Last year's Just for Laughs' Stand Up Comedian of the Year Sebastian Maniscalco continues to bring the laughs once again to Las Vegas with a highly anticipated stop of his "Why Would You Do That" tour at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Maniscalco is scheduled to perform Sunday, October 8. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, May 12 at noon PT. The event is presented jointly by AEG Presents and Caesars Entertainment.

Tickets may be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, by calling 866-320-9763 or online by visiting www.thecolosseum.com or www.axs.com. Ticket prices are $95/$69.50/$55/$39.50 (prices include 9% Live Entertainment Tax.) Orders are subject to additional service charges and fees. For groups of 10 or more, call 866-574-3851. Showtime is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Distinguished by The New York Times as a comic with his "own kind of panache," Sebastian has taken on everything from selfies that he calls "lonelies" ("Do you know how alone you have to be to have 838 photos of yourself in your bathroom?") to online restaurant reviews ("Who's got the time to write an 18-page essay on asparagus?").

Sebastian Maniscalco, the 2016 Just for Laughs Stand Up Comedian of the Year and 2014 American Comedy Award nominee for Best Club Comedian has established an avid fan following via national late night television appearances on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Late Night with Seth Meyers," "Conan" and has appeared in Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." Sebastian is a popular guest on groundbreaking podcasts "WTF with Marc Maron" and "The Joe Rogan Experience" while starring in his own wildly popular "The Pete and Sebastian Show" podcast every Friday night.

Sebastian will be making his move to the big screen in 2017 with several major motion picture appearances, including a voice-over role in the animated feature "Nut Job 2," a New Line feature comedy "The House" starring Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler (directed by AnDrew Cohen) and the independent drama "Cruise" directed by Rob Siegel and produced by Jeremy Renner.
