Seinfeld happy doing stand-up comedy

NEW YORK, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Five years after the end of his hit sitcom on NBC, Jerry Seinfeld is happy doing stand-up comedy again and he's booked weekends across the United States.

Since Seinfeld left television, he's married, had two children, moved into an apartment across from Central Park in New York City, garaged a string of Porsches and has enough money to never work again, the New York Post reported.

"After nine fantastic years working on the show 'Seinfeld,' Jerry decided to return to stand-up because it is really what he loves to do," said spokeswoman Elizabeth Clark.

Seinfeld has been performing stand-up almost every weekend in historic theaters and clubs in different cities nationwide, and he's fully booked until September.

"Most guys, when they get to that level, want to do more television and film," said New York comedian John Priest.

"He chose to go back to a job that had the least amount of exposure and the least amount of money and the most amount of work. It's noble that he's true to the art form."
