Sebastian Maniscalco Headlines the Montalvo Arts Center
On Sunday, August 14th, the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, CA presents the hilarious Sebastian Maniscalco. Sebastian's specialty is saying what we're all thinking, but when he says it, it's a whole lot funnier. Fans across North America show up in droves to see Sebastian's dead-on social commentary on marriage, family and his Italian upbringing. From the moment he takes the stage, his hilarious facial expressions and animated delivery has his audience totally captivated, in the moment and hysterically laughing.
On Friday, July 29th Sebastian will be honored by receiving the prestigious "Stand Up Comedian of the Year" award at this years "Just for Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal.
After nearly a dozen sold-out performances in New York City's comedy circuit in the last year alone, the Chicago-born-and-bred turned Los Angeles native tapped Manhattan as the backdrop for his highly-anticipated new special which was shot at the historic Beacon Theatre in May. The one-hour taping will air on Showtime this fall and is packed with hilarious skepticism that only Sebastian can deliver, selling out 7 shows and over 16,800 tickets.
Due to popular demand Sebastian's second Showtime stand-up special "Aren't You Embarrassed?" is now available streaming on Netflix where millions can tune into see his witheringly sarcastic and exasperated take on modern behavior and etiquette. As the "Dallas Observer" noted, "Much of the material for his three comedy specials and tours comes from his astonishment with modern society's unspoken rules and the juxtaposition of current culture against his upbringing in a hardworking, 'half-Sicilian, half-Italian' immigrant family." Sebastian shares, "Those values ... have been a catalyst for my comedy. I'm like, 'Wow, I guess a lot of people didn't have this type of upbringing' … that old world technique of, you know, nothing's given to you, you've gotta work for everything you've done."
Since then, the 2014 American Comedy Award nominee for Best Club Comedian has established an avid fan following via national late night television appearances on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Late Night with Seth Meyers," "Conan," and more. Sebastian is also a
popular guest on networks such as "Showtime" and "Comedy Central" and the ground-breaking podcast "WTF with Marc Maron" in addition to "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast and starring in his own wildly popular "The Pete and Sebastian Show" podcast every Friday night.
In January, Maniscalco was seen in an episode of "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee" with Jerry Seinfeld. http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/sebastian-maniscalco-i-dont-think-thats-bestiality
Distinguished by "The New York Times" as a comic with his "own kind of panache," Sebastian has taken on everything from selfies that he calls "lonelies" ("Do you know how alone you have to be to have 838 photos of yourself in your bathroom?") to online restaurant reviews ("Who's got the time to write an 18 page essay on asparagus?") to airport check-ins ("I'm taking out a boot…a sock…a toothpaste…does anyone know what two pounds is?").
Still sporting his Chicago accent despite leaving the Windy City in 1998 to follow his dream in Los Angeles, Sebastian began paying his comedy dues by night playing his brand of comedy in bars and bowling alleys while working as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. He eventually broke into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour in support of his one-hour "Comedy Central" DVD Special. Yet, it wasn't until Sebastian captured the attention of award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn who selected him to be one of four featured comedians in the critically acclaimed film "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show" that his comedy career began to explode.
