Sebastian Maniscalco
February 1st through 4th
Cap City Comedy Club

    A native of Chicago,, Sebastian Maniscalco earned a degree in Corporate Organizational Communications from Northern Illinois University - then realized his passion for stand-up comedy and moved out to Los Angeles.  While working as a waiter at a Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Sebastian spent every free night performing at local clubs, bowling alleys and bars.
     He catapulted into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour for his one-hour Comedy Central DVD special “Sebastian Live!”  He also appeared as the unforgettable style correspondent on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” providing hilarious grooming advice to unsuspecting airline passengers and churchgoers.
    His other television appearances include the award-winning series “The Savages,” “Tim Meadows' The Very Funny Show,” Comedy Central's “Premium Blend,” Showtime's “Comics without Boarders,” “Comics Unleashed” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.”  While perfecting his routine on the stand-up circuit, he was handpicked by award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn to be one of the four featured comedians in the critically acclaimed film, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show.
     Throughout his diverse career, Maniscalco  has worked with many other entertainment legends including Prince, BB King, Al Green, Anita Baker and Gladys Knight.  In 2009, he completed an international USO tour for the troops, where he performed in Guam, Fuji, Misawa, Iwakuni and Hiroshima.  His sold-out shows at the Dubai Comedy Festival and Lebanon's Music Hall solidified him as an international sensation.
     Maniscalco performs on Wednesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and 10:30 pm.  Tickets are $9 to $19.
