Another Greek Lesson for Italians

TORONTO – Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco’s autobiographical film About My Father was just added to Netflix Canada this month – a story about families meeting. For those unfamiliar with Maniscalco’s comedy, one of the mainstays of his act involves jokes about how his antiquated father raised him. From descriptions of being put through “slave labour” as a child, to his dad killing garden pests with antifreeze, Sebastian’s father is rarely spared his blushes during the act. It’s edgy, irreverent, but always delivered with love.
