Sam Nicoresti: Self-Expression, Identity and the Hunt for the Perfect Skirt Suit

Season 4 Episode 5 Published 1 year ago
Description

Sam Nicoresti can move from the decline of Blockbuster to the philosophy of gendered spaces to the ethics of true crime podcasts in a single breath — and makes it all feel completely connected.

Sam Nicoresti is a British comedian, writer, and performer blending surrealism, satire, and political commentary in their stand-up and filmed work. Their recent filmed special, drawn from their Edinburgh Fringe show, has been hailed as a smart, subversive take on gender, media, and millennial weirdness.

  • What makes a comedy special, actually special — and why most of them aren't
  • How HMV's pivot away from physical media became a metaphor for something much larger
  • Why true crime podcasts are the new voyeurism — and what that says about all of us
  • The class constraints that shape which comedians get to tell which stories
