Benaroya Hall was full of laughs Friday night, as notorious comedian, writer and actor Larry David made a stop in Seattle on his nationwide tour.

Variety reported, via Live Nation, the show would feature an informal discussion about David’s time on television shows “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

As shown on Ticketmaster’s website, the show began Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Benaroya Hall in the S. Mark Taper Auditorium.

David announced the tour via a video posted on his show’s Instagram.

“It’s really nothing,” David joked in the video. “It’ll be a total waste of your time. There’s not that many things to do at night. So, I guess if you have nothing to do, but, you could consider bowling.”

David is most well known for his creation of the TV sitcom “Seinfeld,” of which he was head writer and executive producer for the first seven seasons, according to IMDb. He then went on to create the TV show “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” where he stars as a somewhat fictional version of himself.

IMDb said David won two Primetime Emmy Awards for “Seinfeld” and has been nominated for 27 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. He also wrote briefly for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and occasionally makes appearances on the show impersonating Vermont  U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.

After his Seattle show, David travels to San Francisco; Philadelphia; Atlanta; Chicago; Portland, Oregon; Phoenix; Austin, Texas, and Hollywood, Florida. More information can be found on his website.

NEW YORK (AP) — Four quarters used to buy a can of AriZona Iced Tea.
