The first book in twenty-five years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s best work across five decades in comedy.

Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

Editor's Pick

A career’s worth of jokes
Everyone who knows me knows I’m as big of a Seinfeld-head as there is. I’ve seen every episode more than 20 times each, easily, so anything involving Jerry Seinfeld I’m checking out 100 percent of the time. In Is This Anything? Seinfeld runs through a collection of 40 years’ worth of jokes going all the way back to the days before anyone knew what he had in store for comedy fans and pretty much anyone with a television in the 1990s. Is This Anything? is a really special performance because you get to experience one of the most illustrious careers in the history of comedy and television by listening to the man himself voice the jokes that started it all. —Aaron S., Audible Editor

Love Jerry but his more recent jokes seem angry and cynical. Don’t like his reliance on “G-damn” so much. Seems like a crutch to good joke.

Early humor the best

Heard almost 95 percent of this material before but I still laughed a lot and enjoyed it you don’t enjoy every single joke but there was enough that made me laugh even though I’ve heard it all before that made it a pleasure to listen to

If you love Seinfeld, you’re in for a treat. This book is a compilation of years of his stand-up material covering a wide range of topics. It wasn’t really what I expected at first, but I LOVE that THE BOOK is organized and broken up by each of the 300+ topics he covers. Makes it a breeze to go back to find the one(s) you want to hear again (and again).

Classic Jerry Seinfeld
