Seinfeld - Stand up

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Saw Seinfeld Friday night at the Stranahan Theater.

I was a bit worried as his comedy has always seemed to be a bit sterile and clean. It still was mostly clean, but he did add a bit of an edge talking about terrorists, sex, and actually cursing.

On a side note, for a Jewish guy he sure does say "God Damn" a lot.

One thing I did like was his ability to really connect with the crowd and make it feel that the show was created with them in mind. I've seen a ton of comedians who go into a routine and seem to ignore that the audience is even there.

Anyway, if you get the chance to see him, its worth it.

Oh, and his opening act was Mark Spit or something like that. The wife liked him, but I thought his material was dated and his personality wasn't well suited for the business. The whole time he was on stage I kept hearing Dave Attell saying "That joke is so old it could vote." That became even funnier when he used a Dave Attell joke towards the end of his routine.

I used to watch that Dave Attel show, where he went to different cities to party until dawn, all the time.

Also Seinfeld.

Insomniac is the Dave Attell show. I highly, highly recommend his CD for anyone who likes stand up comedy. It's called Skanks for the Memories, and be warned that it is very much adult in content.

Attel is fucking hilarious.
