Sebastian Maniscalco

Comedic powerhouse Sebastian Maniscalco will return to Grand Sierra Resort and Casino (GSR) on Thursday, Aug. 19 as part of his ”Nobody Does This” tour. Maniscalco, who has been heralded by The New York Times as “America’s hottest comic,” will take the stage inside Reno’s acclaimed Grand Theatre at 7 p.m.

Tickets for Sebastian Maniscalco’s “Nobody Does This” tour at GSR go on sale Friday, May 14 at 10 a.m. and start at $45, plus additional taxes and fees. Fan presale tickets will be available beginning Thursday, May 13 at 10 a.m. PT through 10 p.m. PT. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit grandsierraresort.com or call 1-800-648-3568.

Touted as “the comedian’s comedian” by PEOPLE Magazine, Maniscalco finds himself “at the vanguard of a live comedy revolution,” according to Pollstar. The man NBC Nightly News called “comedy’s new superstar” is showing no signs of slowing down.

Not only has the star power of Maniscalco rocketed upward in the past few years thanks to shows described by Billboard as “devastatingly full force comedy,” but also due to his high-energy Netflix Original special, “Stay Hungry,” now streaming. The special, which was taped over a span of five sold-out shows at the legendary Radio City Music Hall, had Maniscalco playing for a total of 28,312 longtime fans and early believers in his unique comedic voice.

Vulture recently said of the entertainer’s journey to success, “Maniscalco, without a breakout TV or film role, built a tremendous fan base the old-fashioned way: one joke at a time, one audience at a time.” Although he may not have started his career in film, Maniscalco’s loyal fans will continue to see more acting roles from him, following a performance opposite Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.”

Enhancements to the resort’s health and safety protocols were developed in collaboration with health experts. GSR Clean furthers the resort’s already rigorous sanitation protocols as well as implements social distance considerations and hundreds of additional practices to minimize risk for guests and team members.
