Comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld is coming to New Zealand.
Paul Dainty, president and CEO of TEG Dainty, expressed his delight in welcoming Seinfeld back to Aotearoa, saying, “We are thrilled to have Jerry Seinfeld return, and to add one Christchurch show to the tour run.
“He is, without a doubt, the world’s most renowned and accomplished stand-up comedian. This tour provides an opportunity for New Zealand audiences to witness the mastery of his craft.”
Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy career took off after his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in 1981.
Eight years later, he teamed up with fellow comedy genius Larry David to create what has been dubbed the most successful comedy series in the history of television: Seinfeld.
The show ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning many Emmy, Golden Globe, and People’s Choice awards. Seinfeld was named the greatest television show of all time in 2009 by TV Guide and in 2012 it was voted as the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll.
Seinfeld - the show about nothing.
His latest Emmy-nominated Netflix projects include Jerry Before Seinfeld and 23 Hours to Kill along with the highly acclaimed web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Seinfeld has also starred in, written, and produced movies (Comedian, Bee Movie), directed, and produced a Broadway hit (Colin Quinn Long Story Short), and wrote three best-selling books (Is this Anything?, Seinlanguage, and The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book) and a children’s book (Halloween).
He is also set to star in the upcoming comedy film, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which he directed, co-wrote, and produced.
