Sebastian Maniscalco

?What's Wrong with People?? asks Sebastian Maniscalco, as he hilariously tries to bridge the Italian-American Old World he grew up in with the contemporary frenetic world we all live in today. Reminiscent of a young Jerry Seinfeld, Sebastian constantly challenges his audience to recognize the absurdities of everyday life in this original, highly relatable stand-up comedy tour-de-force.

Here is Sebastian Maniscalco performing for Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show.

Is there comedy in the Middle East? Despite there being no easy way to describe stand-up comedy in Arabic, a group of 'comedy ambassadors' travel from Dubai to Beirut, Riyadh to Cairo with a double mission: to disrupt the pervasive image of Muslims as solemn, threatening, and inhuman; and to deliver some much-needed relief and laughter to the intense reality of everyday life in the Middle East. As one of the first comedy shows in the Arab world starts rolling, backstage anxiety and nerves rumble after busting open cultural taboos in each city. The comics willfully walk the line on jokes about Islam, sexuality, and body parts at times even with a foul mouth in the hopes that, as one performer says, if we can learn to laugh at ourselves, the rest of the world will laugh with us. As edifying as it is entertaining, Egyptian-American comic and first-time director Ahmed Ahmed's film shows us the Middle East like most Americans have never seen it before. Featuring the talented antics of Maz Jobrani, Tom Papa, Ted Alexandro, Tommy Davidson, Omid Djalili (The Infidel), Whitney Cummings, Sebastian Maniscalco, Angelo Tsarouchas, Sherif Azab, Erik Griffin, and Ahmed Ahmed himself.

Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights Hollywood to the Heartland chronicles the journey of Vince Vaughn, star of the hit films Fred Claus, The Break Up, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Old School, and Swingers, and four stand-up comedians as they traverse the country performing in a live variety show. In the spirit of the old west variety shows, Vaughn plays host to the ensemble of comedians and performs improvisational sketches with surprise celebrity and musical guests. Hand picked by Vaughn to perform on the tour, from the world famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, are national comedians Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst, and Sebastian Maniscalco. The film provides audiences a rare opportunity to experience Vaughn and his team as they travel over 6,000 miles across the heartland of America and perform 30 shows in 30 days. Traveling to cities that don't ordinarily attract this type of entertainment, Vaughn and his team bring their unique styles and perspectives to regional audiences throughout Western, Southern and Midwestern states. Through rousing onstage performances and behind-the-scenes interviews, the engaging film breaks down the true essence of each comedian's life altering experiences and the personal and professional challenges that will unite four comics, one movie star and legions of fans from Hollywood to the Heartland.
