Gianmarco Soresi waited five minutes in Zoom purgatory to talk to John about Gianmarco's latest special, 'Thief of Joy,' which is available on YouTube.
Soresi discusses the technical difficulties experienced during the setup of the interview and the decision-making process behind releasing his special on YouTube instead of other platforms. He explains how this choice allows him full control over the timing and distribution of his material. GS emphasizes the importance of adapting his content for various social media platforms to reach different audiences. He also reflects on the evolution of his joke-writing, balancing between fast-paced comedy club material and more nuanced storytelling.
The conversation touches on the challenges of releasing a special in a constantly changing news cycle and handling topical material.
