When Netflix and Jerry Seinfeld agreed to a deal that would bring his internet series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” to the streaming network, the comic also signed on to do a couple of new stand-up specials.
With nine posts on a new Instagram account called @netflixcomedy, the network has revealed what to expect from the first special, “Jerry Before Seinfeld,” which will be available to stream starting Sept. 19.
A series of videos of Seinfeld performing jokes on stage are interspersed with what Netflix calls “never-before-seen material,” including images of legal pads showing every joke Seinfeld has written since 1975.
The performances were filmed at The Comic Strip in New York City where Seinfeld got his start — along with other legendary comics such as Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Adam Sandler.
Check out the Netflix videos from Instagram, below, in which he riffs on lost socks, being left handed, throwing the finger, and moving furniture, as only Seinfeld could.
