ORLANDO SHOW

Fantastic show, loved it! My wife knew how much I liked Sebastian’s comedy and surprised me with the tickets and his book for our anniversary. One of the best presents ever! My mother’s side of the family is Italian and much of the material hit home. I look forward to future things from Sebastian. His opener Pete was fantastic as well!

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO MINNEAPOLIS, MN 9/28/18 STATE THEATRE

Sebastian met and exceeded my expectations for a live standup comedic performance. He was in prime form and I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire show. The audience was going crazy for him too. He's definitely got solid fans. Towards the end of this particular show (9:30 pm) the audience was laughing so hard that Sebastian kind of started cracking up too and that only made the audience go even crazier. There was a lot of standing ovations throughout the show, whistling and woohoo-ing. He's got outstanding stage presence like no other comedian I've seen before.

Joy Walsh from San Francisco, California

LOVE SEBASTIAN! FANTASTIC EVENING

Sebastian is not only funny and clever, but his body movements add so much to his stories. Saw him last year at the Winery in Saratoga and enjoyed him then and thought maybe I would see some repeats; no, everything was fresh and completely different. His opening comic was also fantastic. We were a little late so I didn't get his name. Loved both of them

ANOTHER NIGHT LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!

My new favorite comedian. Saw him at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on 4/19. Great time, laughed for 1.5 hours. Opening act, Pat McGann, was terrific too. Can't wait to read his book. As funny as Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Jeni and Gary Gulman. Look forward to next live performance.

Mary Del from Brooklyn, New York

RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

Just saw Sebastian Manascalco at Radio City Music Hall (first of 5 shows , there) ...He was fantastic!!!! The audience could not stop laughing (inclding myself) . My husband and I are huge fans ofSebastian Manascalco (have seen all of his cable specials) , this was the first time seeing him in person . We loved our seats (Orchestra 3 WW seats 305 & 305), had an excellent view. I would say this show is not for young children , maybe 17 and up. I highly recommend seeing this show , if someone is planning a night in New York.

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO - ROSEMONT THEATER 3/9/18

Great show, wonderful story teller and he does an excellent job animating the story with his facial and body movements (thats a show in itself). Sort of surprised the hometown audience there Friday night was not more 'energized' but we thoroughly - will go see him again when he is in town. Love the Italian family stories...can relate.....

Cat from Toronto, Ontario

WONDERFUL SHOW

Love his Comedic style, great physicality. Toronto loves You! And I believe you are right Sebastian! All of Woodbridge was there last night! Beautiful baby girl! Lovely wife..you are obviously a proud family man.

Big Fan A from Washington, District of Columbia

MGM NATIONAL HARBOR 2/2018 PERFORMANCE

He is the best! All new material. His personal experience with his baby was ok but laughs were not as strong in the audience. But everything else was outstanding! Original but with his famous entertaining body language and nostalgic story telling that takes you back. Can’t wait to buy his new book. Also, can’t wait for him to come back to watch him again and again!

Kathy from Oshawa , Ontario

SEBASTIEN

Went to see Sebastien in Toronto last night and it was no disappointment this guy is halarious his facial expressions are the best I've ever seen!! He had everyone in stiches,, the Air Canada Centre was full 20 thousand people it was quite the site to see, he himself said that he was overwhelmed with the turnout, frankly I'm not surprised he is that good!! Everyone should go see this halarious man At the end of the show he brought out his wife and adorable new 10 month old baby girl it was touching to see him with her. If you get a chance to see this comedian go!! It truly is the best show I've ever seen

from Rochester, New York

THE MICHELANGELO OF COMEDY AND A CLASS ACT!

My wife and I attended Sebastian's Rochester Auditorium Theater show Thursday night. As he worked his way through a bit about dating he turned to the front rows of the audience and, to paraphrase, inquired, "What do you call making out these days." In response, a young woman in her highest attainable volume shouted "FUCKING". Sebastian did not acknowledgement her remark. He pursued the question and moved forward after another member of the audience responded, "Hooking up." I surmised that at that moment, Sebastian is thinking about his 9 month old baby girl and telling himself, "That's not my daughter 23 years from now!"

