Touted as “…the hottest comic in America,” by The New York Times, Sebastian Maniscalco, has celebrated heights only a few comedians ever achieve. A string of record-breaking, sold-out arena shows include a comedy record for Chicago’s United Center with 21,286, the highest gross for a single event at Boston’s TD garden and a historic four show run at Madison Square Garden breaking the record for most shows sold in a weekend for the venue. That blockbuster success coupled with Netflix original comedy specials and a starring role alongside Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated The Irishman, it’s no surprise that both Pollstar and Billboard have honored the standup with their top touring awards.
Now after over a year off the road, the man Vulture said, “built a tremendous fan base the old-fashioned way: one joke at a time, one audience at the time," is set to return to the stage with his new Nobody Does This Tour. With so many new experiences to draw from this last year, Maniscalco is eager to bring his comedic perspective to the masses.
“I’ve been unable to share my comedy for over a year,” Maniscalco shares exclusively with Billboard. “I’m busting at the seams to get back out on the road and share my observations about life and family on this brand-new tour!”
Last year, the comic NBC’s Nightly News dubbed, “comedy’s new superstar,” found new ways to connect with fans and flex his comedic muscles including hosting several virtual dinners with friend and chef, Dominick DiBartolomeo. Billed as “Sebastian’s Sunday Supper” the events have offered the ultimate virtual dinner party, filled with amazing food and packed with special guests including Jerry Seinfeld, Lester Holt, J.J. Watt, Christopher Lloyd and Rick Caruso.
The comedian also still managed to notched several career firsts in 2020 including a two-night run guest-hosting ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” In addition to adding late night host to his growing list of hyphenates, Maniscalco also add executive producer with the release of Sebastian Maniscalco presents Pat McGann: When’s Mom Gonna Be Home?
On top of coming to a city near you in 2021 fans will also find the always bothered comedian on their TV exploring the world of food in his own show for Discovery+ to be released later his year.
