Jerry Seinfeld talks standup and ticket prices as he heads to Denver following “Seinfeld” reunion tease

When stand-up legend Jerry Seinfeld hinted at a reunion of his ’90s sitcom from the stage in Boston on Oct. 7, his fans cheered — first the ones in the audience, and then on social media.

In an Instagram video clip from the set, Seinfeld called it “… a little secret for you about the ending (of the show), but I can’t really tell it.”

Thanks to Instagram the non-secret is out, and the 69-year-old comic is heading to Denver exactly one week after his Boston set. His 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows on Saturday, Oct. 14, at the 5,000-seat Bellco Theatre might hold clues about the future of Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.

And it might not. Either way, teasing a reunion on stage will instantly make headlines, despite Seinfeld’s general bearishness on amateur concert footage.

“I can’t believe people think other people want to see whatever stupid thing you shot on your phone,” Seinfeld presciently told The Denver Post last week, in reference to secretly recording stand-up sets. “I can’t believe they think other people are going to watch it, or that they would even watch it at some point.”

He’s mostly right, as he often is with his observational humor — unless there’s big news at play (like, say, a “Seinfeld” reunion). Finding humor in technological addiction, among countless daily annoyances and contradictions, is something he’s practiced for 45 years. And as a classically molded joke-teller in the club, talk show, and prestige-theater circuit, he has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Here’s our Q&A with Seinfeld in advance of his Bellco Theatre concert. The transcript has been edited for clarity and length.

Q: Hi, Jerry. Thanks so much for your time. How’s the weather in New York right now?

A: Couldn’t be better. It’s weird: it’s going to be 80 today and it’s October. But I don’t really care. I like strange weather, and we’ve had quite a bit here in New York.

Q: You’re playing Denver this month, and just announced a show for Colorado Springs in February. And you’re touring with Jim Gaffigan…

A: With Gaffigan I’m doing Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and L.A.

Q: And Gaffigan performs clean comedy, like you. My 11-year-old son has recently gotten really into comedy — mostly sketch comedy and “Seinfeld.” Between syndication and streaming, is there always a generational revival for the show?

A: I don’t know, everybody has a different sense of humor. But the best laugh you can hear is the sound of (younger people). For some reason it sounds better when you get a laugh from a young kid. I mean, like a 10-year-old or something. It’s incredibly satisfying, so I’m always trying to make them laugh. I keep hearing about that age, 10 to 12, watching the show. Whenever people come up to me and say, “My kid is watching the show,” I always say, “How old?” But you were probably pretty young when you first watched it.

Q: I was in high school and college in the ’90s, yeah. Have you noticed the audience at your shows change lately? Your sets are all-ages, whereas comedy clubs are 21-and-up.

A: It’s hard to say. But I can definitely see the audience as we’re leaving the theater. We go out the back and they go out the front and then I see them in the street. I see a very wide age range, which is really nice, but that’s what the TV show does. It keeps people finding you at different ages. Comedy is kind of an age-free thing. You don’t really care how old somebody is. You either like their style or you don’t. It must make you feel good that your son has a good sense of humor. When my kids watch things I think, “Ok, they care about laughing.”
