Gianmarco Soresi’s “The Leaning In Tour” was announced today, spanning the rest of 2023 with 75 shows booked in 24 cities across the U.S. and Europe, including Los Angeles sold out shows, Chicago, DC and Pittsburgh, as well as a European tour with half of the shows already sold out. In addition, Soresi continues his celebrated recurring show in NYC, The Silver Lining, and live podcast recordings of The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi with co-host Russell Daniels and special guests. Said Soresi, “I’m excited to put on shows that I’m proud of before I pivot my career into hosting a Family Feud spin-off on whatever new Android-only mobile app that will file for bankruptcy in two days.”

“The Leaning In Tour,” titled after his signature “Soresi Lean” stance, is announced on the heels of a resoundingly successful year at Just For Laughs Montreal for Soresi where he performed 10 ‘Just For The Culture’ shows with Judy Gold, Alonzo Bodden, Zarna Garg and Joyelle Nicole Johnson, two sold-out headlining shows and a live taping of his podcast, The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi featuring guest Joel Kim Booster. Last year, Soresi turned heads with his set at the JFL New Faces showcase, and this year saw him return with increasingly prominent bookings in some of the most renowned theaters in Montreal.

The Silver Lining shows have been gaining popularity and selling out regularly. Soresi uses these recurring NYC shows to explore new topics and as he says, “try wording some riskier jokes that will one day get me fired from something that actually pays money, and to talk to the audience about stuff more interesting than what they do for work like, ‘how did your parents tell you about the divorce?’” He also gets to book two of his favorite comics each show to come in and in his words, “save the evening when my crowd work fails spectacularly.”

Elaborating on the title of the tour, Soresi explains, “not everyone can tell from my social media clips, but I’m 6 '4” so I often feel the need to lean down to connect with a particular audience member (or just to stretch out my lower back honestly). Someone on YouTube dubbed this the “Soresi Lean” while another commented the way I bend my knee proves that I’m a homosexual. I corrected him that I’m technically Pliéing my knee.”
