Get ready for Jerry Before Seinfeld

Jerry Before Seinfeld, acclaimed comedian-actor Jerry Seinfeld’s first stand-up special for Netflix, will be launched worldwide on September 19. The Seinfeld co-creator signed a deal with the streaming website in January, which included two stand-up specials and 24 new episodes of his Emmy-nominated talk show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. 

The deal, which will also see old episodes of Comedians moving from Crackle to Netflix, kicks off later this year. As part of the release date announcement of Jerry Before Seinfeld, Netflix on Tuesday unveiled several videos from the special on Instagram as well as up-close looks at Seinfeld’s material.

The hour-long special, Jerry Before Seinfeld, will see the comedian return to New York’s The Comic Strip — the club that helped launch his career. 

The set will be interspersed with never-before-seen material, including an extensive library of legal pads containing every joke Seinfeld has written since 1975 as well as childhood videos. As part of his set, Seinfeld will perform the jokes that helped ignite his career. — IANS
