About this listen
The first book in 25 years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s best work across five decades in comedy.
Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a 21-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from 45 years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”
For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

"Gold, Jerry! This audiobook is pure gold! In that one-of-a-kind unforgettable voice, Seinfeld explores 45 years of comedy bits, sorted by decade. Each section begins with a jazzy interlude and a brief introduction narrated by Fiona Hardingham. In what is hours of pure entertainment, Seinfeld's timing is, of course, perfect, and the familiar way that he narrates creates a unique level of intimacy. Listeners will feel like they're in the front row of a show as they imagine Seinfeld's quirky facial expressions and wild hand gestures. Whether they consume this treasure a little at a time or binge-listen, the entire audiobook is one Seinfeld fans won't want to miss." (Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award, AudioFile Magazine)

Loved it!
A chronological performance of all his jokes. Subjects introduced by a female actor with a British accent is the perfect contrast for Seinfeld's Brooklyn speak!

Not what I thought it would be.
i went into this thinking it would be a look back at Seinfeld's career with anecdotes and such. Instead, it's more or less just his entire stand up routine broken up into 400+ clips with a British-sounding lady introducing each one.
This probably would have been better as a podcast or at the very least it did not need all the title introductions coming before Jerry spoke.

Unexpected
This is a collection of Seinfeld’s comedy bits over the years. So, funny stuff. If you are expecting insight into his life, upbringing or creative process, this won’t be the book you were expecting.

Just a collection of jokes
I thought that this would be a book about Seinfeld but it was more of a collection of jokes. Still it was funny.

Disappointed
The content is mostly a re-telling of jokes I've gotten to know very well over many re-watches of the Seinfeld TV show. I was hoping for more story-telling of his career.

Great Deliveries
Jerry re-enacts his old and recent material. Although this is an audio book, Jerry Seinfeld's deliveries were genuine and funny!
