Seinfeld to stage shows at New York theater soon

US comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who shot to international stardom in the award-winning TV sitcom Seinfeld, returns to the stage next year with a residency in New York.

He will perform once a month at the Beacon Theatre in Jerry Seinfeld: The Homestand, for which the tickets for the first six shows will go on sale next Monday.

"Comedians live for certain houses that just feel 'alive' for some reason," says Seinfeld. "The Beacon is that place for me and I am so excited to make it my new home."
