Jerry Seinfeld may joke that his comedy is about nothing, but he's found something to which he will be dedicating his upcoming standup shows. Mr. Seinfeld said on Wednesday that he will perform an additional show on Long Island, as part of his current comedy tour of New York, and donate his income from that show to local organizations providing relief for people affected by Hurricane Sandy. This new show will take place on Dec. 19 at the NYCB Theater at Westbury, N.Y., and tickets will go on sale Nov. 30. Mr. Seinfeld, who grew up on Long Island, said that he and fellow comedian Colin Quinn will also donate their profits from sold-out shows at the Walt Whitman Theater in Brooklyn (to be held on Thursday) and the St. George Theater in Staten Island (on Dec. 6) to local relief organizations.
