**Headline: Maniscalco Crashes His Own Impression Contest in Atlantic City**
**Atlantic City, NJ** – Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco surprised contestants and audience members alike at an “Sebastian Maniscalco Impression Contest” held Friday night at Nola’s Bar & Lounge inside the Ocean Casino Resort. The event, which was part of the resort’s celebration of Maniscalco’s two-week residency and “It Ain’t Right” tour stop, featured several impersonators vying for the title by mimicking the comedian’s signature gestures, facial expressions, and iconic bits.
Contestants showcased their best Maniscalco, complete with leather jackets, black jeans, and even the famous “Chipotle” routine. However, the biggest surprise came when Maniscalco himself walked on stage to announce the winner: Mark Maggi, a convincing look-alike who has been told for years about his resemblance to the comedian.
“Very talented and I thought I was looking into a mirror,” Maniscalco said of Maggi. Maggi said he doesn’t even have to try. “The scary part is, I act just like this.”
The Ocean Casino Resort is fully embracing the Maniscalco experience. In addition to his eight upcoming shows, a retail pop-up store featuring the comedian’s merchandise is available, and Ocean Steak & Linguini by the Sea is serving a special menu of “Sebastian’s Favorite Things,” including meatballs and spicy rigatoni. There’s even a custom cocktail, “The ‘It Ain’t Right’ Manhattan.”
Maniscalco, a stand-up veteran known for his physical comedy and storytelling, will be performing at Ocean Casino Resort through his two-week residency. Tickets are available on the casino’s website.
