Both men then held up the Palestinian flag before one started yelling “free Palestine”.
The audience at the ICC Sydney Theatre can be heard booing and Seinfeld can be heard addressing the hecklers with sarcasm.
“You’re doing great, you’re getting them on your side,” the comedian says.
“Can you hear it? It’s working.
“You have strong political feelings but you don’t know where to say them.
“You think that ruining the night … it doesn’t affect me … all these people, you’re ruining their night.”
The crowd then starts cheering.
Tuesday’s incident comes after a pro-Palestine protester interrupted the comedian, who is Jewish and has been a vocal supporter of Israel, during his first Sydney show on Sunday at the Qudos Bank Arena.
Seinfeld’s next show on his Australia tour is in Brisbane on Wednesday night.
