Jerry Seinfeld On Comedy [Us Import]

This interview with Jerry Seinfeld offers some useful and interesting insights into how he got started and how he works. Like Stephen King in his book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft Jerry reveals just how much gruelling labour goes into perfecting a few minutes of stand-up. This CD will really appeal to those fascinated by Seinfeld's sprezzatura.

This is an interview with Jerry rather than a performance. I think it is from just before his programme appeared and its about his rise from late-70s open-spots to mainstream success.It's very interesting for any wannabee comic & his committment and professionalism are impressive.The interviewer is annoying initially but his clod-hopping style suits and is amusing after a while.

インタビュー形式なので、一度聞けばいいかなって感じです。I'm telling you "this is the last one"のようなcomedyは期待できません。

I bought this CD along with other comedian's CDs on the topic of comedy, as I write and perform comedy with the hopes of making a living at it someday. I've been a writer in other genres such as science fiction, historical macabre fantasy, contemporary drama and game designs, so I enjoy learning the nuances of the craft of comedy writing.I can tell you there is a reason comedy is king. It's hard to write funny. What I like about Jerry Seinfeld, past all the acclaim he has had for his hit series "Seinfeld", is he knows the importance of writing to the presentation and ultimately audience response.In this CD, he speaks about the topics of stand up, writing, audience and character qualities of comedians he advocates. It is part of a series of CD from Laugh.com, and I have many other greats in my collection. He talks about the importance of working clean, and some of the top comedy consultants echo the importance of this. He talks about how the schedule and working life of a comedian is.If you aspire to write comedy, learn stagecraft, presentation and timing insights, become more aware how a working comic lives the life, then this is a great CD for you. I was so inspired by Jerry Seinfeld, I wrote a film treatment based on his acting the lead, though I am small potatoes, and would have to be pretty savvy to just get to him to pitch it. Even though it is outstanding, hehe!I hope you find this review helpful, for Jerry Seinfeld is a real professional, and there is a lot to learn in this CD if you listen closely. I have listened several times, but then, I need to..Reviewerly yours,Art HermansenThe Lone Comic

As a new comic, I found this CD extremely helpful. Seinfeld communicated so much about the craft in short segments. He gave me some tools to polish my act. However, this cd is not meant to be funny. It is an interview with a comic genius about his craft.

Great product. Arrived when expected.

The comedian and information provided.

I got this product fast and the quality is what I had expected it to be. I was happy I purchased with them.

It was not clear to me that this was just an interview and the CD was a bit of a disappointment. I wish I hadn't purchased it.

Horrible!!! Waste of money!!! How can I get my money back???I ordered three comedy CD's. This was the worst by far. It's a shame that this great comedian's name was affixed to this junk.

I thought it was stand up comedy. Just talking about comedy

Not his best but very good to fill long drives down the highways. It is an acceptable album and is clean
