Jerry Seinfeld (Singapore Indoor Stadium)

As a kid growing up in the 1990s, the Seinfeld cold opens (when he's on stage doing standup) and the before the end of the episodes were my first taste of any form of standup comedy. 

So thanks to Ronny Chieng (I guess?), it was announced last December that Jerry Seinfeld would make his only Asian stop in Singapore, before he goes on his Australia and NZ tour. The chance to see him perform in person was hard to pass up. So I got a nosebleed ticket, yada yada yada.. made my way to Singapore Indoor Stadium on a Friday night of a long weekend on both sides of the Causeway. 

Because I was staying downtown, it didn't take me too long to get to the stadium. But I was still sat in my seat for quite some time, sweating it out before the show started properly at around 9.10 p.m. with the opening act Mario Joyner, who did 15 minutes. I enjoyed his set. 

Jerry tagged himself in right afterwards without the fanfare, and did at least an hour long set about almost everything: AI, streaming services, the smartphone obssession, even the Titan submersible... he closed the set with what he's learnt about marriage.. if you don't mind the whinging, it's kinda on brand for him. 

It was also nice to see that I wasn't the only sweaty one in there; he was also visibly sweaty on stage.  

Once the show ended, I shed my dignity and ran as fast I could to the train station (for no real reason, other than because it was almost 11 p.m. by then?)...

My only complaint was the late start time. But all in all, not bad.
