| - I'm a little perplexed as to how to write my review for Jerry Seinfeld's show at Caesar's Palace. Reason being is that I won my 2 show tickets (along with my 2-night stay at the Octavius Tower) from KOST1035. Free makes everything 5 stars! I'll try to type something from the viewpoint of an actual paying customer. Here goes-
Having not watched Seinfeld ever, even though it was part of NBC's "Must See TV" lineup, I wasn't familiar with his style of comedy. I've seen Jerry on TV every now & again, but nothing substantial to where I can form an opinion on him as a comedian.
The Colosseum was the show location, the same place where Celine Dion performs. I forgot the name of the opening act comedian (something Schmidt), but he killed. I actually thought he was funnier than Jerry Seinfeld. He made witty observations about subjects such as his mother, the 99 cent only stores and doctor's appointments. He supposedly is a regular on "The Tonight Show", but I haven't seen late night talk shows in a long, long time. His set was short, but definitely wasn't filler.
Jerry himself also killed. He made hilarious observations on relationships, marriage, kids, coffee and even restroom stalls. He didn't resort to foul language or gross-out humor, which is a plus for me. Shows more creativity. I LOL'ed many, many times and felt great doing so. After his set, he came back out & had a mini Q&A session. Jerry was a class-act that evening.
I checked the price for tickets at Tix4Tonight when buying tickets for Donny & Marie, and they were being sold for $66. For that price, I would recommend attending Jerry Seinfeld's show. However for the regular $125+, I would pass. I enjoy comedy, but not for that much money. I'd rather see a musical act, Cirque du Soleil or impersonators for that money. However, I did enjoy my evening and still have some of his one-liners in my head.
Excelsior!
