David Sedaris

Get ready to laugh out loud when David Sedaris, one of America's pre-eminent humorists, returns for an evening of incisive social critique, tall tales of odd jobs, and humiliating family anecdotes. First discovered by radio host Ira Glass in the clubs of Chicago reading excerpts from his diaries, Sedaris catapulted to fame after recounting his experiences as a Macy's Christmas Elf on NPR's "Morning Edition." Labeled a "minor phenomenon" by The New York Times, Sedaris went on to challenge that assessment by becoming a major phenomenon, publishing six New York Times best-selling books including Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and When You Are Engulfed in Flames. His newest book, a collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is due fall 2010. Make plans now-this is sure to be a sold-out performance. Adult content.
