One of the most iconic names in comedy, Jerry Seinfeld is no stranger to audiences.\xa0

He\u2019s been performing since the late 1970\u2019s, creating and starring in the semi-fictionalised sitcom of his own life \u2014Seinfeld\u2014 which became the most watched sitcom in American television by its third season.\xa0

Seinfeld is returning to New Zealand, bringing his comedy tour to kiwi stages, and while for most tours are sporadic the comedian revealed that he\u2019s always on the road.\xa0

\u201cI\u2019m always touring,\u201d he told Newstalk ZB\u2019s Mike Hosking.\xa0

\u201cI never stop.\u201d\xa0

He compared it to muscle memory, saying that stopping would have him lose the sharpness of his comedy.\xa0

\u201cYou can do this because if you stop and think about it too much, it doesn\u2019t look possible. How could I walk out there onto that stage and not come back for an hour?\u201d\xa0

Despite his status as a comic legend, Seinfeld doesn\u2019t view himself the same way, revealing that most comedians are driven by doubt.\xa0

\u201cIt is a tricky, a little balance beam to do your dance on.\u201d\xa0

Unlike many other comedians Seinfeld\u2019s show doesn\u2019t have a name, and he told Hosking that that\u2019s for the younger people.\xa0

\u201cI did a sitcom so I don\u2019t have to do that,\u201d he said.\xa0

\u201cI hope you like it, but if you don\u2019t, that\u2019s fine too.\u201d\xa0
