There is no uncertainty when buying tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld perform stand up, regardless of the American sitcom ending after nine seasons. There are no contemplations on whether to attend or not because of the lack in confidence of a good performance. Despite the large span of fourteen years since the show ended, Seinfeld will always manage to make you laugh--- forget the Seinfeld Curse. I was fortunate enough to attend the first show tonight, and as expected, it was worth every penny.
Seinfeld took the stage at Sony Centre for Performing Arts tonight, performing two shows. Opening act was Chuck Martin, director and writer (Arrested Development, Bee Movie). After Martin's set, lights dimmed and before the audience knew it, Seinfeld ran across the stage.
The show was nothing less than the expected--- hilarious. Comedians can go on about general topics and make them funny without what seems, any effort. However, Seinfeld picks out punch lines about water, of all things, at a degree that no other comedians could reach. He tackled smart phones, twitter/facebook, public washrooms, marriage and topics that were relatable to the audience, yet in hilarious perspectives they were oblivious to.
The show ended with clapping and cheering, and with the audience on their feet.
Jerry Seinfeld performs two more shows in Ottawa in June, then more shows throughout July and August of this year in the U.S. (Nevada, Connecticut, New Jersey).
