About

Sebastian Maniscalco is the undisputed king of physical comedy, hailed by The New York Times as the "hottest comic in America." During his latest tour, he conquered New York City by selling out Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, UBS Arena, and Prudential Center. With his two shows at Chicago's United Center, Maniscalco is now the highest-grossing comedian in the venue's three-decade history. This is just the latest in a string of record-breaking arena shows across the country that earned him the top spot on Pollstar's Top Comedy Tours list.

Maniscalco's success in comedy is only matched by his prowess on the silver screen. He's currently starring alongside a star-studded cast in the animated feature film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, portraying legendary producer Giorgio Moroder in the Neil Bogart biopic Spinning Gold, and appearing in the dramedy Somewhere in Queens with Ray Romano and Laurie Metcalf. He's also co-written and starred in About My Father, a Lionsgate production loosely based on his Italian family experience, alongside Robert De Niro in his first role as a leading man.

But Maniscalco isn't slowing down anytime soon. He's just wrapped up filming his new series, "How To Be A Bookie," co-produced by Maniscalco and legendary director, writer, and producer Chuck Lorre for MAX. The show follows a veteran bookie navigating the impending legalization of sports gambling and the evolving culture that bounces him around Los Angeles.

Maniscalco's success hasn't come overnight. Over his 20-plus year career, he's built a loyal fan base through hard work, dedication, and one hilarious joke at a time. His six comedy specials, for Netflix, Showtime, and Comedy Central, have been hugely popular, with his newest special, "Sebastian Maniscalco: Is it Me?" filmed during his residency at the Wynn Las Vegas, premiered globally on Netflix in December 2022.

The comedian has been on a roll in recent years, with a string of movie roles, producing gigs, and arena shows that have shattered records. Notable highlights in his career include the publication of his best-selling memoir "Stay Hungry," a role in the Academy Awards' Best Picture Green Book, and a starring role alongside acting legends Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated film The Irishman.

"When I first started doing comedy, I never thought about doing arenas," Maniscalco said. "But over 20-plus years of hitting the pavement and taking pictures with people, I developed a very loyal fan base. A couple would come to a show, then they'd come back and bring their family or their neighbors, and it just kinda swelled. Now you have limo buses pulling up to the shows--it's just mind-boggling."

His success has earned him the praise of his peers, with Jerry Seinfeld calling him his "favorite comedian," and People dubbing him a "comedian's comedian." Maniscalco has also expanded into podcasts, teaming up with fellow comedian Pete Correale for "The Pete and Sebastian Show," where the two get together once a week to hash out the highs and lows of life. And he recently launched the hilarious new podcast "Daddy vs. Doctor" with his children's pediatrician, Dr. Scott Cohen, which finds the two talking weekly with parents from around the world and shedding light on raising a family.

"I'm able to take on projects I'm passionate about, just do really quality stuff--I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can really calculate what I'm doing and not spread myself too thin," he said. "The goal is not to be the next Denzel Washington, but to have some fun and be creative in another realm."

Maniscalco's success is a testament to his perseverance and hustle, which started when he moved to Los Angeles in 1998 and quickly became a favorite at the legendary Comedy Store. He's been a voice in "the vanguard of a live comedy revolution," according to Pollstar, and has been named Comedian of the Year by both Billboard and Pollstar. With his tireless work ethic and undeniable talent, it's safe to say that Maniscalco will continue to be a fixture in comedy and entertainment for years to come.

    What a wonderful evening with Sebastian. All I needed was a drink. Laughter, bringing your own experiences to mind and settling those hecklers. Job well done!

    Sebastian is one of the funniest comedians I’ve seen in a very long time. Being Italian, I can relate to the jokes and mannerisms. He is brilliant !

    I Don’t Do Dat!

    by Princess on 2022-09-05The Avalon Theatre At Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort - Niagara Falls

    I came across this talented guy years ago on YouTube and have been following him ever since. His videos sure helped through Covid and I can watch them over and over again. My partner surprised me with tickets when I was in the hospital and we went last week. We never stopped laughing through his whole show. We left with aching stomachs and big smiles on our faces. I am so ever grateful and feel very fortunate that I got to see my very favourite stand-up comedian on stage eight rows from the stage. I didn’t even have to use the monitors to see his fabulous expressions! Sebastian’s the King of Comedy in my opinion!

    Fantastic show, intimate setting

    by Carol on 2022-09-04The Avalon Theatre At Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort - Niagara Falls

    Went to the show with my three siblings as we are all huge fans of Sevastian. I must say, he did not disappoint. It was full blown belly laughter from start to finish. The venue was great, a bit small but made the show feel intimate. Disappointed a bit they did not serve soft drinks at the venue. Only water and alcohol. Not a huge deal but would have loved to have the option to buy a pop.

    LOVE THIS GUY!

    by Bon on 2022-09-04The Avalon Theatre At Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort - Niagara Falls

    Sebastian is hilarious! He’s so animated along with his facial expressions, can’t stop laughing! His ongoing issues with people are so relatable, he seems to find the humour in everything and everyone he encounters. Can’t wait to see him again! Great show!

    not the Sebastian we were expecting

    by a little disappointed but still a fan on 2022-06-24Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    My husband and I and my sister flew from Ontario to British Colombia to see Sebastian. We have seen him many times before and love his humour but I think his style has changed. His physicality and intensity that we love so much and have come to expect from his performances was not there in his Vancouver performance. Maybe it was because we saw the 2nd show of the night and maybe he was tired or maybe this is the "new" Sebastian. His part was approximately 1 hour and it was simply too short. That being said, we still had a few good laughs and would still see him again but we would not fly across the country to see him again and I would not expect to laugh as much as I usually do when I see him. His age could also be a factor in his less energetic performances. We still love you Sebastian!

    As hilarious as you would expect!

    by K. S. on 2022-05-29Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    He had a fun pre-show experience (Sebastian-cam), and great opener. The rest was stand-up at it's finest - Sebastian is at the top of his game! We were in stitches the entire time.

    I laughed so hard I cried my makeup off

    by TonTon on 2022-05-27Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Wow. From the second he walked out I couldn't stop laughing. My cheeks hurt, my makeup a thing of the past as I cried it off laughing so hard. His jokes, his facial expressions, his actions. The connection of Italian to Italian made me feel not so alone in this crazy world. My husband elbowing me over and over, saying That's just like you! or That's exactly like your family! It felt good to laugh again and be out. It meant so much his heartfelt ending. And the beginning of the show with all the cam shots of the audience was hilarious! Absolutely best comedy show I have ever been to.

    The longest lineup ever!

    by Lola on 2022-05-25Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Second show waited in a lineup for at least ½ hr to get in. Why? The screens were really great and allowed us to catch his signature expressions!

    sound was terrible

    by Van 113 on 2022-05-25Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Making fun of Vancouver’s homeless referencing “tent living“ was obnoxious. Worse was racist terms used in jest when this country just acknowledged the one year anniversary of the Kamloops residential tragedy. He owes the city an apology.

    Rollicking Fun - Sound at QET Sucked

    by Mike Oxislong on 2022-05-25Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    SOUND SYSTEM AT THE QET SUCKED!!!! Not sure if this is the venue's fault or the performer's. Sebastian was very animated and clearly read up about Vancouver before delivering his performance. He was hilarious.
