Comedian Jerry Seinfeld coming to Springfield this fall

Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts announced Friday that comedian Jerry Seinfeld will be coming to Springfield for a stand-up show this fall.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.

Seinfeld is the star and co-creator of "Seinfeld," one of the most popular sitcoms in TV history. Even though the series ended in 1998, its rerun episodes are a mainstay on cable TV.

A news release from Hammons Hall says that in recent years, Seinfeld recorded a stand-up special for Netflix, launched a web series called "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and has been performing at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as part of an ongoing residency.
