Exactly no one was surprised when promoters added an extra Sebastian Maniscalco show to the punchy stand-up’s Paramount Theatre visit this weekend. And another. And another. The 45-year-old, who grew up in a boisterous Sicilian family in Chicago’s Arlington Heights suburb, just sold out four Madison Square Garden shows in January — “the most tickets in a weekend for any comedy engagement in the history of the Garden,” according to Billboard, which named him its Comedian of the Year for 2018. Last year, Maniscalco also posted the highest-ever gross for a comic in North America, with $8.3 million in ticket sales and an attendance count of 72,960, Billboard reported, beating the record set by Dave Chappelle in 2014. “I feel like the notoriety has definitely increased, but not to a point where it’s cumbersome at all to my lifestyle,” Maniscalco said over the phone this month before his March 22 and 24 Paramount dates (with two shows per night).
