Jerry Seinfeld

As part of my Christmas present, Sarah bought us tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld in Madison.  The show was last night, Friday, 9:30 p.m at the Overture Theater.

It was like seeing an old friend that you had not seen in years.  After a short time, you realize he has not changed at all.  The show had what I would call 5 acts, the first being his Observational humor, the second, nostalgia, the third, "new" technology, the fourth, marriage, and the fifth, a wrap of Observational. 

Coming to prominence in the 90s, his takes on cell phones and email make him sound like the 63 year old that he is.   But like Star Wars:  The Force Awakens, he is necessarily hemmed in by what people remember and expect.  He couldn't even bring himself to say "F***"

A good show and a lot of fun.  I never would have seen it otherwise.   Thanks for a great Christmas present and a memorable trip.  Might have well as been on Broadway.
