For those who don't have reddit : " I have 4 biological siblings (so 5 total kids.) Only 3 of us have been tested. The sister that bought the tests is definitely my Dad's. My brother that tested found his bio-dad and was told that he was a former coworker of my mother's."
I thought at that first, but then it might be that none of the children are from the dad who raised them. But two children are by the mailman and full siblings while one is by the milkman.
I’m going to the Uncasville shows and I hope he doesn’t hear or see me bc my autistic ass would forget words and be the most confusing not funny addition to his show 😂😂😂 I feel like I need to send him a mugshot and be like “black hole of fun-guaranteed bad time” 🎉😅
@@GabbyAbby First of, that mugshot is only gonna make him zero in on you and second of all guess how many interactions he has every show. Lets just say more than what we see. One time there was a comment who asked, "How is every fan interaction so funny?" And Gianmarco replied to the comment by saying, "its because I only upload the funny ones" I hope that takes some of the pressure off of you. Just go out there and have fun
I’m wondering the order of the children. Was the sister after the two brothers, before, or in the middle. If the sister is the oldest somehow I think that would make it worse
yeah surprisingly you can tell a lot about a person's life by what kinds of jokes they laugh at. i've accidentally raised some questions before when i've laughed a bit too hard at certain jokes 😂
To be fair, it was a way of rerunning the test in case the test company screwed up while getting some new information that included his wife's ancestry.
This reminds me of that doctor who swapped in his sperm for hundreds of patients at a fertility clinic. There are hundreds of people out there who think their kid is theirs when it's not. They have no way of contacting all the people he did this too. So the only way to find out is something like this.
Well tbh, they didn't know if he also was a side baby like the brother. It sounds like the sister is the father's child and this guy could have been as well.
@@senojoy12473 Right, it seems like they all thought maybe they were the only one if all Ancestry told them was that their siblings were only half-siblings
This audience member did an incredible job at telling his story! He divulged each little extra surprise in the perfect order and with impeccable delivery!
My dad told me, "Don't do one of those DNA tests. It would embarrass your mother." And I haven't stopped thinking about that since. What does he mean????
Depending on age, either you were adopted and she's ashamed that she couldn't have kids. Or your dad isn't your bio dad and he knows it but raised you anyways for the sake of your mother and just wants to keep the peace. Or someone in your family is racist and there's something in the family tree they don't want to admit to.
It could be that your parents used either an egg or a sperm donor. Infertility used to be a super taboo topic (not that it's not anymore). If you're an adult now, your parents probably would've had lots of pressure not to talk about fertility issues with anyone, and doctors used to even make parents promise not to tell their kids they were donor conceived. If you're not sure, it could be worth taking a test or having a conversation about it with your parents, if for no other reason than to make sure your medical history is accurate.
The sister bought tests for the family. Surely the mom knew this would be revealed. Instead of mom being a cheater, let's hope there was a medical necessity for using a sperm donor (multiples) and Dad was in on it. Best case scenario even though it's still messed up they didn't say anything to the kids.
@@ak062485 I mean.. if she was cheating it's perfectly plausible that she had sex with her side and with her husband within a similar timeframe and then just wasn't sure. But medical reasons would certainly be more pleasant lol
It was funny, but also showed that his mother's betrayal has affected him deeply by making him question his own wife's fidelity. Not that I blame him, the whole situation is so messed up.
seems normal from his videos that the crowd misses most of the jokes in details 😅 They are probably too drunk or lost in their confused thoughts in the moment to catch it hahaha
@@xelaander8429 he discussed this multiple times in the AMA. The dad is 74 and with the mom and he doesn’t wanna mess up his happiness now especially since he sees him as a dad. And obviously people have different opinions on that but personally I don’t think I’d wanna know at that age (unless it was medically necessary) cuz it’s not like you wanna start over a whole life. But the dad may already know or may be able to move past it. Idk but I do think the dude is not telling him out of love
Dude, how do you always find the people with the wildest stories? 😅 These are you true talents, being funny and finding at least one person with a crazy story in every crowd.
