Sebastian Maniscalco Reviews

SEBESTIAN MANISCALO

Great show. Kept you laughing . Typical Sebastian humor. Not disappointed. My only concern was that he did not premise his Jewish jokes to qualifing them with a Tree of Life understanding. He was in Pittsburgh and possibly could of recognized that in the routinee as a caveat.

STAY HUNGRY SEEMED AN APPROPRIATE TITLE.

His schtick is sill pointing out the shortcomings of others including himself; his appearance on stage is priceless; ant, his physical gestures are one of a kind. This show was comfort food in that a lof of familiar themes were made fodder: his wife's family which is a Jackie Mason bit; his father which never gets old, et. etc. I thought when he began interacting with the audience it acually picked the show up.I would have enjoyed a bit more about his relatives rather than his wifes. In contrast to Seinfeld last week, Sebastian was a notch below, but that may have had more to do with the incredibly uncomortable seats Humphreys continues to use. Up your game Humphreys. I paid over $450 for my two seats and an hour in, my back was killing me. Your chairs are outdated and painful. what kills me is you know this and continue to ignore the issue. Cell phone texting distracts - ban texting or calling during performances? Chairs have got to go - up your game manangment.

Excellent performance. Disappointed on time he spent on stage. One hour is to short for price of tickets. He needs to perform longer each show..I'll watch him on showtime much cheaper.

AMUSING BUT NOT SUPER FUNNY.

I understand that comedy is big time subjective. My wife and I had watched YouTube videos of Maniscalso. Unfortunately those YouTube clips were "The best of". I did not find him funny at all. Yes there was a brief second that evoked a smile from me but not the kind of laughter that makes your abs hurt. The worst part of any comedy act is the one person who starts to laugh out load the second the comedian walks on stage. Forget about when he opens his mouth. You would think she's about ready to have a heart attach she is laughing so hard. At what?? who knows. It was not just me. I looked around me at the people in section 112 and very few were laughing out loud. Another con is that you are basically watching the show on a massive t/v screen because the person on stage is barley visible especially if you want to see his facial expressions.

STAY HUNGRY, NOT SO MUCH

Have seen Sebastian on 3 other occasions. His latest material on the Stay Hungry tour is not his best. Shows 4-5 years ago were much much better. Maybe next time.

NOT HIS BEST

The review from Josh Nelson from San Diego could have been written word for word about Maniscalco's show in Toronto. I also have noticed him somewhat tired, and some of his material was recycled from previous shows. The fact that he picked on some of the front row spectators was also something out of character for him this time. Although Sebastian is still a funny guy, one feels that he relies too much on his past success and risks taking his audiences for granted. I feel that the reviewers giving 5 stars to his Toronto are reluctant to admit that they spent an average of $200 for below par performance.

CAN'T WIN EM ALL

Let me start by saying Sebastian is one of the funniest/original guys out right now. Unfortunately, our recent night at the Straz...we didn't get that guy. It could of been recovery mode from the previous nights show in Sunrise (friends said he had them crying... the good kind) or it could have been him pacing for the next show. Two shows in one night.... Hard for anyone to give 100% on each.
