Saw him about a year ago at the Saenger.

I was entertained, and I laughed a lot.

His material, however, is a lot more centered around how he's old now and he doesn't understsand kids these days and jokes that you'd have to be around his age to fully relate to.

I still enjoyed the show, but his jokes reflect the fact that he's no longer in his early 30's like he was on the show.

We saw him a few years ago.

Very quick minded and alert. It's like you could see him processing what jokes would work so they would land with the crowd.

He knows that he has talent and can really read an audience.

That said, my wife has always said he's perfected the image of what a Jewish man is in a WASPs mind and I have to agree with that.

What's the deal with you asking a relatively reasonable question?

If I were you, I'd reach watch some of his stand-up on YouTube, then make your own decision.

Haven't been to one of his stand ups but have only heard good things from those who have.

Has anyone seen Seinfeld's standup


I've seen him twice, most recently about 5 years ago.

I enjoyed it and would definitely go again, just be warned that he is a human and ages like the rest of us, so it's not like he's gonna wear jeans and sneakers with big hair circa 1994 and act like he's on the seinfeld set. A lot of his material was based around current events, but was very much enjoyable. He also opened it up to the audience at the end for questions, and of course everyone only wanted to ask about seinfeld. I wonder if he ever gets tired of that.

Didn't both Seinfeld and Chris Rock say they no longer perform on college campuses because of that?

I saw him about 10 years ago. One of his lines went like this... "Girls, let me let you in on a little secret. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to go to your wedding." I never watched his show, but I have been a fan since that routine.

When I saw him several years ago in Birmingham his opening line was "man! how do you people handle the excitement of living in birmingham?"

I saw him a few years ago in Baton Rouge. I'm a huge fan of the show and thought his stand up was good too

Saw him a few years ago at River Center. During Q&A I got the first question. Here it is " Beatles or Stones"? Guess his answer.

I was surprised, he said Beatles. Would have pegged him as a Stones man.

He is fly-by-night and will never make it in the long run.
