Take your problems about life, relationships, employment and 'whatever ticks you off at the moment', and place them into a comedy blender. Invite Wayne Manigo to be your comedian bartender. He will deliver jokes in a 'high energy comedy' style as he discusses these topics and everything 'under the sun' to keep the audience engaged.

After a career in IT, Wayne decided to follow his passion and the advice of everyone who ever met him. After performing at his first open mic show, he rapidly advanced to emceeing shows for Tony Woods, Clay Miles, Kevin Lee, and other national touring comedians. After being a participant in Magoogy's 2010 record breaking event for 'Longest Running Comedy Event', Wayne continued to work the road featuring on several comedy showcases.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Wayne also wanted to help the world discover the DC Comedy scene'. In 2011, he co-founded the 'DC Comedy Writers Group' with Mandy Dalton. The group celebrated their 1 year anniversary with a showcase at Riot Act Comedy Theater in 2012. He is also the 'brainchild' behind 'Starting Stand Up: A Comic Beginning'; the annual comedy conference dedicated to helping new comics learn from experienced professionals in the Washington DC area.

In addition to performing comedy, Wayne is the author of the 'Addicted To Comedy' column for Stage Time Magazine. It was created to inspire 'up-and-coming' comedians to become better writers, performers, and develop an understanding about career management. He is currently developing a podcast for the Triangle Variety Radio Network
