Show Reviews
“And he hit on the material that hits home — his personal life, his 14-year marriage and three kids. He talked about the ways parenting has changed (“You know what my bedtime story was growing up? Darkness.”) and he acknowledged the never-ending game show lighting round that wives often put their husbands through (“I’ll take details from a conversation that we had at three in the morning eight months ago for $500.”)” – Sarah Pelissero of CBS Minnesota
“After a rapid-fire 75-minute set, Seinfeld didn’t make the audience wait for an encore. He ran offstage and quickly returned. “I was just over there,” he said. “I was literally standing right over there.” He capped off the night by opening up a Q&A to the audience. A question about the potential for aSeinfeld reunion came first. “It’s possible…once all four careers are completely in the toilet,” he mused. “We are working on that as we speak.” – Jake Malooley of TimeOut
“Wearing an expensive-looking suit and a plastic smile, Mr. Seinfeld, 58, is at an enviable place in life. He’s rich, famous and respected. But for a comic who describes himself as being “born” in 1976, when he passed the audition for theComic Strip club in Manhattan, the place he really needs to go remains the stage. You can tell as soon as he employs his signature singsongy cadence that he’s at home.” – Jason Zinoman of the New York Times
