Hey comedy fans, get ready to laugh! On September 19, comedian Gianmarco Soresi finally released what he’s calling his true debut stand-up special, “Thief of Joy.” This 67-minute gem packs in his best bits, and it’s already turning heads. If you’re into stand-up comedy specials, this one’s a must-watch – available now on YouTube.
Soresi, the 37-year-old funnyman famous for claiming he’s “the first male comedian to do stand-up on ‘The Tonight Show’ in shorts,” has actually dropped comedy content before. Remember his 2020 special “Shelf Life,” filmed right in the heart of the COVID lockdown? Or his hilarious spots on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in 2022, plus shorter sets like “A Little Something Special” and “Don’t Tell”? Yeah, he’s been busy. But Soresi says “Thief of Joy” is the real deal – a perfect intro to his style that mixes punchy jokes with personal stories.
What makes this stand-up special stand out? Soresi dives into everything from heartfelt tales about his dad’s wild dating life (complete with a much younger girlfriend) to awkward chats about a tattoo his own girlfriend hates. He even nails a killer “Law and Order” skit that blends dark humor with everyday laughs. It’s bold, it’s funny, and it pokes fun at both sides of politics without missing a beat.
In an exclusive chat with The Post, Soresi shared the scoop. “This special pulls together bits from my first year of comedy, stories I’ve polished over time, and fresh material from the last six months,” he said. Fans who know him for his epic crowd work might be surprised – this one’s more joke-focused. “If you don’t know me yet, this shows my vibe, my takes on life, and what you’ll get at a live show,” he added.
