Jerry Seinfeld is bringing back his live stand-up comedy to New York City - the place he says he learned to be funny.

The TV star and comedian is to perform a mini-tour of the city in the autumn with fellow comedian Colin Quinn as his special guest.

Jerry said in a statement: "I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny.

"I'm so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved hometown."

It will be the first time he'll present full live comedy performances in the city since his 1998 Broadway show, I'm Telling You for the Last Time.

There will be one performance in each of the city's five boroughs on Thursday nights in October and November.

The first performance is at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre on October 4 2012.
