Stay Hungry

This inspiring, honest, uproarious collection of essays traces Sebastian Maniscalco’s career from playing boxing rings and bowling alleys to reaching the pinnacles of comedy success.<BR><BR>At twenty-four, Sebastian Maniscalco arrived in LA with a suitcase and saved up minimum wages. He knew <i>no one</i> and <i>nothing</i> about standup comedy, but he was determined to go for it anyway.<BR> <BR> At forty-four, he’s on the <i>Forbes</i>’ list of highest earning comedians, sells out arenas, and has starred in four hit comedy specials including <i>Why Would You Do That? </i>on Showtime.<BR> <BR> <i>Stay Hungry </i>tells the story of the twenty years in between. On the way from clueless rube to standup superstar, Seb was booed off stages; survived on tips and stolen food; got advice from mentors Andrew Dice Clay, Vince Vaughn, Tony Danza, and Jerry Seinfeld; fell in love; and stayed true to his Italian-immigrant roots. The one code that always kept him going: stay hungry, keep focused, never give up, and one day, you’ll make it.
