    Taylor Tomlinson popped up on my feeds and it’s a fresh breath. Gianmarco Soresi did as well, but I doubt I’ll watch his special

    Taylor’s, though, I’d go see that live, and I’m not somebody to go to comedy clubs

      I really like both. Gianmarco has exploded into my recommendations recently and I love every second.

      I’ve seen her live. She’s great, and worth it. She’s funny with both her rehearsed material and her crowdwork.

        I think I could prepare a damned funny show, but no way could I ad lib like Tomlinson. Sometimes, when the mood hits, I can run with it, but she’s consistently on the ball.

        I don’t think I’ve seen any clips that I haven’t laughed at. maybe a few that didn’t hit hard, but whoever is doing her media, they’re picking great stuff. and lots of it really gets me good, she’s just a great act

          I’m a big fan. Seen all her specials and saw her live this year. She is a big talent. I’m happy for her. In other words, I don’t think it’s that good bits are being promoted, they’re all good bits.