You should check out Akaash Singh’s shorts on his crowd work. I think this skill is a direct reflection of a great comedian who has mastered the art of framing social commentary in a way that unveils how ridiculous all of it is so we can laugh in awkward awareness.
We recently found out my uncle fathered several illegitimate children. Thanks 23andMe! One of his secret kids was born just a few months apart from the baby his wife had. He was in the military and based on the birth dates and locations, the affairs happened during deployment. Both my uncle and his wife, and the other kid’s parents have all passed so we couldn’t do a fun reveal or anything. At least there’s a happy ending- all the kids get along really well. They all have his sense of humor, even the ones who never knew him which is kinda weird. They stay in contact and are planning to meet sometime for their first sibling meet up lol.
"illegitimate children"? how are they illegitimate? the man had sex with multiple women, it's obvious what's gonna happen. the problem is when women lie to a men about the child being theirs.
This is actually more common than people realize. It may also be worth discussing with mom because it’s possible that his parents used sperm donors (knowingly, haha). I’ve had a number of clients who found out their biological father was someone else, but ended up that dad couldn’t have kids and the parents had used a sperm donor. But it is crazy how many parents have gotten away with never telling their child that they were adopted, had a different biological father, etc. Best that parents be honest now than have the child find out on their own through DNA testing like this guy and so many other people…
This was my first instinct as well - probably/hopefully a sperm donor type of situation 😅 I can’t imagine not talking to my parents about it though. This would eat me uppppp
I just watched a documentary about this. The siblings didn't know they were all doner babies because back when their mom used a doner it wasn't legal or talked about. There was a doctor willing to do it and used college students in the medical program as donors.
@@jdugan27 it was common practice for medical students to be donors for clinics, especially in the 50s-70s. What’s been more problematic has been revealing that doctors have made themselves the donors when the parents wanted to use the father, or an ANONYMOUS donor. 😬 (Our Father is the documentary about a very prolific case.)
I thought he was really well adjusted until he said he made his son take a test "just to be sure". It shows that the breach of trust from his mother has undermined his ability to trust his partner. I do not blame him for this (it is an understandable reaction to this situation), but it just shows that it has affected him and he maybe has not acknowledged that.
Man is on demon time, he got lied to by both of his siblings and his mother for years, and the way he responds to this information is by going "I'm going to join the list of people lying to my father."
He probably just doesn't want to hurt him. Clearly he loves his dad. Which is probably why he's not confronting his mum either, because then he'd have to tell his dad - then he'd be "really lying", as opposed to just shrugging it off
...Or maybe there's a relatively innocent explanation? Unlikely, buuut... I did hear of one family where the couple liked having a lot of threesomes and were embarrassed to tell their kids, even though one of them clearly had African-American ancestry while the others did not. Child confronted mom about it, only to have mom embarrassedly explain AND have dad confirm.
Gianmarco has an AMAZING ear/ sixth sense! See how he zoom into this guy just for his laughter! He *knew* something was the matter. What are the odda on picking up on an audience member with just a juicy story! And very hard to come back from it to the show, so he perfectly tied it up saying that how is how men deal with problems... amazing!
This man didn't even have time to tell jokes lmao I was straight up waiting for Gianmarco to just take a seat in the crowd and be like "you get up there bro you got more to say than I do"
I love that this is essentially just statements of fact, and the actual amount of riffs and jokes from this story is minimal because the story itself is sooooo inherently comedic.
My husband and I were at this show, and this whole interaction had him laughing off his chair! Been waiting to see when this would be posted on YT, and it's still hilarious 😂
@@nihiliststar in the AMA I think it was 16-17. And he’s not currently with that partner cuz they were young and just became different people & went separate ways but the son still sees the mom on holidays and stuff
Surprised no one in the comments seems to have pointed out yet that there is a super reasonable explanation that doesn't involve cheating; dad is infertile and they used sperm donors for all three kids. Given that all three siblings have different bio dads and from what the man said, they haven't confirmed even one as being biologically related to their father, I find it pretty likely.
