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.
First time using ticketmaster ..went to see Sebastian Manascalco..PPG in Pittsburgh..excellent show...and definitely user friendly through ticket master...I do not go to many events any more because of the hassle..but I took my girl and from using ticketmaster.to the event I had no problems whatsoever... all around a A + ..thanks again
Hilarious. Laughing and crying at the same show. Observational humor, the best.
Sebastian’s performance was excellent. I laughed from start to finish! Very enjoyable evening!
We were sitting high up in the section but the screens were clear and the sound was great. If you get a chance to see Sebastian maniscalco do it he was great. And the two opening comedians were very good. Fantastic night of comedy!!!
The show had me laughing from start to finish. The opening acts were funny and got the crowd ready for Sebastian. Sebastian came out and from the start had the people of Philadelphia, and the surrounding area, laughing, hollering, and clapping their hands for his great comedic prowess. He performed for over an hour and a half and it was non-stop laughing. One of the best comedy shows We have seen. The only problem I had was the sound was blaring loud for the first two comics and the microphones were not adjusted accordingly and the volume was up way to high which caused echoing and feedback to happen. (I didn't let that issue effect my rating for the show itself).
I love Sebastian! He is so funny! My Mom and I have seen him twice at the Wells Fargo and he just has us laughing the whole time. Loved Pete and Jim as well.
My husband and I loved the show! Both warm up acts were absolutely hysterical also. We are big fans of Sebastian so this was a real treat! Definitely walked out with sore cheeks from smiling and laughing so much. Definitely worth seeing him again. I absolutely loved the stage set up too!
Sebastian Maniscalco is a funny guy! My husband and I saw him several years ago before he “made it big” We loved him then and were so happy to see his success ! And, he is still as funny as ever ! Loved the show !!
Sebastian was hilarious! I also enjoyed the first two comics that opened for him. However the sound was not clear for the first comedian and it was difficult to figure out what he was saying. Sound was better for the second comic.
I was so excited to see Sebastian. We had our tickets for awhile and it was worth the wait. He is just so funny and energetic. His facial expressions and physical comedy are the best in the business. The two opening comedians, Pat and Pete, were also great! I can’t wait to see him again!!!
Great night of comedy! Highlighted by Sebastian Maniscalco. My wife and I were laughing all night!!
I absolutely enjoyed every minute of his show! He is the funniest person! His stories, and actions are hilarious! I will go to every tour he has going forward! His opening acts were also great! Enjoyed the entire evening!
The show started out with 2 opening act comedians prior to the main event. Both gentlemen were very funny with their time in the spotlight. A, for both opening act comedians. The main event S.M. was phenomenal. This guy is a must see at least once in your lifetime. His nonstop stories and especially his delivery is "SPOT ON"!! I had tears in my eyes most of the night and I'm sure I missed a few jokes with being doubled over with laughter. I absolutely loved this guy the first time I ever heard him, and I highly recommend seeing a show whenever he is anywhere near where you live. AA++ for S.M. I just can't say this enough.

The echo in the arena was horrible, one of my group members has hear aids and had to leave because after the first opener because of the feedback. It was just unfortunate considering the amount we paid for these tickets even on the presale. Sebastian was amazing per usual.
Sebastian did not disappoint! He is hilariously relatable. Worth every penny. His opening acts were on point also.
This show was awesome. The openers were hilarious, too. I would 100% go see Sebastian again!
He is the funniest guy. His voice and mannerisms are on point. I was crying laughing the whole time. One of the best shows I’ve been too so far!!
While I really disliked climbing up into the nosebleeds as well as the tight seating (and I have short legs!), the show was fabulous. It was great to laugh for 2 hours!
Had the worst week ever and Friday night’s performance exceeded my expectations tenfold! All night belly laughs and still laughing at now as I write this!! Thanks Sabastian for making our lives happier!!
This man is just so funny. He’s a comedy god! It’s all about delivery and he just has the gift. Haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Definitely recommend and plan on seeing him again!
