Sebastian Maniscalco was hilarious from start to finish. The way he managed the crowd and those audience members shouting out was hysterical, quieted them down in a fun way.

He is sensational; the best and we just collapsed into hysterics…..don’t miss his shows!!!! Killer!

STOP WHINING

Reading these reviews some of you people need to go to a play not a comedy show. To be funny a comedian needs to live on the edge…and Sebastian does that perfectly. Hilarious.

5.0 star rating Barbara Aguiar from Dartmouth , Ma.

COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!

He was soooo funny, our stomachs literally hurt from laughing so much. Just his mannerisms alone and also had a Sebastion Face Cam before show started for the audience to make their best Sebastian face . Just a great great time, would definitely see him agan. Everything he says is so relatable and funny. Saw him past weekend at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.

BEST SHOW, LOVED IT, THANK YOU SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO

Rochester NY loves Sebastian Maniscalco! Great show, laughed the whole time, perfect opening act as well, Pat McGann was hilarious. There is a little bit of Sebastian Maniscalco in everybody, no matter who they are, race, gender, we all were or grew up with people just like him and his material. That's what makes him so special, we all can relate. He's the best thing since Rocky Balboa. Love 'em!

5.0 star rating Ryan from Rochester, New York

CANNOT MISS SHOW (ROC 12/04/2021)

OMG, this guy is way too funny. I laughed so hard I thought I’d die of laughter. I couldn’t believe how well all of his jokes landed. I’d say Rochester had a great crowd. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. He needs to come back, I hope he has a netflix special with all the jokes he told last night. His vaccine jones, COVID jokes, and more are so funny. His restaurant jokes are great too. He made sure to include audience members, as well!! I cannot wait to see him again. Love Sebastian!!

5.0 star rating Doug S. from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

SEBASTIAN IN MILWAUKEE

While having dinner before the show, the wife informs me she “doesn’t think he’s that funny”. 90 minutes later she told me she peed in her pants from laughing so hard. That’s my review.

5.0 star rating Loretta Coolidge from Portland, OR/LA

LMAO

No surprise. A laugh a minute last night at the Forum. Need him to come back to Portland, OR. It helps to be Italian, but everyone can relate to his unique humor. His physicality is amazing. He’s real, like all of us. No one dare talk to me while he’s on stage; don’t want to miss a word or a movement.

5.0 star rating Monique B. from Ottawa, Ontario

Sebastian was hilarious and he had everyone laughing non stop! Will definitely see him again next time he’s in Ottawa.

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO

OUTSTANDING!!! Had all our families in tears. It was absolutely hilarious . At the end of the show, Sebastian was very sincere when he thanked his fans for the support he received during the pandemic and vice versa. Can’t wait to see his next comedy show.👍

5.0 star rating Nat from Montreal, Quebec

NOBODY DOES THIS

Four of us saw that show at the bell centre to a full house of 20 something thousand people, non stop laughing for 2 hours. After 2 years of lock down, Sebastien was the cure of our depressed souls. Thank you Sebastien for

WE LOVE SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO

My wife and I took our five adult children and spouses to Sebastian Maniscalco at Civic Center, Des Moines Ia. He did not disappoint!!! We had the best evening and he is so entertaining!! We laughed the night away. This is my 3rd time and my wife's 2nd time seeing him. We just love him!!!

5.0 star rating Ronnie from Charlotte, North Carolina

RIGHT ON THE MARK

Sebastian does not disappoint. His jokes are executed with precision and talent. He uses facial expressions, movements of body and voice to get the best laugh out of a joke. A true master of his art. Loved this show!

5.0 star rating Patti from Providence, Rhode Island

SO FUNNY

Second time seeing Sabastian. Loved his shows because he talks about real life stuff. Go see him!

5.0 star rating Cheryl Larson from Wheaton, Illinois

NOT ENOUGH STARS HERE!

I have not laughed this hard since I dated one of the funniest guys ever in 1980! Laugh till you cry, sore face, sore ribs, potty breaks needed! I’m in Wheaton Il I’m so obsessed with the laughter I dream about him around in my life! My regret is we didn’t cross paths before he left Chicago my brother and nephew’s lived in Inverness I spent many trips up and down Barrington rd. Also Nordstrom in Woodfield. I saw him in Green Bay bc I don’t like the city anymore. I was like 5th row! I wanted to say pick on me pick on me! Instead he picked on a guy in front who looked like an electrician who could probably fix cables if needed. That guy wasn’t happy. Sebastian moved on. I’m like WTH is he doing in front row! I’ve seen every show 10x I still laugh! I got in Uber asked him how long have you been doing Uber? I had a few after a wedding! I asked if he has discotheque in Istanbul! He was cracking up! I gave him a 10.00 on top of his tip for being a good sport! I go to jimmy johns and tell them to run it thru the garden! Yes I’m obsessed with laughing! Just lost my bff my mom in August she laughed so hard when I turned Sebastiancomedy on. She omg not this guy again. She had dementia but she laughed so hard! She wanted to go to Green Bay last year! I’m like mom we can’t hit pause every 10 minutes! I really hope Sebastian sees this. He is the best and has the biggest heart! I love the way he is mortified when Pete tells him how he complains in public and makes a stink! Thanks for listening!

