I laughed a lot during "Jerry Before Seinfeld."

There might not be any earth-shattering revelations about his rise to fame, but there's still enough to excite a comedy super-fan's interest.

Seinfeld works the cramped stage of his old haunt with not only the effortless and inevitable confidence of the old pro and cultural touchstone he is, but with an enthusiasm belying any hint of obligation.

Here is a comic performance that's from the ages, and for the ages. It doesn't get any better than this.
