American comedian Gianmarco Soresi is bringing his ‘Drama King’ tour to Manchester this Spring, sparking speculation about whether the rising comedy star might be eyeing the city as a potential new home base.
Soresi, who boasts over 1 million YouTube subscribers and substantial followings across other social media platforms, will perform at Manchester’s Stoller Hall on Tuesday 3rd June as part of his UK tour.
What has fans talking is Soresi’s candid comment about his British connections. “My girlfriend is a British citizen, so this whole tour is more of an exploration of our options post-America,” the comedian revealed, suggesting the tour might be doubling as a scouting mission for potential relocation.
While Soresi hasn’t explicitly mentioned Manchester as his preferred destination, comedy insiders note the city’s thriving arts scene and more affordable living costs compared to London could make it an attractive option for the performer.
Recently named in both Deadline’s “Comedians Ready to Break Out in 2025” and Vulture’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know” lists, Soresi has just completed filming his first comedy special in Los Angeles. However, his comments hint at potentially seeking new creative horizons across the Atlantic.
His comedy style blends personal anecdotes about his recent ADHD diagnosis, relationship dynamics, and observations on American politics—typically finding ways to connect everything back to his parents’ divorce.
Soresi’s previous ‘Leaning In’ tour included performances across the US, Australia and Europe. His television credits include The Late Late Show with James Corden and Comedy Central, and he was selected as a Just For Laughs New Face in 2022.
Whether Manchester becomes Soresi’s new home remains to be seen, but local comedy fans have the chance to welcome him to the city when his tour stops in Manchester this June.
