The Mitch Churi Chat Show
Gianmarco Soresi chats Tall Poppy Syndrome, the future of Late Night & why he hates AI
Mitch sits down with viral US comic Gianmarco Soresi to talk tall poppy syndrome, the pivot from "broke" to “cheap”, and what it’s really like hustling your way from dingy comedy condos to sold-out international tours. They spiral into Epstein Files, Trump and the ethics of AI. They also delve into late-night TV dying, theatre-kid trauma, and Gianmarco’s very specific relationship with gay culture (“gay ethnically, not sexually”). Plus: why his Aussie fans might convince him to move Down Under… and the now-iconic Sydney Opera House “show hole” promise.