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO VS NITRO CAR EVENT

Really fun night at Northern quest thanks to Sebastian Maniscalco. He captures the audience with insight into the ridiculous absurdities of living amongst our fellow human beings, the stuff of life we can all relate to. His audience become his friends, riveted to his stories, sharp, poignant and drop down hilarious! With each blasting roar of the nitro-speedsters in the background, or should we say, foreground, he made the plays with amazing grace. He’s the consummate good sport, a pro. Sebastian, please come back and give us another chance to experience and celebrate the gift you give, the power laughter! Spokane, our city, will make sure you have as much fun as we did last night. Thank you from the top and bottom of our hearts!

4.0 star rating Randie from Las Vegas, Nevada

A FUNNY EVENING

There is no doubt this man is truly funny and he will have you laughing all night, however for us this was the fourth time seeing him and although we totally enjoyed the show we were disappointed that after being off for one year, he had very little new material. Also for the first time he was bantering with the audience in excess which is so unlike him. I almost felt he wasn't in the best of moods for his 7:30 show on Friday night. Something was off. The Encore theater is a great venue to see him. The screens are so big so no worries where you sit. You don't miss a thing. Again, I would totally recommend his show!! His opening act and forgive me, I also forget his name, had all brand new material. True, he is only on for 30 minutes but it was fresh and very funny. For those who have never seen him, Sebastian is a must see!!!

4.0 star rating Melody Driscoll from Phoenix, Arizona

SUPER FUNNY GUY! GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!

He is super funny..loved the opening act!! It was a great theater as well. Sad that he had some healers that he couldn't shake in the upper level and it took up some of the show..with the interruptions.. Could of been longer...of course who ever gets tired of his truthful humor..so true...

4.0 star rating SC from Phoenix, Arizona

DID HE NOT ENJOY HIMSELF

Within seconds my husband said “He looks tired “. I seemed from his performance that he was nit enjoying himself at all. Have seen him live 3 times before and all were amazing. Continue to watch all YouTube videos which we love. Saturday night unfortunately was a lackluster performance. Driving home through 50mph blowing rains was the most exciting (and scary) part of the evening. Will try again next year if he tours.

4.0 star rating Lyn from Vancouver, British Columbia

JUDGING BY THE LAUGHTER , I’M SURE THAT WAS FUNNY , BUT I COULDN’T HEAR IT ! 🫤

Despite the fact that we were in the nosebleed section , we still had to pay a pretty penny for our seats . It was extremely difficult to hear both acts ! 😡 What we could hear was very funny and much appreciated. 🙏🤣😌 It’s most unfortunate that a venue like the Queen E can’t get their act together in order for this show to be thoroughly appreciated by one and all 😒 This was after all our first outing since Covid reared it’s ugly head ! It would have been nice to fully appreciate all of it … Still a fan Sebastian, from what I could hear 😏🙏😘

4.0 star rating Richard Jefferson from Atlantic City, New Jersey

SEATING AT THE SHOW

The comedy show itself was great! The only issue I had was with the seating. If I would've known the seaing arrangements was like it was at the Borgata Resort I would've never bought tickets to go see him at this venue. #1 it wasn't stadium seating it was hard fold up chairs that were zip tied with each other.

YOU BOTHER ME TOUR OCTOBER 13TH, 2019 10:00 PM

The Encore Theatre at the Wynn is a great venue. I had orchestra right row F seats 2 and 4 and they were fantastic....better than I imagined they would be. I saw Sebastian in 2016 front row in Las Vegas and he was beyond funny with his extremely animated gestures. I could not stop laughing and couldn’t wait to see him live again. I’ve made the person accompanying me watch all his show specials on Netflix/Amazon Prime and built him up. This was his last show of the evening after a 2 day back to back performances and you could tell he was extremely fatigued and there were hardly any of the animations he is known for. I was extremely disappointed in his lackluster performance at this event. I wanted to laugh more, but all I could focus on is thinking when is this show really going to start wowing me. I 600 miles round trip and spent close to 400.00 on these tickets, so I was bummed. However, he is human and everyone has an “off” night. I will still go see him again though!

