Early life

Soresi was born on August 20,[6] 1988,[7] in Maryland to an Italian Catholic father and a Jewish mother.[8] His parents divorced shortly after his birth.[9] He attended Georgetown Day School[10] and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theater from the University of Miami in 2011.[11][12][13]

Career

Stand-up comedy

After completing college, Soresi moved to New York to pursue comedy and acting full-time.[14] He began performing stand-up comedy in 2016.[1] In 2020, he released his first half-hour of material, Shelf Life.[4][15] Soresi also performed as a part of the "New Faces" showcase at the 2022 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.[16][17]

Soresi made his late-night debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden on November 23, 2022.[18] Reviewing Soresi's 2023 appearance on Netflix's Verified Stand-Up, Jason Sinoman for The New York Times wrote that Soresi "alternates between silkily feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation."[19] Soresi also performed sets for Don't Tell Comedy and on Comedy Central, winning Season 8 of Amazon’s Comics Watching Comics.[2] Soresi appeared in an episode of Dropout's comedy panel game show Game Changer alongside comedians Jeff Arcuri and Josh Johnson. The episode was spun-off into a comedy game-show called Crowd Control, and Soresi appeared in its first season.[20][21]

He released his first full-length comedy special Thief of Joy 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] That same year, Soresi debuted his tour The Drama King and performed at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.[26][27] At the end of 2025, Deadline named him one of the "Comics Who Won 2025".[28]

Other ventures

Soresi co-hosts The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, an interview-based comedy podcast produced by Headgum, with actor and comedian Russell Daniels.[29][30] He is a member of the sketch comedy group Uncle Function alongside Chris Cafero, Daniels, Jessica Frey, Douglas Goodhart, and Joseph Lymous. As an actor, he has made minor appearances in several films and television shows, including Hustlers (2019), The Last O.G. (2018–2021) and Blue Bloods (2010–2024).[14]

Personal life

Soresi previously lived in Lower East Side, New York City,[31] before temporarily moving to Los Angeles in January 2025, just as the wildfires broke out.[32] He currently resides in the Dumbo, Brooklyn with his partner Tovah Silbermann, a talent manager. The couple has been dating since 2020.[8] He describes himself as a cultural Jew.[9] In the context of the Gaza genocide, Soresi has spoken up in support of Palestine and against Israel's actions.[33]