He did not say his sister had a different father, only that the other brother had a different father. So unless we know that the sister has a different father too, seems kinda weird
@@yuanzhang7908 His brother and sister have different fathers, and he has a different father from both of them. That's three biological fathers, and their dad hasn't taken a test because otherwise he would be aware of the situation without needing to be informed. There is no actual evidence given that their father is biologically related to any of them. In fact, the man telling the story points this out when Gianmarco says that his mother had two babies that were not his dad's, saying "at LEAST two." If they knew for certain that his sister was their dad's biological child, that statement would make no sense.
@@eleanoreliz Exactly!! And even though these days I think it's pretty well-known that best practice is honesty with a child about them being donor-conceived or adopted or whatever from a very early age, forty years ago? Noooo way.
I think this is a good theory, but if the parents knew they were going to take an ancestry DNA test then wouldn't there have been a discussion before hand because they knew they would find out regardless. Or there would have been a discussion after they found out, I don't think everyone in the family would be silent about it.
There are a lot of hilarious parts to this story, but my favorite part isn't actually a joke. It's when gianmarco asks (and seems like he really will respect the guys wishes) if he can post the video on UA-cam as long as he doesn't show the guys face. This is an amazing and hilarious anecdote that he seemed willing to walk away from out of respect for the dudes privacy. That's awesomeness.
OMG, what a gift! I love the taking the notes out at the end as if to check what was on there was anywhere as remotely good as that interaction. As we say down under, “Yeah, nah.”
That story was so chaotic. I am SCREAMING laughter. How the fuck do you find all these people at your shows? Like what?! And your commentary! I'm weak. 😂😂😂
I think a likely scenario is being glossed over - it's possible that his father was infertile and that his parents knowingly got sperm donors for their kids, and that could be why each sibling has a different bio-dad? Because a friend's mom had the same exact scenario happen to her and her sister, and when they confronted their mother about it they found out that it wasnt a cheating scenario, but rather an infertility one, and that grandma and grandpa never brought it up because back then DNA tests were like... Not a thing, and by the time ancestry tests came around it was far too late and oftentimes forgotten. I do appreciate this dude's attitude of "it doesnt change anything about my situation, so whatever" instead of jumping to conclusions. A sit down conversation with their mom is probably in order though, just for clarity if nothing else. And hopefully do it while dad is still alive, so that if it IS an infertility story, their mom can pull dad into the conversation to reassure them
For the losers that tend to mock the 'crowd work' style: Gianmarco was the one that asked about the father, HE KNOWS HIS SHIT! Crowd work is not letting people talk is knowing what to do with the people. Kudos, Gian Marco, this was really good
“Yeah I made him take the test” is probably the funniest part lmao, bro is terrified of addressing the situation but no problem dragging his son into it
I had a friend this happened to!!! Same exact situation but it was with her grandma. They thought her dad was 50% italian, 50% Slovenian. Her dad was even raised in Italy by his (Slovenian) mother and (Italian) father. The test came back and they had less than 1% italian. So their grandma had another man's baby and raised it with her husband. They never told their dad though because the grandfather was long dead, and she had since remarried, and her new husband had also died.
this is my absolutely favorite crowd work bit of all time. i keep coming back to it when i'm feeling down or weird and it always makes me giggle and lose it over how batshit this specific series of events is -- the original laugh, the "he's great -- well,,", the revelations that keep coming about how wild this family is, "at least two," and "i had him take a test too, to make sure". art.
I'm 29, and my oldest brother just turned 40. My sister is 8 years younger than him, and our other brother one year younger than her. My brother has known for all three of our lives that we each have a different father. We were raised knowing that my oldest brother is our half brother, but were not told until last year that we ALL have different dads. My mom didn't cheat- my other siblings were born before they got married (I think before they even met?) but were still babies when they did so they were unaware. So I'm the only one of my siblings that was raised actually knowing my father. I was kinda fucked up over being lied to my whole life, but it didn't really change how I view my siblings. They're still my siblings, even if none of us share a dad.
