Maniscalco grew up in Chicago, the son of a hairstylist and a school secretary. He attended Chicago’s Rolling Meadows High School and later enrolled in Northern Illinois University, graduating with a degree in Corporate Organizational Communications.

Comedy has been part of Maniscalco’s life since his childhood, from funny home stories to humorous school presentations. He soon learned that standing in front of a group of people and making them laugh was his passion, thus after graduating in early 2000, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. He started by performing comedy acts at local bars, clubs and bowling alleys, while also working as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and at a few other restaurants.

Maniscalco captured mainstream attention with a 20-city tour in support of his Comedy Central DVD special “Sebastian Live!”. His name was becoming more and more familiar and his net worth was at its start.

His growing popularity in the comedy world enabled Maniscalco to be selected as one of four featured stand-up comedians in the hit 2006 film “Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland” by the award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn. The comedy documentary film portrays the comedians as they travel and perform on their tour, as well as their interactions off stage along the way. The film, which became an instant hit, has been extremely successful at the box office, significantly adding to Maniscalco’s wealth.

In 2012 Maniscalco released his comedy special called “Sebastian Maniscalco: What’s Wrong With People”, and two years later another one called “Sebastian Maniscalco: Aren’t You Embarrassed?”. The specials, which were aired on Showtime, mainly focus on Maniscalco’s take on daily human behavior back in the Italian-American Old World he grew up in, and today’s modern world, reminding the audience how much better the world used to be, in his unique, hilarious way. They have considerably improved the comedian’s net worth.

During his career, Maniscalco has been a frequent guest on networks such as Showtime, Comedy Central and Comedy Network. He has made appearances on a number of national television shows, including Russell Peters “Best Night Ever”, “Comedy Central Presents”, “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson“, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno“, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon“, “Late Night with Seth Meyers“, “Conan”, “Hollywood Uncensored”, and others. During his career, he has worked with famous comedians such as Al Green, Anita Baker, Gladys Knight, and Dennis Miller. A popular guest on the podcast “WTF”, Maniscalco also has his own podcast called “The Pete and Sebastian Show”.

The comedian will be taking a voice-over role in the upcoming animated film “Nut Job 2”, while also appearing in the comedy “The House” and in the drama “Cruise”. He will also release his memoir “Where You Wanna Eat?” in 2016.

An American Comedy Award nominee for Best Club Comedian, Maniscalco’s unique brand of humor has enabled him to establish a reputation as one of the best comedians in the business today, and to earn a considerable fortune as well.
