I do stand-up sometimes. More often nowadays. I used to think it was crap, but now that I’m better at it I think it’s okay.

Solo Shows

UFO 2019-2021

“Space travelling ping-pong balls, water bottle astronaut suits and smuggled voice recordings of a drug dealer’s holiday plans; you are unlikely to forget Sam Nicoresti’s debut solo show UFO in a hurry.”

James McColl, The Skinny

A theatrical stand-up show about the 8 dimensions of the cosmic god consciousness, ping-pong ball connectivity, and my great-great uncle. UFO transferred to Soho Theatre in September 2021 for a two-night run.

They make a poster for you, but I like to make my own stuff, y’know?

“Nicoresti is an auteur.”

Si Hawkins, Fest

I did some nice promo for it, including a Perfect Playlist and a First Gig, Worst Gig.

The original Edinburgh Fringe 2019 poster was designed by Lise Richardson.

BEDTIME 2017-2018

A dream-scape comedy show about night terrors, oranges and maroon men.

Credit to the mighty zine illustrator of alternative weirdness, Lise Richardson.

“All praise to the pilot, then, who is pulling off something so undeniably phantastic, & so thoroughly enjoyable.”

The Mumble

Wilbur Bilb 2016

Half an hour of very fresh character comedy about a child gumshoe. Can’t remember anything else about it as I’ve since deleted the word doc. But I’d take a punt and say it had its moments.

Back.
