I used to devour a lot of stand-up comedy in my cousin's basement. He had cable and I didn't, so I went there and saw all the comedians. Sebastian Maniscalco basementcablecomedian Change image and share on social
I developed a knack for storytelling early on around the kitchen table with my family. I just happen to be a funny guy. Sebastian Maniscalco developearlyfamily Change image and share on social

We grew up in a middle-class family in Chicago. Even when we went on vacation as a family, it wasn't a really fun time, because my father didn't want to spend any money when we got there. Sebastian Maniscalco chicagoclassfamily Change image and share on social
