Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours To Kill Review - 6 Ups & 3 Downs

9. Up - A Quick Start

The special doesn't start with Seinfeld appearing on stage. And that's completely fine because the intro is quick and sets the tone for his easygoing nature.

Seinfeld has previously released a special on YouTube with an obnoxiously long intro that was strange and completely out of place. Luckily, this introduction where he jumps out of a helicopter into a lake with diving gear on and running to the theatre is brief, on point, and even elicits a chuckle.

Once he does make his appearance into the theatre, the jokes come in fast. It's not a killer opening by any means, but there's enough chuckles to ease the crowd into knowing that Seinfeld is prepared and ready to put his best foot forward.

He leans into his relatable style - maybe too hard. The bit centres around the hassle it is to go out with friends or a significant other. The dialogue hits the mark even if the jokes aren't always laugh-out-loud funny.

It's a good tone setter for what's to come. The audience will be clapping and laughing all the way through, but part of that will be from the fact that they paid money to see Jerry Seinfeld and are fully aware of his brand and want to laugh at his jokes. It won't be ground-breaking, but the audience will ultimately leave satisfied with their experience.
