Critics Consensus

23 Hours to Kill misses the mark but still finds some funny in a special that's entertaining, if not always great.

Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

Jerry Seinfeld's new stand-up special is a precisely tooled and precisely funny piece of work from a comedian who mastered his craft decades ago but never stopped working on it. It's also a throwback to an older form.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

With his trademark cheery crankiness, the comedian holds forth about going out, getting out and dining out - and even performs a stunt.

Rated: 3.5/4

David Sims

The Atlantic

So much of 23 Hours to Kill could be pulled right out of the interstitial comedy-club scenes on his 30-year-old sitcom, and there's joy in seeing an older pro still earning big laughs.

Seinfeld's angsty wordplay is perfect for an irritable lockdown audience

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

Though Seinfeld can get a bit too whiny about the perils of being rich, famous, married, white and in your sixties, his powers of observation regarding the absurdities of everyday living are undiminished.

Rated: 3/5

WORLD

The man poised to become comedy's first billionaire knows how to sell corny as classic better than just about anyone else standing up in front of a mic today. And occasionally, his swims through familiar waters end in some pretty deep pools.

Since when did Seinfeld scream so much in his standup routine? Irritating and not funny. I'd say there two funny moments in an hour of screaming. Not worth the time.

I love Seinfeld but wow, jerry, you had to continuously go back to your flash cards to remember the next joke? Incredibly rehearsed, non spontaneous. We spent over $500 for 2 tickets for my birthday. Wasted. Please just watch the show online.
