    I worked at an Improv comedy club for several years about 10 or 12 years ago. Of all the comedians that performed there that I had no knowledge of before they showed up, Sebastian Maniscalco was hands down my favorite. This was around the time when he was doing his Whats Wrong With People material. Which I think was his best show. I remember the first 2 nights he was there performing, I had the hardest time doing my duties, because I kept pausing to watch Sebastian just straight up killing it. I worked Friday and Saturday, and had Sunday off, at which time I got as many friends and family as I could to go see him for his Sunday show. And a few years later, after I had left the Improv, Sebastian came there again, and I once again got as many friends and family that I could to go see him again. Man he was good. I got to talk to him some when I was working at the Improv. A really nice personable guy to talk to.

      @@muzic5553 It's not gross. It's accurate. Neal has openly talked about this on a few podcasts. We all love Neal and that's why we are here listening to him. He has a very honest approach to things, which is reflective of him as a person and a comedian. No back handed compliments here.
      Given his amount of pure talent and how he weaves cultural insight (with humor) into very serious topics...one would assume it to be a fair critique that the he's underrated.
