Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco Breaks Box Office Records with Hulu Special

Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco is set to premiere his latest stand-up special "It Ain't Right" on Hulu on November 21. The hour-long show, which was filmed at the sold-out United Center arena in Maniscalco's hometown of Chicago, features the 52-year-old comedian's signature brand of self-deprecating humor.

In the special, Maniscalco pokes fun at his mild case of sleep apnea, joking about duct-taping his mouth shut to avoid passing away in his sleep. He also channels his comedic talents to comment on the younger generation's confusion over the use of cash, recounting a recent encounter at a drug store.

Maniscalco's upcoming special is part of Hulu's "Hularious" lineup and is written, performed, and executive produced by the comedian himself. The special has been highly anticipated, as Maniscalco's tour has already broken box office records, selling 361,000 tickets for 30 shows in the first six months of 2025 and grossing $35.5 million. In September 2024, he also set the record for a comic performing the most consecutive nights - five - at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

"It Ain't Right" marks Maniscalco's seventh comedy special, following a string of successful releases over the past decade, including "Sebastian Live," "What's Wrong with People?," and "Stay Hungry." Fans of the comedian's unique brand of observational humor can look forward to his latest offering, which promises to deliver plenty of laughs and relatable moments.
