This guy is so funny! I just randomly picked a sample from YouTube below but that's the thing about Sebastian Maniscalco - everything he does is funny. You can just Google his name and select from any of his appearances on late night tv shows, standup, etc.. His onstage antics are hilarious which puts him the category of one comedian I would want to see in person. Follow him on Instagram. He posts quite a bit with his beautiful wife, Lana.

The movie is not quite as predictable as it seems in the beginning in this very relatable comedy with some deeper-meaning undertones. This is one of those movies you can watch again and again. And laugh again and again. And maybe even cry Read more [...]

Some Good News or SGN, the brainchild of actor, director, and comedian John Krasinski, has been keeping spirits high during the ongoing world pandemic.  As many great creative endeavors go, it started as a very basic attempt to bring warm and fuzzy clips of people being kind to one another with signage and props made by his young daughters. My guess is the first episode budget was about $50 bucks. Occasionally, his actress wife, Emily Blunt (Mary Poppins), will pop in for a segment too. SGN Read more [...]
