Up, which the New York Times covered, calling Soresi "a Jewish comic who alternates between silkily feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation." [18] He also performed sets for Don’t Tell Comedy and on Comedy Central, winning Season 8 of Amazon’s Comics Watching Comics [19] .
Soresi appeared in a season seven episode of the comedy panel game show Game Changer alongside comedians Jeff Arcuri and Josh Johnson. The episode was spun-off into an original comedy game-show called Crowd Control. Soresi returned for the show's first season. [20] [21]
He released his first full-length comedy special "Thief of Joy" which the New York Times called "superb" on YouTube on September 19, 2025, the same week that he performed a stand-up set on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. [22] [23] [24] [25]
Soresi’s sold-out Edinburgh Fringe 2025 run included a last-minute addition of a show at McEwan Hall, a venue with an occupancy of over 1,000 [26] [27] . He was called “a Fringe force to watch” by Edinburgh Festival Magazine and The National, which gave his show five stars, stated he “charmed the crowd within seconds” [28] [29] .
Soresi hosts The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, [30] an interview-based comedy podcast produced by Headgum [31] co-hosted with actor and comedian Russell Daniels. [30]
He is a member of the sketch comedy group Uncle Function.
He has made appearances in films such as Hustlers, and in episodes of The Last O.G. and Blue Bloods. [13]
Soresi previously lived in New York City on the Lower East Side, near the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, [32] before temporarily moving to Los Angeles in January 2025, just as the wildfires broke out. [33] He currently resides in the Dumbo area of Brooklyn with his longtime partner, Tovah Silbermann, a talent manager whom he has been dating since 2020. He describes himself as a cultural Jew. [7]
