BIOGRAPHy

Sebastian Maniscalco
Sebastian Maniscalco has solidified his position as the  king of physical comedy, earning accolades from The New York Times as the “hottest comic in America.” With over two decades of experience, he has cultivated a massive, loyal fanbase. His recent ‘It Ain’t Right’ tour saw him take New York City by storm, where he set records with five consecutive sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. Continuing to push boundaries, Maniscalco has ongoing residencies at the Borgata  in Atlantic City and the Encore Theatre at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Additionally, he has six specials across major networks, including Netflix, Showtime, and Comedy Central. Maniscalco’s comedic prowess extends far beyond the stand-up stage, seamlessly translating his talents into film, television, and podcasting. His series, Bookie, premiered on Max in November 2023. On the big screen, Maniscalco appears in a range of projects including the comedy-drama Unfrosted, written, produced, and directed by Jerry Seinfeld; the animated hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie; and the dramedy Somewhere in Queens with Ray Romano and Laurie Metcalf. In 2023, he marked his first leading role by co-writing and starring in About My Father, loosely based on his Italian family experience, alongside Robert De Niro. Additionally, Maniscalco has appeared in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and Peter Farrelly’s Oscar-winning Green Book. Maniscalco is also an author of the national best-selling memoir, “Stay Hungry.”   Maniscalco’s success is a testament to his perseverance and hustle – 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.
