In this episode of Blocks, Neal Brennan sits down with comedian
Gianmarco Soresi to discuss the unconventional path that led him to
standup. They dive into his childhood experiences with divorce, his
short-lived dreams of becoming a professional singer and actor, and
the deep-seated desire for "glory" that keeps him on stage.
Gianmarco also opens up about his relationship with his parents,
his thoughts on depression and Adderall, and how he’s learning to
find balance between his workaholic nature and his personal life.
