More about Gianmarco:
Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

I don't care about fuckin Appleton, it's two hours drive from Madison 😢
That tripping joke was my absolute most favourite joke today. And, I've looked in the mirror! 😂😂😂😂❤
That girl sounds like she's a D&D character on her tenth campaign
This girl just served up an entire crowdwork session and a half on a silver platter
I think we were mostly fascinated by her journey just like Gianmarco. I think they gave her the scholarship so she'd hang around and tell more of her story. "Quick, make it for linguistics so she'll talk more!"
She's only 24 but I'm already sold on her memoir.
@@SEOsisterFr. I would buy that
*Girl* _* works at the cemetery *_
*College:* _Wow, you're either really sick or a really good person!_
School board: Either way, we DO NOT want you falling through the cracks.
Doesn’t sound like there a lot of cracks in that graveyard, except in the tombstones.
Living in the UK, I'm like: "Was he in the executive board of the National Health Service while in high school???"
I watch a lot of British programs, so that's where my mind went as well
SAMEE I'm not British 😂
UK immigrant that spent the majority of my life growing up in the US: me too
The stomp killed me 😂😂😂
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me🎼🎶
It was so quick and subtle but it really got me
yes that was so good! 🤣
If you think that's overburied, you should have seen public cemetaries in Paris before the catacombs were filled. They just kept piling graves and putting more earth on top and raising the retaining walls around it, it would sometimes ooze rotten fats or entirely collapse, gas pockets would form, sometimes combusting spontaneously and of course it smelled like literal death for miles around to the point they decided to excavate many of the graves and pile the bones in the calcite mines below to make some space and sanitize the cemetaries.
And people were surprised they don’t clean their river except when the Olympics comes to town??? 😂
@@elizabethdeatrick6644 The city has more than 2000 years of history, retrofitting proper sewage systems isn't easy or cheap.
😮 are you serious?
@@Soken50 have you seen the broken water pipes that burst underground in China recently? Massive sinkhole is taking out a city block the last I saw. Yes it’s costly to maintain and or replace, however there are consequences to loosing major portions of such a historic city if care isn’t taken as well. The sinkhole in China was just a random road, thank goodness but the people who lost everything are probably not happy 🤷🏻♀️
@@elizabethdeatrick6644 Well, that has nothing to do with modernizing Paris sewers. The maintenance of the existing infrastructure is done, it's just complex to modernize it so sewage doesn't end up in the river. There are historical monuments above, metro lines below, electricity, telephone and internet lines weaving into the mix, it's a nightmare to dig up a parisian street for anything, let alone redoing a sewage line.
This interaction really highlights why I love Gianmarco so much. It's so intensely conversational and interactive and witty, even when it sounds like they're approaching on combative. This girl sounded so ready to fight but we got an intensely unique story out of it.
her: linguistics scholarship
gianmarco: so a lesbian
I straight up cackled, the room: dead silent. I feel like that one slipped right over all their straight heads. Which is weird because it was a Gianmarco show.
and he didn’t even throw in a “cunning linguist”, classy fella😂
i worked at eastern cemetery as well! it closed in 1993 and my university is still working to figure out everyone who's buried there and contact next of kin. i analyzed cremated remains and they somehow managed to mess those up *in addition* to the whole overburial scandal. so cool to hear from someone else who volunteered there!!
Was there a scandal? Why?
@@Amadis691they buried over 130k people in a graveyard w space for 30k to make as much money as possible, breaking all sorts of laws and doing a number of highly unethical things in the process. the loved ones of those buried there were outraged and devastated, and we're still working to even understand the extent of the damage thirty years after it was shut down
Wow interesting
She sounds so fucking done with everything she says. I just know she was looking at those grave stones like “Lucky you, I’m so jealous,”
This guy's a genius at comedy!
He's really fast thinking and his audience are a bunch of oddballs so that's a really interesting combination, you can't make this stuff up in advance.
