Jerry Seinfeld is working on his variety of insults after he was interrupted once again during his stand-up show in Australia on Saturday night.
Last week, pro-Palestinian protesters booed him at his concert in Sydney, where people in the crowd called the comedian “a pirate” and “a fraud.”
This weekend he moved to Melbourne, where news.com.au reports that hecklers with 10 minutes left, chanting: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
The Australian news website quotes Seinfeld responding to hecklers:
“Oh, you’re back. The protesters are back! I missed you,” before addressing them directly:
“Listen, you and I are in the same business.
“Our business is to get people to see things the way we see them. The problem is that you are in the wrong place. Do you hear how well I’m doing?
Referring to ticket prices for his show, Seinfeld added:
“I think you need to go back and tell whoever runs your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew.’
“That can’t be a good plan for you. That’s not what you want. That’s the whole problem. You have to come up with a better plan.”
Despite the series of incidents, Seinfeld was quoted by the website as telling the country’s 7 News that he was enjoying his time on the road in Australia.
Regarding the protesters, he suggested:
“I don’t care what your politics are, but go where things are political.
“This is where we are going to forget about politics. We all want to forget about it for a couple of hours. That’s the whole idea of the show. “Forget about everything for a couple of hours.”
