By August of 1998, when this concert was recorded for broadcast on HBO, Seinfeld had rung down the curtain on the most popular sitcom of the decade and earned enough money to buy Jason Alexander a different toupee for every day of his life. As I'M TELLING YOU makes clear, no matter how big a pop culture icon he'd become, Seinfeld's roots are in standup comedy, and he still knows how to make a live audience bust a collective gut. His natty, neurotic urban Jewish shtick is far from new, dating back at least as far as the Catskills comics of the '50s, but Seinfeld puts a decidedly '90s twist on his humor. Tackling everything from the female orgasm to the medical profession, Seinfeld puts contemporary society on a satirical skewer, enabling listeners to simultaneously identify with him and laugh at themselves.
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (9/25/98, p.107) - "...On its own, the CD is a more than respectable stand-up disc; Seinfeld's riffs on airplane bathrooms, Halloween masks, pharmacists, and supermarkets...are worthy of preservation..."

i heard this cd on a school bus trip and i was laughing so much i forgot to take my chance to hang out with the girl i liked. standard seinfeld humour, everyday life turned around and exposed to logic. displaying the quality that made him funny for so many years on tv.