SO QUICK
I love watching gianmarco going toe to toe with someone almost as charismatic
I've heard a lot of comedians say that the secret to good crowd work is asking questions that will give short answers but I love that Gianmarco just does not give a fudge and I prefer his crowdwork the most tbh. Its fun when the crowd member gets to tell their entire side of the story (with jokes sprinkled in) instead of the audience just getting to say one sentence and then getting smothered by the comedians responses.
Also 4:12 was really quick on the draw Gianmarco 🤣
I'm still laughing at the thought of a dead body getting a boner and making some poor grandma trip and break all her bones only cuz she was missing her late husband and came to give him a visit.
When COVID happened, I was midway through my junior year in high school and I decided to audition for the musical my school was doing. My literature teacher heard me singing in a corner and said I should audition. It went well, and I got a minor role, but it had a line directed at the audience (we were doing Frozen). We were a week out from shows, and we had done a dress rehearsal, and it went well. At the end of it, we got the great news! We were shutting down production because COVID-19 was too big! I had never done anything like theatre, and it sucked to lose that. It was a lot of fun. Every single day we would meet in our school's theatre and have a blast rehearsing. It brought out a better me! Fortunately, I was able to get on the stage again during my senior year, where we had a skeleton crew and did "Nightfall With Edgar Allan Poe". We had a few weeks, and 90% of it was done through Zoom, so we had the week of Spring Break to iron out the kinks and film it. COVID was still prevalent, we didn't have a live showing. I look back at that time with fond memories, even though the world was in such dire straits.
There were many pockets of joy during Covid. I'm glad you got to experience a few!
Ngl cemetery person sounds like the kind of person i'd ask out in a date. That's so fascinating.
Wow she has a wild story, imagine having a random person who came to your set on the podcast
10/10 would listen like and share
9:13 *If* he ever dies? Not when, but if.
you never know what kinda of kabbalah he can pull off
Seriously, I know you hear it all the time, but damn your crowd work is top notch. The way you steer people back to comedy. Just awesome.
I feel you could fit a few more people in. There was a cemetery in Prague where they added more earth so it got higher and higher. It's extremely sad because it's a result of the centuries long segregation and mistreatment of Jewish people, they didn't have any other space they could use and they were blocked by the empire from getting more.
I might be misremembering details, but my point is they could fit more if anyone wants to be buried there.
I must say, this girl is a darn good storyteller. I kinda wanna hear more 😅
I need her to write an autobiography
Ow no, he missed out on the cunnilinguistic scholarship joke opprtunity :p
Ow, I see someone else in the comments also thought of that joke. Damn, thought I was being clever ^^
@@EelcoWind "A very cunning linguist" or some variation thereof.
In fairness, I have to imagine she’s heard that before. Many times.
@@libbybollinger5901 She has, probably ^^ But for him and for the audience it's new and witty.
16,000 graves documentation for 138,000 bodies in 28 acres.
Damn Gianmarco, you're so damn funny! You know the balance needed to poke fun at others but in a way that also allows them to laugh at themselves. That is a damned gift and you sir are in the right profession! I hope to see you live some day, keep up the work and thanks for all the laughs!
@4:36 Oh no, my foot bumped a tiny mushroom
LMAO
that's one of the sharpest crowd work I've ever seen
The whole crowd was so down for crowd work and that lady had so much material to go off of (in a good way). Beyond funny, it was just interesting. Like, I watched parts of it multiple times.
This audience member was amazing.
This was great. I loved her delivery, she was so unfazed at this point lol.
I love this channel
Holy cow...
This was just perfect!
I wonder if they ever resort to just sliding the fresh ones in sideways like quarters getting lost in the couch cushions
Jessica Kirson sat in the audience because she wanted a break from the neverending tour
130,000??? Hell, she should've gotten SEVERAL scholarships!
Perhaps 4 and a half, to match the 30/130 over-capacity.
