Sebastian Maniscalco

Sometimes it's cool to have banter with the audience. Occasionally, somebody will say something, and I'll say something right back, and everybody laughs, and it's funny.

Growing up in an Italian family, we used our body to convey a message.

I don't like long jokes. I like stories rather than setup punchlines.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

I don't like to get in front of people.
