Jerry Seinfeld, the beloved comic known for his observational humor and his longtime running show, "Seinfeld" regaled the audience at the LBT in Santa Rosa with his clean, observational humor. On the eve of his 70th birthday, Seinfeld took the stage without fanfare or introduction as the man needs no introduction. Wearing a suit and tie, Seinfeld is a classy comedian with an iconic style. He doesn't need to use foul language, sex or hostility to get his fans to laugh and feel good with his relatable annoyances, likes and dislikes. His likes are few, coffee, cars and being left alone. Things he dislikes include golf, poker, family vacations and tea. These are all fodder for his funny and irritated outlook. His sons enjoy poker and so he plays with them "to win back my own money." His delivery is polished and infectious running smoothly from one topic to the next. He didn't reproach the audience for having their phones on, rather he "enjoyed" our "dumbness" for being on our phone, "the disaster to humanity." No matter what Jerry chose to find irritating, it was relatable. He had us laughing at our foibles and follies. His material was fresh and breezy. He poked fun at his lower hierarchy in his family and today's parenting where kids don't want to leave him. "Why would they?" Not like when he grew up. Instead of multiple bedtime stories it was, "lights out! Hey dad, can you read that one again." As for his advice on his 24 years of marriage, "I don't question my wife about anything. Things are always coming and going from the house and I don't ask. How do I know what's going on? I listen to my wife talk on the phone. That's how I learn where we're going and what kind of mood I've been in for the past year." Seinfeld is a rare comedic that is able to delight audiences and elevate their moods. Before leaving Jerry opened up for questions. He named his favorite car, a 50s Porsche and said he loves all cars. "You're outside but inside, You're going somewhere without moving." Yes Jerry, you still got it! Happy 70th
