Jerry Seinfeld performs for the first time since the pandemic at the Gotham Comedy Club

Jerry Seinfeld he looked like a man who was stuck for a year on Friday night when he christened the Gotham Comedy Club in New York, and the audience “blew up!”

Jerry stopped to speak on the way home, saying that the energy inside was so intense that he felt like he had been electrocuted.

It’s kind of funny … Jerry said – believing – he feared he might have forgotten to stand up so long ago, but it turned out to be like riding a bike, or in Jerry’s case, playing tennis.

And the most interesting comment came when someone asked how the comedy changed in the past year amid the cancellation of the culture. He shot back … “Comedy never changes. It’s funny or not.”

He has a solid argument – comedy elevates people and allows them to swallow their problems for a few hours, and mental health can be our biggest challenge coming out of COVID.

Jerry: “We are all fine, everyone is fine. New York is coming back. I have been to LA, I have been to Florida. There are many great places in this country, but nowhere is like this place. And people who think they are going to get used to it. not to live here … the real New Yorkers will realize that it doesn’t work. Only New York is New York. “

Jerry, a die-hard New Yorker who criticized the comedy club owner last fall for declaring New York dead, said anyone who rescued the city is now full of regret.
