I enjoyed that clip. I like his view of what humour is. He relates it to family situations we can all identify with. There isn’t all that shock value of bad language, sick sex, and cruel picking on the failings of others that some comedians use. It’s all done good-naturedly. Nice post, DK.
Never heard of the man before but he is really, really magnificently great!!! Just laugh – the best advice anybody can give. It’s my slogan too – not alway well received by the more serious peeps …. but I no longer care. Laughing about oneself is the greatest anyway. Just had a family meal and my sides hurt from laughing…. A wonderful video. Shall see if I find more of him. Thanks
*grin* David, to be honest, the only reason I knew who he was (found out about him a year ago) is because he’s from just outside of Chicago! Otherwise, there would be you (and me)! Hahaha Cher xo
The best comedians always show us what we need to see about ourselves. May humor continue to make us question and shift how societies around the world see themselves and others 💛
This is the first thing I ever saw from Sebastian Maniscalco. I’ve been laughing ever since. Well worth watching, even if you have to do it in chunks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDmxTmwC9F8
That was refreshing David–Thank you. He is so familiar to me. If my brother Dana was a comedian, this would be his style. Even looks like him as a younger man. Perhaps we are related through our Sicilian ancestry, but more likely it’s a cultural thing. Love him.
Chase & I watched his Netflix special about a month ago and we were in tears laughing so hard. His youtube clips are awesome! I can watch him everyday.
