    Jerry Seinfeld at The Riverside Theater
    Over the past couple of years, Jerry Seinfeld has dressed up like a giant honeybee, bombarded us with promotions for Bee Movie, coined a term more irritating than “webisode” (“TV junior”), and consumed a spinach brownie on Oprah so his wife could sell cookbooks. In other words: He has a lot of comedy goodwill to win back. Fortunately, if anyone can remind the public that he’s a very funny stand-up, it’s Seinfeld, the guy largely responsible for the casual, observational joke-telling style that most people now think of when they think “stand-up comedy.” If nothing else, recent experiences should have provided Seinfeld with a lot of material to choose from.
