Side Splitters Comedy Club Welcomes Sebastian Maniscalco

A native of Chicago, IL, Sebastian Maniscalco grew up with comedy in his blood. After earning a degree in Corporate Organizational Communications from Northern Illinois University, Sebastian realized his passion for stand-up comedy and moved out to Los Angeles. While working as a waiter at a Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Sebastian spent every free night performing at local clubs, bowling alleys and bars. Sebastian remembers being so bad his first stand-up act that the audience jeered him off the stage screaming "Sandman! Sandman!" referring to Showtime at the Apollo's Howard Sims who would usher failed acts offstage with a shepherd's crook. But, with a steadfast work ethic and impeccable comedic timing, Sebastian has risen through the ranks to become one of the most respected entertainers in the stand-up community today.

No stranger to television, Sebastian catapulted into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour for his one-hour Comedy Central DVD Special Sebastian Live! On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Sebastian has appeared as the unforgettable style correspondent providing hilarious grooming advice to unsuspecting airline passengers and churchgoers. Some of Sebastian's other television appearances include the award-winning series The Savages, Tim Meadows' The Very Funny Show, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Showtime's Comics without Boarders, Comics Unleashed and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Ryan Singer is the rarest of breeds: A comic's comic who electrifies mainstream audiences with material that is both uncompromising and unpretentious. The premeditated chaos of Singer's comedy can now be heard on his debut album, HOW TO GET HIGH WITHOUT DRUGS, an intense exercise in wordplay, improvisation, and storytelling recorded at Go Bananas Comedy Club in Cincinnati, OH. Those who enter Singer's world will be rewarded with knowledge of the connections between dimwitted hunters and Tyra Banks, cookies and racial tension, and even gay marriage and dragons, courtesy of a comedian who expertly connects insanity and brilliance.

He was one of 4 finalist in CMT's Next Big Comic Contest, has appeared on the nationally syndicated radio show Bob & Tom and was a regional finalist in Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight.

For more info, just ask him as he'll be glad to talk about himself.
