Let’s face it: in our increasingly tepid, polite and politically correct culture we need more people like Sebastian Maniscalco. Forever able to seize the moment, always telling it like it is, this is one man who isn’t afraid to put it all out there. Yes, the Chicago-area born, Italian-immigrant-raised comedian behind wildly successful network specials including Sebastian Maniscalco: Why Would You Do That?, What’s Wrong With People?, and Aren’t You Embarrassed? is that little voice within all our heads. The one we are too timid to unleash. Maniscalco is bearing the burden of our bizarre and head-scratching modern-day world. You can thank him later. Sebastian has appeared on Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, late-night shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and Conan. Maniscalco now sits as one of the premier stand-up comedians. In addition to his role in Marin Scorsese’s Irishman, Maniscalco broke a record for one of the highest paid comedians last year. Between his sold-out shows, his memoir, Stay Hungry and national Stay Hungrytours, Maniscalco is a comedian to watch. Maniscalco has made several major motion picture appearances—most notably, a voice-over role as Johnny The Groundhog in the animated feature Nut Job 2; a role in the New Line Feature comedy The House starring Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler. He will next be seen on screen in TAG, alongside Ed Helms and Jeremy Renner.