YOU BOTHER ME TOUR WIND CREEK BETHLEHEM, PA

I am a big Sebastian Maniscalco fan. I have watched his shows on TV and in person many times. Over the years, I start laughing way before he even opens his mouth, but not so much at last nights performance at the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem PA. I felt his opening greeting to the audience went overboard on insulting Bethlehem and the people from the area. I also found his overall attitude to be very cocky and full of himself. Although the tour was called "You Bother Me", there were few if any jokes related to this subject. I have always like the way Sebastian could make you laugh talking about people and situations you can relate to without resulting to vulgarity. I don't mind the additional "f" word, but last nights show was full of vulgarity and lacking in content. I sure hope his jokes return to the past where they had more substance and content. I still think he is a funny guy, but should remember where he came from and show some appreciation for his fans. I was disappointed in the show, but look forward to laughing again at his shows in the future.

3.0 star rating Debbie from Atlantic City, New Jersey

CRUEL BULLING

I was disappointed in the 7pm show. I went to see the Sebastian that makes the audience laugh, not someone who laughs at the audience. Sebastian was ok but cruel to a young man in the front row. He came down hard on his looks, habits, and it was embarrassing. He even talked about his wife being "not bright" and clueless. I enjoyed his netflix specials, and was excited to see him in person, but I wouldn't spend money to see him again. I hope his children are never humiliated in public like he did to that young man. The opening comic Pat Mcgann was much funnier than Sebastian.

3.0 star rating Roger from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

FUNNY BUT ACOUSTICS WERE TERRIBLE

Our first time to see Sebastian and he is funny but to be honest, the acoustics were bad and we could only hear 1 or 2 out of every 3 words. It was bad for the opening act and we thought it would be better for the headliner but unfortunately it was not.

3.0 star rating Em from Toronto, Ontario

OLD STUFF BETTER

Have loved Sebastian’s material for years. Have watched all his old shows over and over. Never get tired of the same jokes. This show was good. But his old material is ‘fantastic’.

3.0 star rating Ann from New York, New York

DISAPPOINTED

I always loved Sebastian Manascalco‘s Netflix shows. Had me glued to the TV. Last night I went to the Predential Santa in New Jersey and I have to say I was disappointed in his act. I feel like he’s getting a little bit too sure of himself and his act Showed it.

3.0 star rating Kathleen Boccia from Wayne, New Jersey

SOUND

I was at the show at the Prudential Center on Wed, March 23rd (along with 3 friends) and although I absolutely love him and Pat McGann, we did not understand anything that Pat McGann was saying and 3/4 of Sebastians performance. The sound was horrible and I don’t know if it was where we were sitting, which was in Section 22, Row 20. We have been waiting to see this show for so long and was disappointed that we were unable to enjoy it to its fullest. I have seen him at other venues and never had this problem. I felt I needed to say something. Thank you for this opportunity.

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO INSULTS AUDIENCE MEMBERS

We have loved Sebastian Comedy performances for years. We were surprised and disappointed Thursday night at Fox when he made targeted several people in the audience with rude comments about their appearances( clothes snd tattoos) some were stereotypical and created uncomfortable awkward moments in the audience. People pay to be entertained not insulted. He also reacted like he was pissed off when someone responded to a comment about our St . Louis Cards playing the Cubs… Does he not know what city he’s in?

3.0 star rating Stephen Roberts from Atlantic City, New Jersey

SEBASTIAN AT ATLANTIC CITY

My wife and I love Sebastian's comedy and have seen him before at Reading, Pa. His show last night was good but not as funny as past shows. He seemed to run out of material and then started badgering the crowd (which was fun) but we used to laugh much more at him and I think his repeated used of the "goof ball look" while hunched over was overplayed. The ticket prices (776 for 2) was excessive. There are better values for the money. Nonetheless, he will continue to do well.

3.0 star rating from Chicago, Illinois

SEEMED TIRED & ANGRY

Have loved watching his videos & so enjoyed his old stuff, spent a small fortune for my family & I to see his show at Borgata, Atlantic City. He came out & the beginning of his show was great but then his humor seemed to change & he just didn’t seem to be clicking with the audience. There were 10 of us that attended & we were all such big fans but unfortunately came away somewhat disappointed. Also the venue’s seats were horrible. Chairs lined up & people were squished together. Expected much more for the price.

3.0 star rating Annie T. from Las Vegas, Nevada

GIMME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME!

