Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco on Tour in 2018

18th October 2017 | Category: Theater

Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco announced a new tour titled “Stay Hungry”, capitalizing on the success of his top rated “The Pete & Sebastian Show” and his new book “Stay Hungry” that’s coming up in 2018.

Maniscalco is hitting the road again in early 2018 for a 15-city North American tour, starting in Montreal on January 5 and ending in New York on April 21. The tour includes stops in Boston, Chicago, Providence, Washington D.C., Toronto, Rosemont and more. If you simply can’t wait for 2018, tickets for his 2017 “Why Would You Do That?” shows can be purchased here.

We can freely say that 2017 was an incredible year for Sebastian.  His 2017 tour “Why Would You Do That?” was immediate success, in April he became a father to a daughter Serafina Simone, and when he returned to the road, after a few months off with family, his sold-out performances broke the record for most consecutive comedy appearances. His “Pete & Sebastian Show” on SiriusXM Raw Dog Comedy Channel became top-ranked show. He was also included on Forbes’ 2017’s “The World highest Paid Comedians”. Forbes described him as someone who is likely to be on their list for a long time thanks to his enthusiasm and willingness to work.

He also acted in a Will Ferrel comedy “The House” and gave voice to character Johnny the Groundhog in the animated movie “Nut Job 2” which is in the theatres now. Next year, he will co-star wit Ed Helmes and Jeremy Renner in the film “TAG”. So it seem like he will continue his success spree.

The name of the 2018 tour “Stay Hungry” is not just the name of his new book from publisher Simon & Schuster that will hit the shelves in 2018, but also his personal motto. He explained that even though he became famous and gained some success, he is always going to stay hungry for more.

Don’t miss his live performances, since they became a critically-acclaimed event. Newsday dubbed him as one of the hottest comics working stand-up today, and Los Angeles Times went further to explain:

“Onstage, there’s an impatience to Maniscalco’s delivery as well, a hair-trigger exasperation with people and modern life, punctuated with baffled expressions, percussive thumps on the microphone and wide-swung leg kicks more associated with an Olympic speed-skater than a stand-up comic.”

Rihanna, U2 and Zacari have guest appearances on the album that quickly went platinum. It marked his third number one album on the Billboard 200 chart.

Lamar’s greatest influences are Eminem, Jay-Z, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dog but he definitely has his own style and brings something fresh to the rap music.

In addition to his concert tour, he also promoted his album at festivals Coachella, Quebec City Summer Festival and Rolling Loud this summer.
