Giulio Gallarotti

Comedian Giulio Gallarotti joins the show for a fast, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation. He talks with Jonathan about his unconventional path into comedy—including the surreal experience of performing original characters for Alec Baldwin at a private lunch—as well as the origin and evolution of OOPS The Podcast. Giulio shares what it was like to build the show with Francis Ellis, then keep it alive after Francis left, including one hilarious attempt to retain a sponsor by cold-visiting their office, then being gaslit. Later, he gives Jonathan advice on how to get out of singing (solo and a capella) at an office holiday party, then they wrap it up with a spirited draft of ‘90s one-hit wonders. Giulio thinks the lyrics to Mmmbop! are perfectly understandable, while Jonathan thinks they sound like utter gibberish...who's right??
