(NEWARK, NJ) -- Renowned comedian, actor, and podcast host Sebastian Maniscalco has officially announced his 2025 "It Ain't Right" tour. Building on the extraordinary success of his 2024 run, which saw multiple sold-out shows and record-breaking performances, Maniscalco continues to make history as one of the most influential figures in comedy. The tour will add 23 new cities in 2025, including a stop at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on Friday, March 7; Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Saturday, March 8; and UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY on Saturday, March 15, 2025.

Maniscalco invites fans to join him on the "It Ain’t Right" tour, where he humorously dissects today’s absurdities, from nonexistent manners and soaring prices to the chaos of social media. His unique take on the shamelessness of modern life promises a night of laughter at the world’s many wrongs.

Sebastian Maniscalco shattered his unprecedented personal milestone for most consecutive performances by a comedian at Madison Square Garden extending his residency with a fifth show in response to overwhelming demand. With his current achievement, he is poised to surpass his 2019 record, solidifying his place as the comedian with the most consecutive performances and the highest-grossing comedy event in North American history. Hailed by The New York Times as the "hottest comic in America," Maniscalco is celebrated for his impeccable timing, relatable storytelling, and unique physical comedy. He made history as the first comedian to headline the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

"The response to this tour has been nothing short of incredible—the crowds have been electric, and the energy is just through the roof,” said Maniscalco. “We’re gearing up to bring you even more on the second leg, and I can’t wait to get back out there. See you soon!"

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with artist presales beginning on Wednesday, September 18. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, September 20 at 10:00am at SebastianLive.com

Sebastian Maniscalco is the undisputed king of physical comedy, hailed by The New York Times as the "hottest comic in America." He has been performing for over two decades amassing a huge loyal fanbase and as Pollstar has noted, “He's been a voice in the vanguard of a live comedy revolution.” During his latest tour, Maniscalco conquered New York City by selling out Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, UBS Arena, and Prudential Center, and with his two shows at Chicago's United Center, he is currently the highest-grossing comedian in the venue's three-decade history. With residencies at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, as well as the Wynn, Encore Theatre in Las Vegas, he continues his record-breaking arena shows that earned him the top spot on Pollstar's Top Comedy Tours list. He has also starred in 6 comedy specials for networks such as Netflix, Showtime and Comedy Central.

Maniscalco's comedic prowess extends far beyond the stand-up stage, seamlessly translating his talents into film, television, and podcasting. His new series, Bookie, co-produced with the legendary Chuck Lorre, premiered on Max in November 2023 and has already been renewed for a second season. The show follows a veteran bookie navigating the impending legalization of sports gambling and the evolving culture that bounces him around Los Angeles. On the big screen, Maniscalco appears in a range of projects including John Krasinski’s family-friendly film IF, which combines live action and animation; the comedy-drama Unfrosted, written, produced and directed by Jerry Seinfeld; the animated hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie; the Neil Bogart biopic Spinning Gold; and the dramedy Somewhere in Queens with Ray Romano and Laurie Metcalf. In 2023, he marked his first leading role by co-writing and starring in About My Father, a Lionsgate production loosely based on his Italian family experience, alongside Robert De Niro. Additionally, Maniscalco has appeared in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and Peter Farrelly’s Oscar-winning Green Book.

In addition to his work in television and stand-up, Maniscalco currently hosts The Pete and Sebastian Show with his hilarious co-host, Pete Correale. The podcast is available on all major platforms. Maniscalco is also an author of the national best-selling memoir, “Stay Hungry,” an inspiring, honest, and uproarious collection of essays that traces his career from the trials and tribulations – to reaching the pinnacles of comedy success. Maniscalco's success is a testament to his perseverance and hustle – with his tireless work ethic and undeniable talent, it's safe to say that Maniscalco will continue to be a fixture in comedy and entertainment for years to come.
