Is this Anything?

De: Jerry Seinfeld

Narrado por: Jerry Seinfeld

The first book in twenty-five years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s 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 college student in fall 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 favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Gold, Jerry! This audiobook is pure gold! In that one-of-a-kind unforgettable voice, Seinfeld explores 45 years of comedy bits, sorted by decade. Each section begins with a jazzy interlude and a brief introduction narrated by Fiona Hardingham. In what is hours of pure entertainment, Seinfeld's timing is, of course, perfect, and the familiar way that he narrates creates a unique level of intimacy. Listeners will feel like they're in the front row of a show as they imagine Seinfeld's quirky facial expressions and wild hand gestures. Whether they consume this treasure a little at a time or binge-listen, the entire audiobook is one Seinfeld fans won't want to miss."

not a memoir...

So the book is hilarious! Jerry is great narrating his material but this is not a memoir at all. it's just bits from his stand up performances. they are short, sweet, and very funny! if you love Seinfeld's humor then this book is a must!

This was Something

Jerry reading it was the best delivery of laughter 🤣.
I'll listen again because I laughed thru some bits.

Yes, this is something...good

This would not be the same if I had read it myself, really needs Jerry's voice and tone. just because I recognize some of the older material doesn't mean it still isn't classic and very funny.

Beats all expectations !!

Didn't expect to be laughing so much after seen all the stand ups many times! Nice break during the otherwise numbing quarantine :)

Hilarious

Even if you have already heard some of these jokes before-still hilarious! Love JERRY
