I know it's been discussed in this thread but to be frank, I'm too lazy to go through and find it. Jerry Seinfeld is performing in SLC on May 31st. The tickets aren't unaffordable, but with my recent job change, I'll take a bigger hit. Anyway, I'm looking for anyone here who has seen him to chime in. When did you see him? Was the material old material? I gotta be honest, as much as I love Seinfeld, I'm not too fond of the idea of going to see him live and hearing the same jokes I've heard from him before just to say I saw him live... if that makes sense.

Giddy up.

I saw him back in 2008 when the MGM at Foxwoods had just opened up. Tix were a gift... I didnt want to drop that much coin to see him either. Show was funny as hell and I would not have been disappointed if I had spent the money myself. It was all new-unheard material. From what I understand... he's pretty big on not repeating his jokes, so I think if this is his first round of shows in your area this year, then its probably new stuff. He's got some sort of residency going on w/ the MGM at Foxwoods now... He comes in May & December for a few shows every year... and I think that its the same material for the May & December shows, but then the next year its new stuff.

I'd say if you havent seen him live yet, its totally worth it. And its not like he has a bunch of live specials out there or anything, so seeing any repeat jokes are highly unlikely.

I think he "buried" the old stuff from the show in his special, "I'm Telling You For the Last Time" (highly recommend watching it if you haven't). He's been working on some new material on Letterman and Leno; mainly, his PopTart bit, which is really funny.

I definitely need to get myself to one of his Foxwoods shows.

I have seen "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" and really enjoyed it. When I watched it I did recognize that some jokes were repeats from the show. Nevertheless they were still funny.

I'd really love to go see him but considering that I just made a job switch and such I'm not sure if I'll be able to swing the cost of the tickets.

seeing him live almost crippled me physically. I laughed so fucking hard I nearly blew my diaphragm.

Susan: And you didn't expect me to be holding hands with a woman.
George: Oh, please! Me? C'mon! That's great! Are you kidding? I think that's fantastic! I've always encouraged experimentation! I'm the first guy in the pool! Who do you think you're talking to?
Susan: I know who I'm talking to.
George: Of course you do. It's just, uh, y'know, I, I never knew, uh, that, uh...
Susan: I liked women?
George: There you go. So, uh, how long has this been going on?
Susan: Since you and I broke up.

The writing in this is top-notch and some of the best I've ever heard.

[Setting: A photographer's studio]

(George is holding out his hands while a man and woman marvel at them. A photographer is fooling around with a camera towards the right wall)

MAN: I've never seen hands like these before..

WOMAN: They're so soft and milky white.

PHOTOGRAPHER: You know who's hands they remind me of? (Pauses for effect) Ray McKigney.

(The woman nods as the man looks off into space)

MAN: Ugh.. Ray.

PHOTOGRAPHER: He was it.

GEORGE: Who was he?

PHOTOGRAPHER: The most exquisite hands you've ever seen.. Oh, he had it all.

GEORGE: (Hands still out, even though they've stopped looking at them) What happened to him?

(Obviously a touchy subject, the woman coyly walks over to the photographer, and they both occupy themselves. The man is left to tell George the answer to his question)

MAN: (Clears throat) Tragic story, I'm afraid. He could've had any woman in the world.. but none could match the beauty of his own hand.. and that became his one true love..

(Long pause)

GEORGE: You mean, uh..?

MAN: Yes. he was not.. master of his domain.

GEORGE: (Makes a gesture saying he understands. The man nods) But how.. uh..?

MAN: (Quick, to the point) The muscles.. became so strained with.. overuse, that eventually the hand locked into a deformed position, and he was left with nothing but a claw. (Holds hand up, displaying a claw-like shape) He traveled the world seeking a cure.. acupuncturists.. herbalists.. swamis.. nothing helped. Towards the end, his hands became so frozen the was unable to manipulate utensils, (Visibly disgusted by this last part) and was dependent on Cub Scouts to feed him. I hadn't seen another pair of hands like Ray McKigney's.. until today. You are his successor. (George looks down at his hands) I.. only hope you have a little more self-control.

GEORGE: (Smiling to himself) You don't have to worry about me. (Nodding, gloating) I won a contest.

(The man nods, unsure of what to say or do)

PHOTOGRAPHER: Ok, let's get to work.

(Scene ends)

Listen to the bell, Grossbard. It tolls for thee.

Jerry: like the Batman villain?
George: if that helps you
