“Taped at the Elysian Theatre in Los Angeles over five sold-out shows in February 2025”
Thief of Joy blends Soresi’s signature theatrical flair with deeply personal storytelling. Drawing from his life as a theatre kid turned theatre major, he weaves together intimate anecdotes about his relationship, career, and his parents’ divorce, all delivered in the animated style The New York Times calls “silkily feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation.”
