Stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has found unique ways to balance his roles as a parent and a performer. With his wife Lana Gomez, he has a daughter Serafina Simone, 7, and a son Caruso Jack, 5. Maniscalco's comedy shows often involve his kids, and they have their own experiences with it.

His Kids and Comedy Shows

Maniscalco's kids truly enjoy coming to his shows. As he tells PEOPLE, "They really enjoy coming to my shows. Although my son just fell asleep at the last show he was at." It's a humbling experience when he looks into the audience and sees his son knocked out. This shows the special bond between a parent and their child even in the midst of a busy career.

He also shared that being on the road and trying to parent through FaceTime has been a challenge. But he is grateful for his great kids who understand what Daddy does.

Tying the Knot and Marriage

Maniscalco tied the knot with Gomez in 2013 and they celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary over the summer. He mentioned that being on the road adds a newness to their relationship. When he comes home, they are really happy to see each other. He humorously added, "Listen, 44 hours, seven days a week. I'm not knocking that. But after a while you look at the other person and go, 'Are you going to leave the house soon?'"

This shows the impact of his busy career on his marriage and how they make it work.

Dressing Up Tradition

On Dec. 1, Maniscalco posted a snap of himself and Caruso decked out in fresh suits. He wrote on Instagram, "Back in my day, my parents wouldn't let us leave the house unless we were dressed like we were heading to the Vatican for a private mass. Nowadays, I see kids in pajamas at weddings! Trying to keep the tradition alive with my son here—because dressing for the occasion? That's not just style, it's respect. (Who we kidding……it's all Lana)."

Proud mom Gomez commented, "My sweeties. Luckiest mama and wife." This shows the importance of family values and traditions in their lives.

Maniscalco's career as a comedian started in The Comedy Store in West Hollywood and has taken him to many places. He has been a headliner on many comedy tours and specials, sharing his unique humor with the world. His journey as a parent and a comedian is truly inspiring.