I've been doing DNA on Ancestry for a while. So far, I've helped about a dozen people find their biological family. If you find out you're not your father's child, I highly recommend reaching out to your biological family. I've yet to reunite a family where the dad and his family weren't 100% happy to be contacted. I understand not telling your father the truth, especially if he's older, but that doesn't mean you can't contact your biological father (or your siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc). Allow them to know you and yourself the opportunity to know them. Don't dismiss the opportunity to connect with them with thoughts of "Ah. I'm too old to do this," or "They probably don't care." You can never have too many people to love!

I do not blame him for this (it is an understandable reaction to this situation), but it just shows that it has affected him and he maybe has not acknowledged that.
The fact that he says “Now it’s just a fun story” shows he hasn’t properly dealt with the situation. It is very much not “Just a fun story”😭
I listen to that 'No...' following 5:24, and I can hear that he looked down. Hope this show didn't knock the scab off that wound.
@@Thunderbender18830Wait wait wait... if he's not traumatized, that means he hasn't properly dealt with it? What kind of ass-backwards logic is that?
Man is on demon time, he got lied to by both of his siblings and his mother for years, and the way he responds to this information is by going "I'm going to join the list of people lying to my father."
He probably just doesn't want to hurt him. Clearly he loves his dad. Which is probably why he's not confronting his mum either, because then he'd have to tell his dad - then he'd be "really lying", as opposed to just shrugging it off
@@antine1279 I guess the question is: If you were the dad, would you want to know?
@@benjamingeorge8241If I was the dad I'd rather know than live my final years with a cheater, that's just me though.
Yeah, it really depends on whether you subscribe to moral relativity or absolutism. Is the right thing to tell the truth or to reduce hurt?
...Or maybe there's a relatively innocent explanation? Unlikely, buuut... I did hear of one family where the couple liked having a lot of threesomes and were embarrassed to tell their kids, even though one of them clearly had African-American ancestry while the others did not. Child confronted mom about it, only to have mom embarrassedly explain AND have dad confirm.
Gianmarco has an AMAZING ear/ sixth sense! See how he zoom into this guy just for his laughter! He *knew* something was the matter. What are the odda on picking up on an audience member with just a juicy story! And very hard to come back from it to the show, so he perfectly tied it up saying that how is how men deal with problems... amazing!
Sorry... *he zoomed... *odds... etc couldn't edit!
"You can put it wherever you want.", definitely his mother's son.
😂😂😂
This man didn't even have time to tell jokes lmao
I was straight up waiting for Gianmarco to just take a seat in the crowd and be like "you get up there bro you got more to say than I do"
I love that this is essentially just statements of fact, and the actual amount of riffs and jokes from this story is minimal because the story itself is sooooo inherently comedic.
My husband and I were at this show, and this whole interaction had him laughing off his chair! Been waiting to see when this would be posted on YT, and it's still hilarious 😂
Did they ever mention how old his son was? That really fleshes out a lot of the story for me.
@@nihiliststar in the AMA I think it was 16-17. And he’s not currently with that partner cuz they were young and just became different people & went separate ways but the son still sees the mom on holidays and stuff
Surprised no one in the comments seems to have pointed out yet that there is a super reasonable explanation that doesn't involve cheating; dad is infertile and they used sperm donors for all three kids. Given that all three siblings have different bio dads and from what the man said, they haven't confirmed even one as being biologically related to their father, I find it pretty likely.
He did not say his sister had a different father, only that the other brother had a different father. So unless we know that the sister has a different father too, seems kinda weird
@@yuanzhang7908 His brother and sister have different fathers, and he has a different father from both of them. That's three biological fathers, and their dad hasn't taken a test because otherwise he would be aware of the situation without needing to be informed. There is no actual evidence given that their father is biologically related to any of them. In fact, the man telling the story points this out when Gianmarco says that his mother had two babies that were not his dad's, saying "at LEAST two." If they knew for certain that his sister was their dad's biological child, that statement would make no sense.
There are plenty of donor babies who are now adults & were never told!
@@eleanoreliz Exactly!! And even though these days I think it's pretty well-known that best practice is honesty with a child about them being donor-conceived or adopted or whatever from a very early age, forty years ago? Noooo way.
