It’s time to have a laugh in the capital. American stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco is coming to Abu Dhabi. He is bringing his It Ain’t Right Tour to Etihad Arena, Yas Island, on 8 October.
Sebastian’s It Ain’t Right Tour is presented by Live Nation Middle East and Team Innovation, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral. If you’d like to get hold of tickets, here’s what you need to know.
Sebastian hails from Illinois, United States, and is the son of Italian immigrants. He grew up influenced by comedians such as George Carlin, Johnny Carson, and Jerry Seinfeld. Much of his material draws on his upbringing and his traditional father, and he creates jokes about himself and his family.
In 2009, Sebastian released his first comedy special, Sebastian Live, for Comedy Central. Over his career, he has released six comedy specials. In 2017, he made the transition from stand-up to the film industry, making his feature film debut in The House. In the same year, he appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Green Book. He also starred in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and the 2023 version of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
In 2023, he co-wrote and co-starred in the film About My Father, in which Robert De Niro played the role of his father. The film was directed by Laura Terruso and also featured Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, and David Rasche.
