What's Wrong With People? asks Sebastian Maniscalco in his hilarious new hit stand-up special airing on Showtime and available on DVD nationwide on March 27th.
In What's Wrong with People, he brings his witheringly sarcastic and exasperated take on modern behavior and decorum, trying to bridge the gap between the Italian-American Old World
he grew up in and the contemporary frenetic world we all live in today. The result is an original, highly relatable stand-up comedy tour-de-force that has Sebastian performing sold-out
concerts worldwide. His self-deprecating comedy reminds fans of a young Jerry Seinfeld who constantly challenges his audience to recognize the absurdities of everyday life.
A native of Chicago, Sebastian grew up with comedy in his blood. After earning a degree in Corporate Organizational Communications from Northern Illinois University, he realized his
passion for stand-up comedy and immediately headed out to Los Angeles. While working as a waiter at a Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Sebastian spent every free night performing at
local clubs, bowling alleys and bars. He remembers being so bad during his first stand-up act that the audience jeered him off the stage by screaming, “Sandman! Sandman!”
in reference to Showtime at the Apollo's Howard Sims who would usher failed acts offstage with a shepherd's crook. But, with a steadfast work ethic and impeccable comedic timing, Sebastian
has risen through the ranks to become one of the most respected entertainers in the stand-up community today.
As his career roll continued, Sebastian catapulted into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour for his one-hour Comedy Central DVD Special Sebastian Live! On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
Sebastian has appeared as the unforgettable style correspondent providing hilarious grooming advice to unsuspecting airline passengers and churchgoers. His other national television appearances
include the award-winning series The Savages, The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Lopez Tonight, Tim Meadows’ The Very Funny Show, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Showtime's Comics
without Boarders, Comics Unleashed and Hollywood Uncensored. He is also a popular guest on such ground-breaking podcasts as WTF with Marc Maron.
While perfecting his routine on the stand-up circuit, Sebastian captured the attention of award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn who selected him to be one of the four featured
comedians in the critically acclaimed film Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show. “Performing with Vince every night for a month was the best time of my life,” Sebastian recalls.
With hilarious appearances from other renowned comedians: Justin Long, Jon Favreau, Dwight Yoakam and Keir O'Donnell, the film became an instant cult success.
Throughout his diverse career, Sebastian has worked with many other entertainment legends including Prince, BB King, Al Green, Anita Baker, and Gladys Knight. In 2009, Sebastian completed an
international USO tour for the troops where he performed in Guam, Fuji, Misawa, Iwakuni and Hiroshima. His sold-out shows at the Dubai Comedy Festival and Lebanon's Music Hall have solidified
him as an international sensation.
Sebastian currently resides in Los Angeles where he can be found eating plates of pasta at Maggianos and working out new material at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard. In his spare time,
Sebastian enjoys traveling, golf, cooking and fashion. He is active in various charities benefiting The Foundation for Fighting Blindness and Hurricane Katrina.

Bill Burr is one of the top comedic voices of his generation achieving success in TV and film as well as the live stage.
Having first gained notoriety for his recurring role on the second season of Chappelle's Show, Burr developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular
performer on the Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien (and later became the first stand-up comedian to perform on “The Tonight Show with
Conan O'Brien”).
Burr's first hour special, Bill Burr: Why Do I Do This? premiered on Comedy Central in the fall of 2008 to rave reviews, and is now available on CD and DVD. Burr's first CD,
Emotionally Unavailable: Expanded Edition, was released by What Are Records? His third hour-long comedy special, You People Are All The Same, premiered on Netflix on August 16
and is now available for download through his website. Bill was seen again this summer in his recurring role on the hit AMC-TV show, Breaking Bad, and he recently finished filming
the Paul Feig film, The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy and the Al Pacino and Christopher Walken film, Stand Up Guys. His two critically acclaimed hour-long
Comedy Central specials are available on Netflix and DVD.

Comedian, actor, radio host and best selling author, Jay Mohr has been performing stand-up comedy since he was sixteen years old. With a career that
has spanned over three decades, Jay has become an artist that is very difficult to define. Never wanting to rest on his accomplishments, Jay has always pushed himself to be
more than just a comic.
After landing his dream job of Saturday Night Live, it appeared as though Jay had reached the height of comedic success. Little did he know that just three years later, he
would be cast opposite Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire and that same year co-star with Jennifer Anniston in Picture Perfect. Now the world that knew “comedian Jay”
was quickly introduced to the “actor Jay.” Never wanting to choose one career over the other, Mohr has brilliantly balanced both acting and stand-up comedy as
roommates in his brain.
Additionally, he has continuously added other genres to his journey and wrote the best selling book Gasping for Airtime about his time on SNL and his battle with panic attacks
throughout his tenure on the show. To this day the book remains a must read for both fans of the show, followers of Jay, as well as people who suffer from social anxiety,
depression and panic disorders.
On a much lighter note, Jay's second book was the hilarious, No Wonder My Parents Drank, which describes in painful and beautifully funny detail the pros and cons of parenthood...
which was subsequently optioned by ABC for development of a sitcom based on its content.
In the radio world, Jay is a regular guest host on the nationally syndicated Jim Rome Show as well as a regular contributor on the highest rated radio shows in the country, with
multiple stints on Kevin and Bean and Opie and Anthony...just to name a few.
Jay Mohr is the rarest of entertainers. After 25 films and starring in his own groundbreaking series produced by Joel Silver and the late Ted Demme (Action) he recently starred
in the CBS scripted comedy Gary Unmarried, which was critically acclaimed and was on for two seasons.
Jay has guest starred in over 50 different television dramas and comedy series episodes, but his most recent turn on an episode of Dick Wolf's Law and Order: Criminal Intent as a
Charlie Sheen type character ripped from the headlines, has garnered him the most attention and respect. “He's really good” said Wolf, “it's kind of odd because
he is known as a comic and this is a highly dramatic role that a lot of dramatic actors would have had a very hard time eschewing and he does a great job.” He added “...you
know, it's like if you're playing tennis against a club champion, you're game should go up...the better the competition the better the game...and I think Jay really came to
play.”
Throughout his journey, Jay still loves performing stand-up comedy—it's in his blood, his bones and his DNA. Anyone that has ever seen one of his concerts will be quick to tell
you that there is no one better. Comedy Central agrees, having named Mohr one of the 100 greatest stand-up comics of all time. A simple bio doesn't do the stage show justice...as there
are no notes, no two shows the same, and an act that never picks on the audience. These are the three tenets that Jay believes makes great live comedy, and the foundation is laid when
Jay often tells his audiences, “Lets just jump off a cliff together and build our wings on the way down!”

