Has anyone seen Seinfeld live?

Seinfeld is coming to PPAC on 1/21. Tickets are starting at $70 each and will go on sale Saturday morning. I liked the show, I think he's funny. DH is kind of eh. How is he live? Can someone that wasn't the biggest fan of the show enjoy his stand up act? Because I'm not going to go through hoops to get tickets on a Saturday morning if it may not be the best experience.

I saw him several years ago, right after his show went off the air. We enjoyed the live show a lot, but we were huge fans of the TV show. If your husband is only eh, I might caution you to not jump through hoops. His humor is the same live, on and on about nothing, mostly.

I saw him in college for free, before he did "Seinfeld ".

From what I remember it is similiar to his opening of his show. I would go because I like comedians.

That's good to know.
I know DH wants to really see Robin Williams again or George Carlin, but that's big $$$$

I'll see what he thinks

We are big fans of the show, and saw him live this past January in Boston. We were NOT disappointed. He was very funny I had no idea what to expect from a stand-up show after being so used to seeing him on his sitcom. He did a great job, and I think even if a person wasn't the biggest fan of his, they'd still enjoy seeing him.

My husband and I were big fans of the show. We saw him live shortly after Seinfeld went off the air. We thought it was a great show - laugh out loud funny.

DH and I saw him live twice at the same venue a few years apart. He was hilarious both times. My ONLY complaint was that he did do some of the same jokes both times - and I'm not talking about his standard material. Some of his "offhand" comments about the area were identical. I guess he didn't expect people to see him twice at the same place!

Overall though, an excellent show.

Saw him at the Fox in Atlanta a few years back - it wasn't the best. His opening act was better.

Having been to other stand ups since - it is important to have good seats for these things. I have started paying a lot more and buying off of ebay to get seats in the first 5 rows. Makes a BIG difference. If you are half way back, you might as well stay home and listen to a CD of his stand up.
