'Jerry Before Seinfeld' Trailer: Discover A Comedy Legend

It’s hard to imagine the world of contemporary stand-up comedy without Jerry Seinfeld. The comedian has blazed the path that so many others have followed, turning his stand-up show into a defining sitcom, and then after that wrapped up, he continued on the stage, while also launching his online series, “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.”  Essentially, Seinfeld showed everybody else who to become a brand, and expand their talents into other mediums, and how he’s jumping to Netflix where he’ll likely change the game again.

Jerry Before Seinfeld” explains itself in the title, as it combines a new stand-up special, with the comedy legend going back to his roots, and showing where his act and career all began. So it’s a docu-stand-up-show, and certainly, it should be fascinating for fans of Seinfeld. Here’s the synopsis:

Jerry Seinfeld returns to The Comic Strip for an intimate stand-up set at the club that helped launch his career. Interspersed with never-before-seen material — including a library of legal pads with every joke he’s written since 1975, childhood videos, and more — Jerry performs the jokes that put him on the comedy map in an hour-long stand-up special, only on Netflix.

“Jerry Before Seinfeld” lands on September 19th.
