Gianmarco Vincent Soresi (born August 20, 1988) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, podcaster, and internet personality. [1] [2] [3]
Soresi was born on August 20, [4] 1988 [5] in Maryland to an Italian father and a Jewish mother. His parents divorced shortly after his birth. [6] He attended Georgetown Day School. [7] He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater from the University of Miami in 2011. [8] [9] [10] Soresi previously lived in New York City on the Lower East Side, near the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, [11] before temporarily moving to Los Angeles in January 2025, just as the wildfires broke out. [12] He resides in the Dumbo area of New York City with his longtime girlfriend Tovah Silbermann, whom he has been dating since 2020. He describes himself as a cultural Jew. [6]
After completing college, Soresi moved to New York to pursue comedy and acting full-time. [13] In 2020, he released his first special, Shelf Life. [2] [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] The Daily Comedy News Podcast said after that showcase that "he's the one to keep the eye on ... he was absolutely fantastic". [17]
Soresi made his late night debut on the Late Late Show With James Corden on November 23, 2022. [18] 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." [19] In 2024, Vulture named him a "Comedian You Should and Will Know," saying "being as undeniably universal as Gianmarco Soresi requires an improbable combination of energy, productivity, and an ability to read the room ... He is effusive and expressive, a chatterbox of ideas and reactions with dense stretches of jokes that draw the eye in the compressed, attention-strained landscape of vertical video. His material about current events plays well in that environment, as do his regular clips of crowdwork." [20]
In 2024 he introduced his recurring series, Theater Adult, which Front Mezz Junkies called "a ridiculously engaging fun night of interview, musical theater, and comedy". [21] Stage and Cinema also gave a positive review, saying, "he frenetically struts the stage with energy and confidence, slipping easily between his standup material and audience interaction." [22]
In addition to live comedy performances, Soresi also hosts The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, an interview-based comedy podcast which Vulture called, "[finding] the sweet spot between funny and sad." [23] 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". [24]
As an actor, he has appeared in films like Hustlers and episodes of The Last O.G. , Blue Bloods, and others. [13]