There is a documentary about Eastern Cemetery called “Facing East”.
Why are we awake bae
This was so wholesome ❤
Watching this video in 2024 when I just found out I have covid and can't see tonight's sold out show is a bit ironic, but good for anyone who missed out on getting a ticket
“…when you’re fully 24 at this point.”
What does that even mean?! 💀
Just the way that was worded
is she a cunning linguist?
phenomenal joke
holy shit. that’s insanely clever. (i had to read it twice)
Apparently so
You have three ready members for your cult of recycled jokes.
Damn, you beat me to it!! 🤣
Thanks for the killer show in Toronto, please visit again!
i work at a cemetery and part of the reasons u have to bury them certain depths is bc otherwise foxes or other animals might start digging them up
So many cool food places in Minnesota, we would love it if you came back to check out more cool food places here in Minnesota! Stay on the water next time, though!
Looked up the cemetery. Lol it's easy the better one over any cemetery in my country.
There are only two comedians on earth I trust to do crowd work: Gianmarco, and Gareth Reynolds.
Sorry for the sports commentary of this clip, but what seems so skilled about this was to dig into such a deep story, that kind of just got more difficult to find what the target of the joke should be given how sensitive the subjett can were and how many bits and pieces there were to keep track of (queerness, Orthodox Judaism, the cemetery, scholarships, being poor, being a theatre kid) and then to still find a really succinct punch line there.❤
I wonder if in the moment on stage if it’s easier to connect the dots when the crowd gives you a lot of information vs just a few little bits to work with.
Okay I’m only a minute into the video but currently I’m literally the opposite of this person, hopefully (if all goes well) I’ll be studying acting at uni and one of my biggest interests at the moment is literally linguistics 💀
Nice
youre so damn funny. please come back to portland, or next year.
Man, I gotta get on one of these
this economy, ur dead and you still gotta have roomates
Missed opportunity to say, "more like cunnilinguistics scholarship, am I right?"
Me cackling since Thursday I’m marrying my crush from high school chess club 😂 ❤
Was this cemetery in Savannah by any chance? Because that would definitely track
poor is a great word. Accurate etc. And in the Bible.
So glad I came here from the shorts!
can someone please explain the math joke at 3:50
Back in the 16, 17, 1800s, graverobbing and animals digging up bodies was a common issue so it became a rule in many places that bodies must be buried a minimum of six feet deep. This is where the euphemism 'six feet under' meaning 'dead' comes from. If they were stacking bodies, each would be buried shallower than the one before: 5 feet, 4 feet, 3 feet...
The joke is that it's actually a really simple bit and the only math involved is subtracting one. It also doubles as a linguistics joke given the riffing on the 'six feet under' idiom but I don't know if that was intentional.
they put a parking lot on top of my great x3 grandfathers grave
@gianmarco there's no specific Chabad rule for being Jewish. Being gay does not at all rescind one's Jewishness. If however one's mother isn't Jewish (and wasn't converted in accordance with Jewish law) then Jewish law Dems them not Jewish, unrelated to Chabad nor to bring gay.
Hope I cleared a few things up 👍🏻👍🏻
most over buried? we have mass graves in MA - like the Deerfield Massacre. not over a hundred thou (I doubt that's accurate tho) but just a mound of bodies
I got covid just last month.
It did not go away just because we were told to go back to work without any mitigation measures.
The lady you were talking to may be suffering from "long covid" (which happens in about 30% of cases), but she is not going to disclose that after you tell her to reassure people that was in the past..
He reassured the crowd because she said 'I got covid' and the lady behind her thought she meant she currently had covid and was therefore infectious and had a panicked look which Gianmarco saw from his viewpoint. I don't think he was saying that covid as a whole os over or that long covid is not a thing.
I was listening to her and thinking this girl is telling the story of MY life! (minus the cemetery volunteering part). And at the end I thought "no freaking way she's also a lesbian!"
The stain on the front of your pants is making me extremely uncomfortable.
