Jerry Seinfeld performing in S'pore thanks to Ronny Chieng

American actor-comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s June 14 show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium will be his only stop in Asia.The American actor-comedian’s stand-up show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on June 14 is his first in the Republic and will be his only stop in Asia.

“He told me I should go to Singapore, and we’d have great audiences and a great show. So I decided to do it,” he says. Malaysian actor Ronny Chieng, who is based in the US, told American actor-comedian Jerry Seinfeld about his Singapore fan base.Chieng’s reassurances about his popularity in this part of the world came as news to him.

He also stars in upcoming comedy film Unfrosted, which marks his feature directorial debut. Loosely based on the true story of the creation of Pop-Tarts toaster pastries, it premieres on Netflix on May 3 and features an ensemble cast including Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan and Amy Schumer. The New York native’s comedic style has stayed largely unchanged since the 1980s. In a world that has embraced the harder-edged, confessional styles of stand-ups such as Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Ricky Gervais and Bill Burr, Seinfeld’s mildly grumpy observations about pretentious food or the irritations of air travel seem out of place.“I don’t care about the times. I care about the laughs. I listen to the laughs, and I know if they are laughing hard and having a good time.

In the years since the cultural phenomenon that was the Seinfeld sitcom aired, critical reappraisals have led to the belief that, ironically, for a show named after the comedian playing a fictionalised version of himself, Seinfeld was the least memorable character.