After Friday night's show at Encore, this will be our last live show and we will be investing in more of his DVDs to watch at home. We are Henderson locals, so this was our second Vegas show at the Encore/Wynn. Sebastian was always hilarious, but both of the shows we have seen had him only performing for one hour max! Drive there was longer than the show! He sprinted off the stage like he was glad it was over, and we spent hundreds on tickets to get short-changed. Twice now he had opening acts which were OK but unnecessary. He has more than enough material to perform for 90 minutes (on his own) and skip the opener! Then he threw in a crude memory of a date at 16 years old and that was so out of character for him. We would happily have liked to see him bring back older material and perform longer! He complained about the family rip-offs at Universal Studio (totally justified) but then gives us an hour show when we spent big money on tickets---and tourists that traveled from out of state to see him had even bigger expenses! Sorry, done.

2.0 star rating Mike from Vallejo, California

DISAPPOINTING

I had expectations of non-stop Italian American culture humor, in the style of his videos. No so much. He did have an overwrought graphic description of how guys pee in a urinal which was indeed grossly attention getting, but not particularly funny. Likewise the facial expression ridicule of the special-needs child effective and accurate, but not funny. It was clear from dozens of snide remarks throughout the show about the venue, and Santa Rosa in general that he was not thrilled to be there, like he was doing us peons a favor. I think maybe Sebastian is getting too big for his jeans. This probably explains the yoga pants with pockets, which is not flattering to chubby stubby legs, IMHO. OH, well. Glad I went to see for myself, but would not go again.

YOU BOTHER ME 2/16/2020 AT WIND CREEK, PA

Huge fan of Sebastian Maniscalco, but disappointed in the show. He is so much better than that performance. Please stick to what you do best. Condescending, rude, and vulgar behavior is not who you are, and not what your fans expect.

CROSSED A LINE

Started the show off commenting on the prevalence of a certain racialized group in our city. We are proud of our multicultural environment and it was offensive. He should do some research and know his audience better.

ACT WAS WEIRD AT TIMES - SEATING WAS HORRIBLE

Let me first start out by saying I always loved Sebastian. And i would of given this review a 1 star if it wasnt for the first act. Excited to finally see sebastian live me and my friend waited about 20 min passed starting time to finally see the first act. who was actually very funny. Sebastian I had a love hate relationship with. At times watching his act was like watching the YouTube videos I thought were hilarious and at others I was worried the act instead of leaving me smiling left me thinking about my parents dying. His material was about his kids mainly but then he went on to talk about a burial for his father which I thought was a little too dark for what I wanted to be a relaxing funny night. Theres no funny in death to me. So jokes like that are just not for me. Thankfully he switched to something else and then I was hearing a Jeffery Dahmer skit which was worse. Lastly the seats at borgata were like sitting on bricks along with being to close to other viewers. Skip this.

2.0 star rating GH from Atlantic City, New Jersey

BORING

Not sure what all the hype is about mildly amusing is the way I'd sum up the show and way over hyped. How is he selling out shows? Seems like a fun guy to hangout with but wasn't worth the money.

2.0 star rating Pamela from Atlantic City, New Jersey

DISAPPOINTED

Went to 10:00 show Friday, Nov 4. His compilation of stories were awful. Did I laugh a little, somewhat. Why bring up Dahmer?? Omg! Why not just stick to your funny family stories!! Over $200.00 for a ticket! What a waste of money!

1.0 star rating Patrick Corcoran from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

COULD TO HEAR HIM OR THE FIRST GUY.

Sebastian, tell the AV nerds at the Riverside to either add some midrange or turn up the sound system! You were great, but the poor sound for everyone under the balcony, behooved us to ask for a ticket refund. No one could hear you and your act depends on your great inflection from whisper to boisterous. Our group ranged from was 21, 25, 50 and 60 years old. Didn't you think it was oddly to quiet at times? Could not hear the setups to the punchlines, which are always louder.

1.0 star rating Melissa Mascoli from New York, New York

POOR SOUND

We love and have seen him before but we couldn't hear a thing at Madison Square Garden. Asked to move but no seats available. Tried to get reimbursement through MSG with no luck. That was my daughter's and my Christmas present from my husband. What a disappointment.

1.0 star rating Richard Cirillo from Long Island NY

SEATING DIAGRAM WAS CHANGED

when we selected our seats months ago it was for a standard theater seating where comedian in on stage and he faces everyone. We paid over $650 for two seats to sit close. We get there and the stage is in the middle???? We spent more than half the night looking at his back. I could have sat anywhere and watched the screen to get the same effect!!! we felt ripped off!!!! I am not sure who is at fault either Borgata or Sebastian, but left a very bad taste in my mouth. I would have never spent that kind of money to watch his back. They suckered you in to think you were getting one type of seating & then changed. I don't know when but when i selected my seats for the 5th row ((E) it was not that way!!!!! the performance itself was very funny, but felt he showed his political side which i though he could have left out.