HUNGER

Kathy from Cleveland, Ohio

SEBASTIAN RETURNS TO CLEVELAND

went to see Sebastian at the Conner theater in Cleveland this past weekend....although I love his longer gigs better...he was still amazingly funny...spent over a hour on stage and the seats were phenomenal as well as the choice of restaurants all around the theater location...love to see him every year instead of every two years. all in all I give his show fives starts..and the comedian who was on stage before him was very funny also...love non crude comedians...

Ginny from Cleveland, Ohio

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO IN CLEVELAND JANUARY 27 8:00 PM SHOW

The show was fantastic.Sebastians material is so original and I can definitely relate to his jokes. He is so animated ! I was laughing from the minute , he started talking about having to come downtown, let alone on a Sunday and at night. I had tears running down my face by the end of his show. Can’t say enough about him, just go see him if he comes to your hometown

from New Jersey

SEBASTIAN WAS HILARIOUS

My Boyfriend and I went to see him for the first time he was good looking forward to seeing him again

GINO DEAGOSTINO from TROY, MICHIGAN

SEBASTIAN IS ANIMATED

BEING OF ITALIAN ANCESTRY HIS HUMOR HITS HOME WITH ME.HE IS RIGHT ON WITH THE ITALIAN FAMILY DYNAMICS. THERE IS A LOT OF HUMOR IN OUR WAY OF LIVING. ESPECIALLY WITH FOOD AND HAND GESTURES. SEBASTIAN HAS TRULY CAPTURED ALL OF THAT. HE IS VERSATILE AND CAN SWITCH TO OTHER AREAS OF HUMOR QUICKLY. YOU WON'T BE BORED AT HIS PERFORMANCES. I WISH HIM GREAT SUCCESS.

Randi from Indianapolis, Indiana

MANISCALCO TAKES INDY

I have never laughed so thoroughly and so hard!! Being Jewish/italian myself - I could relate to every joke between his wife’s family and his own - he’s ability to tell stories in the most comedic way is uncanny and was a total trip to experience first hand! This guys is my hero!! Thank you for a fantastic night of comedy gold and constantly laughing until my belly ached, my face hurt and my eyes watered!

Jim Brown from Syracuse, New York

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO IN SYRACUSE

Sebastian Maniscalco did not disappoint! His material is excellent, his delivery is spot on and he is so Animated we almost wet our pants laughing so hard. Great Comic! Worth every penny !

Sarah Ebner from Chicago, Illinois

FUNNY, FUNNY MAN.

Sebastian Maniscalco is very funny. Attended the March 9, 8 pm show at Rosemont Theater. His portion of the show was one hour, which was too short considering I paid $500 for three tickets and sat in row A with a three foot wall in front of me. I also had seen some of the material on Netflix and Showtime. That was disappointing. Could have stayed home and watched three of his shows for $3 with no obstruction to viewing. Live and learn. He is very talented and hysterically funny, however.

Natalie from Columbus, Ohio

FUNNY GUY

Love his animation and makes me laugh so hard. His keen perception of the human race is spot on. Show kind of short. Still love him.

Drew from Tampa, Florida

ALMOST GREAT-TAMPA-STRAZ

First...my wife and I consider him the funniest guy on earth. This was our 4th time seeing Sebastian live and the first 3 time were 5 stars plus. Not sure but it seemed Sebastian was a little off...happens to the best of them. Oh well. His description of the 1st birthday party for his daughter with the alpaca was hilarious!

Karl Knaebel from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

SEBESTIAN MANISCALO

Great show. Kept you laughing . Typical Sebastian humor. Not disappointed. My only concern was that he did not premise his Jewish jokes to qualifing them with a Tree of Life understanding. He was in Pittsburgh and possibly could of recognized that in the routinee as a caveat.

