What Not To Wear: India Edition 🇮🇳🤣 | Gianmarco Soresi | Stand Up Comedy Crowd Work
Gianmarco Soresi has brought notes to his Mumbai set. Their instruction is simple: don't talk about politics or religion. His outfit, however, turns out to be perfectly available for discussion.
When he asks about the stereotype of an American visiting India, an audience member replies, "You're wearing the stereotype." It's the opening exchange in his fast-starting "What Not To Wear" crowd-work Short, which has drawn nearly 470,000 views in its first 19 hours, already more than five times his usual full first-day audience for Shorts.
The wardrobe conversation soon becomes a case of mistaken Gandhis. Someone says he resembles Rahul Gandhi; Soresi instead sits cross-legged, imitating Mahatma Gandhi. The audience corrects him, leaving the comedian to work through the discovery onstage.
Viewers are discussing that surname confusion, with one comparing it to hearing Washington and thinking George rather than Denzel. Others focus on the audience member who calls Soresi adorable, an unusually tender interruption for a stand-up set.
Soresi accepts that one with a thank-you. After the crowd's assessment of his clothes, it's a small reprieve.
