Sebastian Maniscalco headlines Northwell at Jones Beach Theater again this summer

Stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has added a Jones Beach stop to his 2026 tour.

Maniscalco will return to Northwell at Jones Beach Theater Aug. 14, reprising his appearance last year. That 2025 show marked his first solo headlining performance at the Wantagh venue.

Maniscalco, who has joked about early gigs playing to single-digit audiences, has in recent years drawn crowds bigger by orders of magnitude — selling out such venues as Elmont's UBS Arena and Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, and drawing fans to TV for his "It Ain’t Right" special, which became Hulu’s No. 1 title last year within 24 hours of its release.

This year's "Sebastian Maniscalco Live" trek will also take the stand-up performer comedian to Las Vegas, Atlantic City (eight dates at the Ocean Casino Resort) and Hollywood, Florida.

In a Newsday interview last year, Maniscalco said that much of his material came from his family life.

"Once I started talking about my family, particularly my father and my upbringing in the Italian household, it began to resonate with a lot of people that weren’t just Italian, but from some sort of foreign background — Spanish, Greek, Asian, what have you," Maniscalco said. "More recently, I’ve been talking about me being a father and getting older. My comedy kind of parallels my life wherever I’m at. I’m not talking about dating anymore because I've been married for many years. I’ve left current events or politics out of my act. I kind of keep things to my own everyday life."

An artist ticket presale begins Tuesday at noon, using code “SEBASTIAN." Additional presales will run throughout the week. The general onsale begins Friday at 10 a.m. at SebastianLive.com.
