| Tempted... bit pricey though. Worried about potential comedy falses in the audience ruining the gig too. |

it is pricey alright, but its worth it seeing him live...
dosent tour that often etc
Have every season of seinfeld and watch an episode prob every day for the past 5 years , not everyones cup of tea but between him and larry david they have it stitched up for me.
hopefully there wont be many spas in the audience..

Would definitely hit this if funds permitted. There's a great subtlety and nuance to his comedy, I think thats largely unappreciated as people prefer to be beaten about the face with jokes about toasters and biscuits. Been to a few bigger comedy gigs like Ricky Gervais in the o2 and there were some twats there but I don't think Seinfeld would have the same crossover because hes not really a celebrity here.

This opinion is not just wrong but also stupid.
Louis CK
Doug Stanhope
George Carlin
Dave Chappelle
Eddie Murphy
Richard Pryor
are only only a handful of names and undoubtedly some of the best stand ups ever. |

When he says Eddie Murphy he doesn't mean the Nutty Professor. |

No, I infact speak on behalf of a large well funded NGO and as such, whenever I voice an opinion I represent not only myself but also that of ten of thousends of extremely intelligent and well endowed individuals.
Saying you find American comedians boring is like saying you find American music boring, given the range and diversity of it that exists, its ridiculous. Also, Eddie Murphy's 'Delirious' and 'Raw' are without doubt some of the finest comedy routines that have ever been performed, I literally almost pissed myself laughing the first time I saw Raw. Just out of curiosity, what comics do you like? |

Really good article charting Murphys career arc, highly recommended read if you doubt his place in the comedic pantheon. |
