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.

    Too short

    by Kuth on 3/19/24Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Having not seen much of his content, I was loving it, however, we thought that his show was way too short.

    Good, but maybe a bit stale?

    by DD65 on 3/19/24Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    My wife is a huge fan of SM. We've watched all of his specials on TV. We built an entire trip to LV around seeing his show and I paid a lot for 2nd row, centre seats. The opener was SM's podcast pal (forget his name). His routine was also forgettable and very short 15-20 min. SM came on right away and did his routine in his classic style. It was funny, for sure, but we both had a sense of deja vu as the theme/tone/content was very similar to those on his NetFlix specials, though delivered at our show with slightly less enthusiasm. At approximately 55 minutes, SM waved good night and that was that. No bow, no curtain call. Maybe this is standard protocol? I guess we just expected a little more. Still recommend seeing this guy, but not at $750 per seat...

    Fantastic show

    by Sheri on 3/19/24Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    We had the best seats (third row) and both the opener and Sebastian were absolutely awesome! I've seen and heard both on Comedy radio and Netflix, but the live experience exceeded expectations. I will definitely see him again. Come to Hero Arena in Idaho Falls where I live, please?😁

    Very funny - excellent warm up comedian as well

    by Canadian girl on 3/19/24Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Sebastian Maliscalco is hilarious! He has the ability to make every day situations relatable and extremely funny! We did find the first half of his show was funnier than the second part. However, his facial expressions alone, hilarious. The warm-up act was just as funny and at times, maybe even funnier. All in all very good!

    Horrible night

    by Tom Najimy on 3/19/24Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Someone had music playing on their cell phone the entire time we couldn't figure out who and we could not get a hold of an usher. Lady next to me was drunk and kept repeating the jokes and laughing before he even got to the middle of his line. This is the third time I've seen Sebastian and I have to say it was a horrible night overall..show was not :"Sebastian like"
