Jerry Seinfeld has been called a “hack” and a “fraud” by pro-Palestinian protesters interrupting his second show in Sydney on Tuesday.
Footage from inside ICC Sydney Theatre showed two men standing up and yelling at the legendary comedian, calling out “free Palestine” and raised the Palestinian flag.
The crowd appeared to boo the pair, with Seinfeld sarcastically adding: “You’re doing great. You’re getting them on your side, can you hear it? It’s working.”

His gig at the Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday night was also interrupted by an anti-Isreal audience member.
Seinfeld mocked the man for interrupting the performance on that occasion too.
The TV star offered a blunt response to 7NEWS when asked about the incident on Tuesday afternoon. “You were saying the other night (a comedy show) is not the place to solve the world’s problems, it’s just a place for you to make some jokes?” 7NEWS reporter Tom Sacre said, to which Seinfeld replied, “What do you think?”.
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, made a solidarity visit to Israel at the end of 2023 and also met with families of hostages taken by Hamas.