John Tarney from San Diego, California

STAY HUNGRY SEEMED AN APPROPRIATE TITLE.

His schtick is sill pointing out the shortcomings of others including himself; his appearance on stage is priceless; ant, his physical gestures are one of a kind. This show was comfort food in that a lof of familiar themes were made fodder: his wife's family which is a Jackie Mason bit; his father which never gets old, et. etc. I thought when he began interacting with the audience it acually picked the show up.I would have enjoyed a bit more about his relatives rather than his wifes. In contrast to Seinfeld last week, Sebastian was a notch below, but that may have had more to do with the incredibly uncomortable seats Humphreys continues to use. Up your game Humphreys. I paid over $450 for my two seats and an hour in, my back was killing me. Your chairs are outdated and painful. what kills me is you know this and continue to ignore the issue. Cell phone texting distracts - ban texting or calling during performances? Chairs have got to go - up your game manangment.

Rosie and 20 guests from Chicago, Illinois

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO CHICAGO THEATER 11/27/16

Excellent performance. Disappointed on time he spent on stage. One hour is to short for price of tickets. He needs to perform longer each show..I'll watch him on showtime much cheaper.

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida

AMUSING BUT NOT SUPER FUNNY.

I understand that comedy is big time subjective. My wife and I had watched YouTube videos of Maniscalso. Unfortunately those YouTube clips were "The best of". I did not find him funny at all. Yes there was a brief second that evoked a smile from me but not the kind of laughter that makes your abs hurt. The worst part of any comedy act is the one person who starts to laugh out load the second the comedian walks on stage. Forget about when he opens his mouth. You would think she's about ready to have a heart attach she is laughing so hard. At what?? who knows. It was not just me. I looked around me at the people in section 112 and very few were laughing out loud. Another con is that you are basically watching the show on a massive t/v screen because the person on stage is barley visible especially if you want to see his facial expressions.

Mike C. from Boston, Massachusetts

STAY HUNGRY, NOT SO MUCH

Have seen Sebastian on 3 other occasions. His latest material on the Stay Hungry tour is not his best. Shows 4-5 years ago were much much better. Maybe next time.

Sil viola from Toronto, Ontario

NOT HIS BEST

The review from Josh Nelson from San Diego could have been written word for word about Maniscalco's show in Toronto. I also have noticed him somewhat tired, and some of his material was recycled from previous shows. The fact that he picked on some of the front row spectators was also something out of character for him this time. Although Sebastian is still a funny guy, one feels that he relies too much on his past success and risks taking his audiences for granted. I feel that the reviewers giving 5 stars to his Toronto are reluctant to admit that they spent an average of $200 for below par performance.

Jerry Aldeeny from Tampa, Florida

CAN'T WIN EM ALL

Let me start by saying Sebastian is one of the funniest/original guys out right now. Unfortunately, our recent night at the Straz...we didn't get that guy. It could of been recovery mode from the previous nights show in Sunrise (friends said he had them crying... the good kind) or it could have been him pacing for the next show. Two shows in one night.... Hard for anyone to give 100% on each.

Josh Nelson from San Diego, California

SOLID; BUT ON AUTOPILOT

Sebastian is one of my all time favs. I knew when he came out in wrinkled jeans, not looking sharp it was "just another stop on the tour". Perhaps this is a bit unfair...I'm comparing the show to the polished Netflix specials. Solid Sebastian bits; what he talked about simply wasn't interesting to me, hence the stories were not as impactful as in the past. Perhaps, I'm just too familiar with his schtick... He never came to telling us why he was setting up a story about an Asian guy (he said, when the story is over, you're going to understand why I'm zeroing in on the Asian guy). This exemplified a show that just seemed to wander, and wander... The crowd loved it; at $500 all in for the show and food I could have sat on the sidewalk, outside the arena for free (now the bit he did on the people sitting on the sidewalk for free, was funny...)
