Sam Nicoresti: Self-Expression, Identity & the Hunt for the Perfect Skirt Suit 🎙️ Episode Overview In this introspective and fun-filled episode, Steve Otis Gunn sits down with comedian and writer Sam Nicoresti for a conversation that winds its way through comedy, culture, and surreal nostalgia. Known for their clever, genre-bending comedy and a flair for philosophical riffs, Sam brings nuance and wit to everything from trans politics to the demise of Blockbuster, weaving personal experience with cultural critique in a way that’s as thought-provoking as it is hilarious. From probing selfhood and societal labels to skewering podcast culture, Sam shows how comedy is the sharpest tool for exploring—and exploding—identity. Subjects include: What makes a “special” special How HMV pivoted away from physical media and adapted to the digital age Why true crime is the new voyeurism, and podcasts might well be to blame The constraints of class and the claustrophobic architecture of social housing Why something as simple as needing the loo can become a gendered battleground An amusing and surprising listen, this episode is a must for fans of stand-up comedy, social commentary, and anyone curious about how comedy reflects the oddities of modern life. 🎭 About Sam Nicoresti Sam Nicoresti is a British comedian, writer, and performer blending surrealism, satire, and political commentary in their stand-up and filmed work.