After his renowned four year run on Saturday Night Live (becoming best known for his original character "Goat Boy" and his impression of actor Joe Pesci, resulting
in the recurring "Joe Pesci Show" sketch) and starring role in the cult classic movie "Half Baked" alongside Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer was propelled into superstardom.
With many accolades including Comedy Central's “100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time,” Breuer is currently one of the top touring comedians in the country. His one-hour Comedy Central special,
“Let's Clear the Air” premiered last year with hilarious topics including what “success” really is, the SNL days, and life with his elderly parents, his wife and three daughters.
“Let's Clear the Air” ranked in as one of the highest rated specials on Comedy Central raking in over 1 million viewers with an astounding 100% retention rate.
Breuer continued touring through 2010 while still writing his book, “I'm Not High (But I've Got a Lot of Crazy Stories about Life as a Goat Boy, a Dad, and a Spiritual Warrior),” released October
2010 to rave reviews and record breaking sales. In addition to his regular guest appearances on the Howard Stern Show, and his own weekly Sirius show, “Friday's with Jim Breuer”
(which airs every Friday 4–6pm EST ), Jim has an enormous and regular listenership, and with only two episodes released, his new podcast, “The Podcast Masters” has already climbed the
iTunes charts to top 20, and #8 in on the comedy charts.
His appearances include several stints on NBC's “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,” as well as roles in numerous movies including “Dick,” “Once in the Life,”
“Beer League,” and “The Zookeeper” with Kevin James. Fans adoringly describe Breuer's multigenerational family comedy as the modern day Bill Cosby, if he was wearing a Metallica t-shirt.

Pablo Francisco is a Chilean-American comedian who began his career in comedy at an open mic competition at the age of 17 in Tempe, Arizona. One of Pablo Francisco's comedy styles is his ability to
do impressions of celebrities: stars such as Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Busey, and Michael J. Fox, among others. Other talents are the sound effects Pablo can create; such as beat boxing and imitating
the voices of fictional characters such as Count Dracula, R2-D2 and Kermit the Frog.
When Pablo Francisco hits the stage, he immediately brings his audiences to their feet with boisterous laughter and applause. He weaves together his arsenal of characters, spontaneous outbursts, and clever insights
to create a standup show that more resembles an hour-long comedic jazz riff. He is an off-the-wall, animated character that points out the absurdity in an illogical pop-culture obsessed world.
Pablo's own critically acclaimed One Hour Special on Comedy Central entitled “OUCH!” continues to stay on the network's most requested list. In addition to his Comedy Central specials, Pablo has made
appearances on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, FOX's “MadTV”, “Mind of Mencia”, “The Family Guy”, and TBS's “Frank TV”.

Born in Queens and raised on Long Island, Dave Attell got into stand-up comedy in the late eighties after graduating from New York University with a degree in Film and Television. Attell used this prestigious
degree to land amazing jobs in the food service industry - as a waiter. At night he would hit the “open mic” circuit in Manhattan. After many years, Attell worked his way up through the club scene
onto the road, touring across America as a national headliner and developing a huge following among fans and the industry alike.
Dave Attell was named one of the “25 Funniest People in America” by Entertainment Weekly Magazine. His caustic wit, rapid-fire delivery and his choice of material that can best be described as “very adult”
has earned him the reputation as a “comic's comic.” But if you ask Attell, he'd say, “I'm just trying to get some laughs and sell some drinks.”
In 2001, Attell used this love of booze and laughter to create and host the hit series, “Insomniac with Dave Attell” for Comedy Central. A travelogue show in which Attell goes from city to city looking for late-night
fun, The New York Times called the show, “a doubly rare beast, a comedy without rancor and a travel show about the virtues of the American underdog.” To Attell, the Insomniac show is more of a cross between
“Girls Gone Wild” and “Cops”.
After four seasons of “Insomniac,” Attell taped several hour-long “Insomniac” specials overseas in Japan, Germany, England and Brazil. Once back in the states, he headed out on a thirty-five city theatre
tour ending in Vegas, where he hosted a two-hour special for Comedy Central featuring Sean Rouse, Greg Geraldo and Dane Cook, some of the biggest comics in the country.
Dave Attell has made numerous appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,” “The Howard Stern Show,”

Development,” NBC's “Ed,” HBO, Comedy Central's “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” and his own half-hour stand-up special “Comedy Central Presents Dave Attell.”
