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

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 Theater on Oct. 4.
