Jerry Seinfeld To Make Israel Stand-Up Debut

By JTA October 7, 2015

Jerry Seinfeld will bring his stand-up routine to Israel for the first time.

Seinfeld, who is Jewish and lives in New York, will perform in Tel Aviv on Dec. 19, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The comedian, who starred in the eponymous hit TV show in the 1990s, last visited Israel in 2007 when he was promoting “The Bee Movie.”

Tickets, which go on sale Thursday morning, range from $65 to $234.

“Seinfeld” was licensed recently to Hulu for $160 million.
