The Donny Clay Experience Where:Planet Hollywood Cost: $55 and up When: 7 p.m. Feb. 11 - 14 Info: (866) 80-SHOWS

After Seinfeld finished its storied nine-season run in 1998, Jason Alexander was faced with an enviable situation with a rather unenviable shortcoming. Corporations were lining up lucrative deals to have him perform at their events, and although Alexander was a Tony Award-winning actor and popular TV star, he had never been a stand-up comic.

"I was pretty sure that IBM was not looking for George Costanza to sing showtunes for their people," he quipped.

The solution? The Donny Clay Experience. Taking a page from his short-lived post- Seinfeld sitcom Bob Patterson, Alexander plays a motivational speaker who takes corporations to the top...with the help of a little comedy and music along the way.

"He has that wonderful pupu platter of being an incredible egomaniac, and also knowing at the same time that he's completely inept at everything he tries. Having great authority and no actual ability is a very funny combination, and that's what Donny is."

For fans who only know Alexander for his work on the small screen, Donny Clay has been a revelation.

"I've had more people come up to me after the show, and I know they mean this in the nicest way, because they even say, 'I don't mean this the way it's going to come out,' but they say, 'I didn't realize you were talented!' And I understand, because their thinking is, the guy that played George must be like George...And I keep saying if I was George, I couldn't have played it."
