Jerry Seinfeld

Stand-up comedy is Jerry Seinfeld going back to his roots. A condensed, Chicago-centric timeline: Seinfeld does stand-up. Seinfeld does stand-up for Johnny Carson and David Letterman. Seinfeld plays a stand-up comedian in an NBC sitcom. Sitcom wraps up, Seinfeld does miscellaneous projects, including directing "Colin Quinn: Long Story Short" on Broadway and in Chicago. Seinfeld does stand-up in Joliet this weekend, will again in Rosemont next spring.

Why go: Sample line: "It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper."

Reconsider: Seats may be hard to come by this late in the game.

Details: 7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday at Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N. Chicago St., Joliet; $61-$76; 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com
