Jerry Seinfeld Brings Stand-Up Show Back to NYC

By DNAinfo Staff on July 25, 2012 3:13pm

NEW YORK CITY — What's the deal with Seinfeld?

After a long hiatus from live comedy, Emmy-winning funnyman Jerry Seinfeld is back in action, bringing his stand-up comedy routine to New York City this fall.

The former "Seinfeld" star, who chronicled his return to live comedy with the 2002 documentary "Comedian," will perform five stand-up shows, one in each borough of New York City, in October and November.

"I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny. I'm so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved home town," said the comic/actor, in a statement. 

Seinfeld's last official performance in the city was the 1998 Broadway show 'I'm Telling You For The Last Time'.
