Jerry Seinfeld; Gut-Busting

On yet another beautiful evening in the city of Vancouver, the masses filtered in to the Queen Elizabeth Theater. Jerry Seinfeld performed his comic brilliance over the course of three sold out shows. It was witty and hilarious and brought many to tears throughout the entire set. It was a true comedic master at work.

Starting the night Jerry spoke of the breach of technology into our lives. He delved into the world of cell phones and the specific mannerism of the Blackberry users. Perfectly describing the annoying habits of these textaholics and there rude behavior. How they can be talking to you one second and literally mid sentence, tilt there head down to enter the land of Blackberry Messenger. His take on the subject was a great observation on the shift in our society. Showing our acceptance of unacceptable behavior. He hit the nail on the head and everyone in the crowd howled at the descriptive bit. Then he went on to describe Twitter with this statement, “Why tell something important to a couple people when you can tell absolutely nothing to the whole world”. Again showing his observance of the change in social behavior and our acceptance of technology over proper behaviour.

The next set of thoughts were more based around family and being a father. Describing the role of father as some what of an enigma. Laying out the family design as showing a question mark over the role of what a dad should be. He spoke of how his kids are clear that their mother is the mother and she does womanly things. They are also clear that they are kids and they do kids things. But what does this dad guy do, who is he , where does he go all the time. His views were again hilarious and as usual ingestible en mass. The crowd connected immediately with this point in the set. The scattered over enthusiastic laughter was overpowering and contagious. His ability to connect with his audience is astounding, and shows why he is one of the best comedians in the world.

He finished his set discussing the strangeness of bathroom designs. And asking the question – Why do they build bathrooms out of the most sound resonant material in the world? Going on about the way everyone public restroom amplifies the tiniest noise and makes it sound horrible. He took the piece along and spoke more about the stalls and their poor design. Pointing out the flaw in having large spaces in the doors, allowing the outside eyes to peak into unsuspecting victims. While the audience was in tears, Jerry thanked the room for their time and exited stage right, pretty quickly

His show was amazing, and had everyone bursting at the seem with hilarity. Jerry Seinfeld is truly one of the rare masters of the art. After the show he could be caught signing autographs for fans, bringing him down to earth and making him very likable. The clambering hands of the eager, shoving photos in his face for his hand to scratch at. It was a little aggressive and overwhelming, but soon he was swept away into his limo and taken off into the night. It was a truly great show, by an amazing performer and capped off by his ability to sustain a perfect connection with his fan base.
