For Every Situation​​​
"Giulia Rozzi is the smart friend everyone needs in their lives. An intelligent, perceptive mind that’s almost painfully aware of the foibles bound up in modern day living, Rozzi spins that awareness into an amusing perspective.It seems like only a matter of time before one of the major video streaming services (Netflix, cough cough) gives her a one-hour standup special." - Paste Magazine
"Giulia Rozzi is a true comedic factotum — a jack of all trades — who has a well-developed talent, crucial in comedy, for making virtually any story extremely relatable. But beyond being merely relatable, Rozzi's humor is often deeply cathartic." - Vulture
​
"A sharp wit and a captivating delivery." - The Laugh Button
​
"A mix of a 7-year-old child and 70-year-old dad"- The Washington Post

Directing & Coaching
​​​​​​​​​I've always had a deep passion for getting people to open up, self-reflect and laugh at how beautifully f*cked up we all are. I used to want to be a therapist but when I discovered how cathartic comedy can be, I shifted my focus not only to performing but to helping others express themselves.
​
Over the past 15 years I've worked with hundreds of people, both comedy pros and newbies, to tell their stories in personal, hilarious and often healing ways. I've worked as a director and creative consultant on solo shows such as Jamie Lee's My Friend Katy, Christi Somer's It's Christi Bitch and Lizzy Cooperman's Let Me Know If You Need Anything. I've coached individuals for solo performances and have taught group comedic storytelling workshops at corporate events and comedy theatres. I also co-created the long-running storytelling show Stripped Stories and co-produced the nationally beloved show Mortified, both of which involved me working with guests on their very personal performances.

"My show is a really tough tone to strike, and I had never done an hour of stand up with a strong “one woman show” narrative wedged into. Working with Giulia helped so much. She created a safe place to discuss possibilities, without judgement, but with a ton of encouragement, positivity and tons of knowledge from her own solo show experiences." -Jamie Lee, comedian My Friend Katy & executive producer on Ted Lasso
"Working with Giulia was a game-changer for our team. Her coaching sessions were not only fun and energizing, but also helped us build trust, improve communication, and think more creatively together. She brings humor, heart, and serious skill to every room she’s in."
-Italia Carmona chief of Staff, Levity Live & The Improv
"Giulia will help you usher an experience from murkiest parts of your brain out onto an actual stage. She has an innate sense of story, and knows how to draw out its essence. I came to her with a flurry of papers, days before a performance, and she worked with me until I felt a sense of confidence and coherence. Her work is informed by her own experience as a talented writer and performer, so empathy, insight, and connection are always at the forefront. It was cathartic to share what had previously felt impossible, and it wouldn't have happened without her guidance. Giulia will coach you into clarity!" -Lizzy Cooperman comedian, Let Me Know If You Need Anything and host of In Your Hands
"Giulia is so down to earth, helpful and genuinely fun to work with! She brings practical, relatable guidance from an amazing range of experience in writing, performing and producing."
-Kevin Allison founder of The Story Studio & host of Risk!
"From the very first session, Giulia created a space that felt safe, supportive, and energizing. She has this incredible ability to listen deeply—not just to your words, but to what you mean—and then reflect it back with clarity, honesty, and humor. She helped me untangle the chaos of my ideas and guided me in finding the emotional truth of my story. Giulia didn’t just help me make the show better—she helped me believe in the show, and in myself as an artist. Thanks to Giulia, I not only have a show I’m proud of—I have a deeper understanding of my voice, my story, and my worth as a performer." -Christi Somers comedian It's Christi Bitch & founder of LaughtHer Collective
"With her guidance Giulia has given me the confidence to actually believe that I could get up in front of a room full of strangers and tell a story." -Craig, first time performer and locksmith
