Seinfeld/Banya vs. Jerry

Question
I am trying to find out the episode number, season, and name of the show when Jerry and "Banyi" are competing with their own comedy.
Dear Jennifer,
Hi, the episode I think you're referring to is called "The Butter Shave," episode #157, the first episode of the ninth (and last) season. This is the episode in which Jerry believes that Banya is only "killing" on stage because he's "riding [Jerry's] coattails," or performing after him. So, in order to mess with Banya's success, Jerry starts to bomb on stage on purpose.
Please feel free to write again! If you found this answer helpful, positive feedback is always appreciated.
Best wishes,
yada yada yada,
Ariela

I own all the DVDs, and have watched all of the special features and commentaries on all the episodes, most of them several times. I have whole sections of dialouge memorized as well as knowing a lot of little details. I'm good at placing a random quote, character, or scene, into its correct episode and season. I can also fill you in on all details of any minor character that ever appeared on the show or any answer any minor triva-type questions. However, I don't know much about the actor's real lives, or products seen on the show.
