Comedy fans in New York are even more in luck than usual: Playbill.com and other sources are reporting that Jerry Seinfeld is returning to the city's stages for the first time in 14 years. (Clearly, he wasn't telling us for the last time.)
Seinfeld will perform five stand-up shows – one in each New York City borough – on five Thursday nights this fall. The evenings will feature special guest Colin Quinn, who Seinfeld directed in Broadway's Colin Quinn: Long Story Short at the Helen Hayes Theater in 2010-11.
Tickets for all five shows will go on sale to the general public July 30 at 10 AM ET. All performances begin at 8 PM.
