Beginning in January, fans of Jerry Seinfeld will be able to catch the comedian once a month at a New York City theatre.

The Madison Square Garden Company announced on Tuesday that Seinfeld will perform at the Beacon Theatre in Upper Manhattan as part of a residency called Jerry Seinfeld: The Homestand.

Seinfeld said in a statement that the 2,800-seat Beacon has always been his favourite New York theatre. He says it’s a place that feels “alive” for him.

Tickets for Seinfeld’s first six shows go on sale online on December 7 and at the Beacon box office on December 8.

The historic theatre was acquired by MSG in 2006.

The New York comedian’s current project is a web series called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
