Jerry Before Seinfeld

Listen, i know he had a big part to play in the show Seinfeld, which isn't one of my favorites by far, but let's be clear - jerry seinfeld is just NOT a good comedian. He's actually really bad at being a stand up comic. Always was. The material in this one could be the worst of his career and that's honestly saying a lot. The crowd seems to be laughing just because they are starstruck at seeing jerry seinfeld in such a small, cozy venue, and i know i can't prove it, but i just KNOW they all walked out of that place that night and turned to their significant other and was like, "yeah, i was pretty disappointed. I thought he'd be funnier"

The good thing about Jerry Seinfeld is that he never disappoints. In Jerry Before Seinfeld not only you get a stand-up comedy but also a little story about where he began his career and how it brought him this far. Jerry Seinfeld has it from his observational humor, telling stories about day-to-day things in a manner nobody else thinks about. Sometimes you have to think a bit about his humor but it's always good and well thought of. To me Jerry Seinfeld is always entertaining, he has a good stage presence and a good sense of humor, and never fails to deliver. Maybe not his best show ever but certainly good enough for me.

American stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld revisits the Comic Strip club, a small nightclub where he cut his teeth as a comic in 1976 before going on to international success as actor, comedian, producer and director. The material is pleasingly nostalgic and funny and one gets the feeling that the secret to his success has been down to his sunny disposition and laid back persona.

It can be sad. Or it can be a moment from where you can draw conclusion for your future life. Jerry is an artist that wins the audience over since the moment he goes on stage and that is, arguably, more profound than any other comedian. This appearance is a goodbye to the stage life and a welcome to his post-showbiz life. To conclude, Jerry is an artist that knew when to quit and left a legacy that can't be topped.

I loved this! Jerry back to his roots. If you were expecting new material you apparently didn't read the title of the show. However, I didn't see Seinfeld before his show so most of this was all new to me. Love how the early jokes ended up being one of the most successful TV shows of all time.

Jerry Seinfeld is definitely a seasoned stand-up comedian, for sure. But he is just not all that funny,. And that is a statement that I will stick to. In fact, I didn't even laugh once throughout this hour of comedy. all he managed to get was some smiles here and there. His material in terms of jokes and punchlikes is well thought through, but it just was a swing and a miss as in regards my sense of humor. He was funny in the "Seinfeld" show, and that is why I decided to sit down to watch the "Jerry Before Seinfeld" stand-up comedy show. And with it now seen, then I can honestly say that I am in no way motivated to go sit down and watch his other stand-up comedy shows.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld does a stand-up gig at The Comic Strip in New York, the club where he delivered his first stand-up performance. He recounts his youth, growing up in New York, his early career and his family, all told in inimitable Seinfeld fashion. A great Jerry Seinfeld stand-up routine: hilariously funny with his usual off-beat observations on everyday things. The fact that he is talking about his own life makes the routine all the more personal and engaging. Add in the fact that the venue is the club where everything started for him and the sentimentality and history starts to pile up. Great special.

People who are expecting new material will be disappointed. The title says it all. These are glimpses or insights into a part of Jerry before he became THE SEINFELD. It is shown in fragments of him on stage as well providing us reels of him as a child, how his family is, just a normal kid. Perhaps it will be easier for the new viewer not to take things too literally and get to know him a bit. Which is the purpose of this docuspecial anyways. It is interesting to take into account that Jerry the normal kid became such a megacomedian if say you want to compare him to other superstar comedians who came from the slums, poverty and the likes. His normalcy gave him an edge, clean cut you may say but a funny genius nonetheless.
