Saying what we’re all thinking has always been Sebastian Maniscalco’s specialty. Except when he says it it’s a whole lot funnier.
His brand new Showtime standup special “Aren't You Embarrassed?” debuted on November 14 the sophisticated comedian with the chiseled cheekbones gives us a hilarious reality check of the world we all find ourselves living in. Continuing to bring his witheringly sarcastic and exasperated take on modern behavior and etiquette in his second Showtime special in two years Sebastian takes 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?”) to airport check-ins (“I’m taking out a boot…a sock…a toothpaste…does anyone know what two pounds is?”). The special has already spawned the Twitter hash tag #Aren’tYouEmbarrassed with thousands of followers donating their take via social media on the absurdities of everyday life in the year 2014.
Taping the special “Aren’t You Embarrassed?” in Chicago was a homecoming of sorts for the self-proclaimed ‘half-Sicilian half-Italian’ who grew up in the middle class suburbs of Chicago (“The world doesn’t match my upbringing”). Priding himself on a work ethic his father instilled in him when he began working at the age of 8 Sebastian made his first dime as an altar boy at funerals during his lunch break to contribute to the family.
Still sporting his Chicago accent despite leaving the Windy City in the early 2000’s to follow his dream in Los Angeles Sebastian began paying his comedy dues by night playing his brand of comedy in bars and bowling alleys while working as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. He eventually broke into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour in support of his one-hour Comedy Central DVD Special. Yet it wasn’t until Sebastian captured the attention of award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn who selected him to be one of four featured comedians in the critically acclaimed film “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show” that his comedy career began to explode.
Since then the 2014 American Comedy Award nominee for Best Club Comedian has established an avid fan following via national late night television appearances on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” “Lopez Tonight” “Conan” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Sebastian is also a popular guest on such ground-breaking podcasts as “WTF with Marc Maron” in addition to starring in his own wildly popular “The Pete and Sebastian Show” podcast every Friday night. If that wasn’t enough Sebastian is currently writing a pilot for NBC alongside Austen Earl and Greg Garcia.
Still enjoying the honeymoon phase with new wife and renowned L.A. based artist Lana Gomez Sebastian continues to develop new material at frequent shows at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard. Sebastian also routinely devotes time to The COMMIT Foundation which creates serendipity for veterans by fostering mentorship extending professional networks and promoting familiar camaraderie for our country’s military.
At the moment Sebastian says he finds himself ’happier than ever’…and he ain’t embarrassed one bit.

Bert Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone Magazine’s "Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top grossing stand-up comics in the business, movie star, leading podcaster and entrepreneur. According to Forbes, Kreischer has been hailed as, “one of the best storytellers of his generation, seamlessly and sincerely sharing anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while proving that there’s a way to take his [party-boy] antics into middle-age.” In 2024, Kreischer had the #6 highest grossing comedy tour worldwide, a huge accomplishment as he only toured 6 months, from January to June.
Following a 140-city international arena tour, Kreischer shot his 6th stand-up special in his hometown of Tampa, FL and all six shows sold out within a day. Kreischer will release his newly awaited special, Lucky, on Netflix on March 18th, 2025.
In March of 2023, Kreischer premiered his highly anticipated Netflix stand-up special, Razzle Dazzle, the follow up to his previous stand-up specials; Hey Big Boy (Netflix), Secret Time (Netflix), The Machine (Showtime/Netflix) and Comfortably Dumb (Showtime).
Razzle Dazzle was a hit for the streamer, garnering critical praise and reaching their top 10 most watched list with over 8.3 million global views in its debut.
Also in 2023, Kreischer starred in and produced the Sony Pictures film, The Machine, based on his signature stand-up set recounting his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. After a theatrical release, The Machine immediately launched into Netflix’s Global Top 10 Films list upon its premiere on-platform later that year.
During the summer of 2024, Kreischer wrapped his third annual iteration of the Fully Loaded Comedy Festival, which hit twelve of the most iconic ballparks, arenas, and amphitheaters across the country to sold out crowds. Fully Loaded featured Bert, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Tiffany Haddish, Shane Gillis, Nikki Glaser, Whitney Cummings and many more - including special drop-in guests like Jelly Roll and Marcus King. In October of 2023, Kreischer took his festival to sea with the Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise. The event sold out in just a few days and broke the long-standing record for alcohol sales previously held by Kid Rock.
In addition to being named, “one of the US’s top stand-ups over the past decade,” by The Guardian, Kreischer is a world-renowned podcaster, hosting Bertcast, with over 600 episodes, and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura, which consistently charts in the top 10 comedy podcasts worldwide. Kreischer also created, hosts, and produces his YouTube cooking show, Something’s Burning, which has earned over 45.3M views to date. On social media, Kreischer boasts impressive numbers totaling 13.4M fans across all platforms, and 280M total views on his YouTube channel alone.
This coming May, the 2 Bears, 1 Cave duo is hosting their second annual “2 Bears 5K” fan event with special guest Jelly Roll. The inaugural “2B5K,” was held at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena with thousands of runners participating. For 2025, the second 2B5K will take place in Tampa, FL at Raymond James Stadium.
Last year, Kreischer and Segura launched their own vodka company, Por Osos, which has rapidly become one of the most sought-after spirits in the industry.
In 2022, Bert and LeeAnn Kreischer founded Berty Boy Productions, the production home to the entire video and podcast solar system that orbits Kreischer, his friends and colleagues, and the Fully Loaded comedy brand.
