Yadda Yadda Yadda... "Jerry Before Seinfeld"

Jerry Before Seinfeld (2017)

TV-14

Starring Jerry Seinfeld

Directed by Michael Bonfiglio

The Story:

In 1975, Jerry Seinfeld began performing at The Comic Strip in New York City. In 1981, he got his big break and made it to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Jerry Seinfeld comes back to the place where it all began and takes us on a trip down memory lane.

Jerry doing stand-up is where many of his older fans will remember him from, long before he became..."Seinfeld".

This hour-long stand up special has Jerry reliving some of his first comic routines along with new material.

In addition, there's some archival footage of Jerry's stand up routines along with home movies of Jerry growing up in New York.

Clearly the special is edited from a much longer night on stage, and that's a shame.

Some of the editing choices seem a bit odd and throw a bit of the timing of the special off, but overall, Jerry is as observant and funny as he's always been.

A Netflix Original, it's now available for streaming.

Final Grade: A-
