Summary
The first book in twenty-five years from Jerry Seinfeld features his best work across five decades in comedy.
Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub Catch a Rising Star as a twenty-one-year-old student in autumn of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. 'Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas – the big yellow legal pad – I kept it in one of those old-school accordion folders,' Seinfeld writes. 'So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.'
For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favourite material, organised decade by decade. In page after hilarious page, one brilliantly crafted observation after another, listeners will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

Every Jerry Seinfeld joke, in linear order
If you love JS, you'll love listening to him tell you basically all of his most popular jokes through the ages. A great book for budding comics too, will leave you thinking... How does he come up with a joke for every subject??

Just jokes@the end! The LONG end! Start's the best
Was expecting more stories not just stand up, nor that there's anything wrong with that, well, Jerry, this time, there is!
👉🏾 Tjr stories were good and i wanted/felt this book would be littered with them throughout, alas not. Giddy up!

An easy listen
The format is a little formulaic, which jars at first and will make you think that the next few hours are going to be a slog. But once you allow this pattern to settle, it becomes an enjoyable easy listen that you can dip in and out of. The material is great and there's bound to be plenty of stuff here that makes you smile.

I must step in here . . .
I must step in here - ignore the bad reviews.
I am a British comedy connoisseur & I believe Seinfeld to be the best sitcom of all time.
But admittedly I had never fully got why Jerry Seinfeld is held in such high regard as a stand-up - until this audiobook.
Being British I have simply not been able to follow his stand-up career*. This book allowed me to chronologically follow his career in terms of his favourite bits of writing coupled with background information.
I really like the way Jerry reads his bits out - it had my cracking up in public.
How much would it cost to pay Jerry to spend over 6 hours taking you through his career and performing the cream of his material? I mean one on one?
This book does that for at a fraction of the cost. I am really grateful for the book. It feels like Jerry is talking to you just like he would if you met him and he went through all of this especially for you.
I now finally fully 'get' Jerry's style and can better appreciate his work, career and indeed the sitcom.
Bravo.
* Lots - well most - of this material was new to me.

No Jerry, it's not...
This was fine. It was an okay listen, the claim it's mostly unheard material isn't true, I'd heard a lot of the later stuff before. The early stuff wasn't very good. It was a very comfortable listen but not quite as funny as I'd hoped.

This is something
I would have given this six stars but the narrated headings can be annoying. This is pure comedy gold from the master of his craft.
