Is This Anything?

The first book in 25 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 21-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 45 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.