I think this is a good theory, but if the parents knew they were going to take an ancestry DNA test then wouldn't there have been a discussion before hand because they knew they would find out regardless. Or there would have been a discussion after they found out, I don't think everyone in the family would be silent about it.
Your audiences really just have the best comedic timing
when he said he had his son tested.. man, that is some slow brewing emotional damage right there - he can never trust again, all courtesy of mum
There are a lot of hilarious parts to this story, but my favorite part isn't actually a joke. It's when gianmarco asks (and seems like he really will respect the guys wishes) if he can post the video on UA-cam as long as he doesn't show the guys face. This is an amazing and hilarious anecdote that he seemed willing to walk away from out of respect for the dudes privacy. That's awesomeness.
OMG, what a gift! I love the taking the notes out at the end as if to check what was on there was anywhere as remotely good as that interaction. As we say down under, “Yeah, nah.”
Sad for him but his DAD!! Oh boy...Breaks my heart
"That's a heavy load." My GUY.
You can see the wheels turning in Gianmarco’s head, hoping that his dad might not actually be is dad😂
Well we arleady know what's going in the 2024 best crowd work compilation 😂😂
What it looks like when a comedian falls into a bath of crowd work gold.
00:23 Gianmarco's face is like he won the lottery after he heard that "Well-okay" lmaoooo
Keeps the verbal permission to post in the video - good call
You know, I actually love that you asked him permission to post his story to your youtube, lol.
„What’s momma‘s baby, is papa‘s maybe.“
Love how he pulls out his phone halfway through like “do we have enough time to unpack this?” 🤣🤣
That story was so chaotic. I am SCREAMING laughter. How the fuck do you find all these people at your shows? Like what?! And your commentary! I'm weak. 😂😂😂
This is the most riveting crowd work video I have ever seen in my life. Soresi's over the top reactions made it even better.
“i’m almost 40, it doesn’t change who i am” 🥺 i love him
The way he keeps bracing himself against the wall after every twist 😂😂
It’s not a gianmarco set without him roasting his dad
I love the way you lose it at your own jokes lol.
I do feel bad for the dad, he should know.
If it were me, I wouldn't want to know at that point.
@@econgator6153some people are weak and wish to live ignorance others have backbone and would rather face the truth
stuff like that should put women in jail
@@AB-dd4jz That's a very large share of women. The whole prison system would breakdown.
Can you imagine telling your sibling you’re not their sibling and their response is, yeah I know let’s talk about this in the morning
😮🤯 I’m sorry wut
This is the most interesting clip/story from crowd work I’ve ever seen. Wow
One thing that I really like about your videos, Mr. Soresi, is that you are having as much fun as your audience.
"you can put it wherever you want" he learnt that from his mom
Clever
I think a likely scenario is being glossed over - it's possible that his father was infertile and that his parents knowingly got sperm donors for their kids, and that could be why each sibling has a different bio-dad? Because a friend's mom had the same exact scenario happen to her and her sister, and when they confronted their mother about it they found out that it wasnt a cheating scenario, but rather an infertility one, and that grandma and grandpa never brought it up because back then DNA tests were like... Not a thing, and by the time ancestry tests came around it was far too late and oftentimes forgotten.
I do appreciate this dude's attitude of "it doesnt change anything about my situation, so whatever" instead of jumping to conclusions. A sit down conversation with their mom is probably in order though, just for clarity if nothing else. And hopefully do it while dad is still alive, so that if it IS an infertility story, their mom can pull dad into the conversation to reassure them
Thank you for offering a positive alternative understanding, as slagging the mother gets a wee bit tiresome.
The “WHAT” flying across the screen felt so perfect to encapsulate how it sounded, just fired out there 😂
I love how you brought it back to spreading the word at the end.
For the losers that tend to mock the 'crowd work' style: Gianmarco was the one that asked about the father, HE KNOWS HIS SHIT! Crowd work is not letting people talk is knowing what to do with the people.
Kudos, Gian Marco, this was really good
“Yeah I made him take the test” is probably the funniest part lmao, bro is terrified of addressing the situation but no problem dragging his son into it
This is the wildest crowd work story I have heard
I had to watch this three times for the story to properly sink in cause that was a WILD ride!
whoever changed the font of the subtitles when he spoke italian needs to get a raise
That audience guy is so cool about it❤️😃
Criminally underrated clip, always love Gianmarcos crowd work!
