There is nothing else to say. The most famous stand-up in the world has announced that he will end his 18 year absence from Australia in August 2017, and stop by for an Adelaide date on Saturday, 5 August.

While it might seem like a lifetime ago, his iconic 90s television sitcom remains his opus; a much loved and venerated 180 episodes in which he immortalised the Soup Nazi, bad naked, the puffy shirt, the Kramer, eating a sandwich in bed during sex, serenity now, the ‘bro’ and perhaps his greatest invention alongside Larry David – Festivus.

Tickets go on sale for all cities at 10am on Monday November 14 from ticketek.com.au. A Telstra pre-sale for Telstra customers will be on sale 12pm on Tuesday November 8 to 12pm on Thursday November 10.

It will be a Festivus for the rest of us!