As someone who has stains on most of their clothes, you've made me deeply reevaluate some life choices...
Could someone explain why he had that reaction to the Linguistics scholarship? I'm not American. Also, what was actually the reaction? I can't really tell if it was positive or negative.
His reaction was that it was extremely nerdy, really. Nerds who go into subjects that they're passionate about and also aren't sure how they'll get a career using it, is a pretty big stereotype for Gay and Trans people in America, which was why he "wasn't surprised" that she was also gay.
Overall, his reaction wasn't negative, it's just a mix of surprise and casual making fun of people who are school overachievers. In America, because there's a perception those people do pretty well and are also a little bit weird, it's alright to make fun of them for finding joy in something other people find difficult. It's not negative, but it's good material for a comedian to riff off of and make jokes about.
@@samlee5549 tysm!
Legend says that my favourite stand up comedian will pin my comment ❤
Love your comedy btw
I cannot get over the stains on your pants
of all the years burying 130,000 bodies they didn't think of building a crematory once!?
was cheaper to just keep overstuffing it, from what I understand
WHAT THE FUCK DOES CHABAD MEAN THEY JUST KEEP SAYING IT TO EACH OTHER????????
That woman started off sounding insanely obnoxious then sort of became sympathetic near the end. That’s why we should all be more curious like Gianmarco here and less judgmental like me.
Yeah, no, not obnoxious at all.
@@EdwardLindon a little obnoxious. She did the smart kid thing where she kept underselling her accomplishments, which gives that "im better than you but don't want to rub your face in it" vibe.
I'm sure people would think confidently listing out highschool achievements like everyone should be impressed would sound obnoxious too. I think it's pretty normal to want to downplay stuff like that.
@@anthonyskrzypczak9437 It's embarrassing to talk about high school when you're an adult. I'd undersell those accomplishments too, don't want people to think I'm stuck living through old glories.
@@anthonyskrzypczak9437well i wouldn’t want to come across as holier than thou so i’d want to downplay my accomplishments to avoid sounding like i’m bragging. ig it doesn’t matter whether you undersell or oversell, there’s no way of escaping sounding obnoxious
I buried my dead guinea pig 4 inches deep in an old tie dye t-shirt…. When I returned a year later to bury my other guinea pig, I saw the t-shirt had been unearthed… I guess some wildlife had gone for her body…
People didn't get the linguistic joke after she admitted to being gay
3:48 What was the joke?
Back in the 16, 17, 1800s, graverobbing and animals digging up bodies was a common issue so it became a rule in many places that bodies must be buried a minimum of six feet deep. This is where the euphemism 'six feet under' meaning 'dead' comes from. If they were stacking bodies, each would be buried shallower than the one before: 5 feet, 4 feet, 3 feet...

That lady actually gave out a lot of disturbing info.
What
What
What
And I enjoyed every bit of it! I think.
These stories are interesting but I hate the way she tells them. The attitude she has is grading.
gianmarco i can assure you the reason they didnt laugh at the "5 foot under, 4 foot under" joke is not that it was too math intensive to understand. nothing makes you look more desperate then "nobody laughed at my joke so that must mean they dont know how to count, im gonna make a joke about that."
same thing with that old jewtwo joke you did the same thing with. mewtwo is one of the most recognizable pokemon after pikachu and the gen 1 starters and pokemon is the biggest multimedia franchise on earth. i can absolutely guarantee that one failed because you delivered it really awkwardly.
Wow, you are really boring, huh?
It's borderline unbelievable that anyone whose cognitive functioning patterns are neurotypical would be so utterly incompetent at reading social cues and unable to restrain themselves from making it abundantly clear in a public forum... Gianmarco was SO obviously exaggerating that it makes me cringe with second-hand embarrassment to think you actually typed and posted that comment.
@@Grave_of_the_Sea :)
I agree that did make him look kinda desperate lol
Zionists in comments be like….