This guy should have gotten his ticket money back and got a drink because his story won the show 😂😂😂😂
This man better buy tickets to a show in the future when he talks to his mom about it…I need the sequel!
1:05 dude turned into Lil John so quick… WHAT? OKAY!
I can imagine, for a comedian, how great these situations are. You go in preparing to perform, and instead you get to be part of the audience.
not telling the dad is wild tho!
I had a friend this happened to!!! Same exact situation but it was with her grandma. They thought her dad was 50% italian, 50% Slovenian. Her dad was even raised in Italy by his (Slovenian) mother and (Italian) father. The test came back and they had less than 1% italian. So their grandma had another man's baby and raised it with her husband. They never told their dad though because the grandfather was long dead, and she had since remarried, and her new husband had also died.
Thank you Gianmarco giving voice to every silent scream I was emoting in my thin-walled apartment.
Best crowd work participant EVER.
i only saw the yt short before this and BOY was the full version worth it
This is actually one of the reasons I think children should take the mother's last name. Just makes more sense when tracing lineage.
When you think there couldn't be any more hilarious stories from your audience, and you get this 🤣
What a story for a comedy show
That wall really held him up through that set😂😂
I thought I was 1/2 Italian, but a big chunk of that half was actually French. The news was devastating. 😢
5:50 is so funny to me! The way he is so calm and cavalier about it😂
This is probably the best crowdwork story I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing
I watched the short first and then this video. This was the most shockingly hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. OMG
this is my absolutely favorite crowd work bit of all time. i keep coming back to it when i'm feeling down or weird and it always makes me giggle and lose it over how batshit this specific series of events is -- the original laugh, the "he's great -- well,,", the revelations that keep coming about how wild this family is, "at least two," and "i had him take a test too, to make sure". art.
I'm 29, and my oldest brother just turned 40. My sister is 8 years younger than him, and our other brother one year younger than her. My brother has known for all three of our lives that we each have a different father. We were raised knowing that my oldest brother is our half brother, but were not told until last year that we ALL have different dads. My mom didn't cheat- my other siblings were born before they got married (I think before they even met?) but were still babies when they did so they were unaware. So I'm the only one of my siblings that was raised actually knowing my father. I was kinda fucked up over being lied to my whole life, but it didn't really change how I view my siblings. They're still my siblings, even if none of us share a dad.
This is the best crowd work bit i've seen in a loooong time
Always do your DNA tests in private first lmao
Thank the heavens for that wall - that wall saved Gianmarco's life several times 😂
I’m 35 and I found out the same two years ago. This man is taking it like a champ.
'it's a whole thing' lol, that guy is my favorite.
I've been doing DNA on Ancestry for a while. So far, I've helped about a dozen people find their biological family. If you find out you're not your father's child, I highly recommend reaching out to your biological family. I've yet to reunite a family where the dad and his family weren't 100% happy to be contacted. I understand not telling your father the truth, especially if he's older, but that doesn't mean you can't contact your biological father (or your siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc). Allow them to know you and yourself the opportunity to know them. Don't dismiss the opportunity to connect with them with thoughts of "Ah. I'm too old to do this," or "They probably don't care." You can never have too many people to love!
Gianmarco lives for the drama of it all.
This goes immediately at my top 10 list of crowd stories from your stand up shows 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg! This is a WHOLE VIBE
The hypocrisy of testing your son but not telling your dad is so fucking hilarious
Yh Hilarious - he wanted to know if his son was his - but apparently the man who raised him all of these years doesnt deserve the same courtesy
this is gold. can't write this stuff. amazing work
When Gianmarco starts grabbing for the walls, shits about to go doooown
"You can put it wherever you want..."
"I guess your mum doesn't have that mentality."
When that woman said"oh my god" and then said it 9 more times, I felt that
Gianmarco giving us an excellent visual representation of what it means to be shook by gripping the wall like it's a life line 😂
