David Sedaris

Fully reserved seating

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has
become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with
which he slices through cultural euphe-misms and political correctness
proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant
writers addressing the human condition today.

David Sedaris is the author Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well
as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress
Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and When You Are Engulfed in Flames,
each of which became a bestseller. There are a total of seven million
copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25
languages. He was the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of
Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories.  Sedaris’s pieces appear
regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in “The Best
 American Essays.” His newest book, a collection of fables entitled
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian
Falconer), was published in September 2010 and immediately hit the NYT
Bestseller Fiction List. His new book is entitled Let’s Explore Diabetes
with Owls. He and his sister, Amy Sedaris, have collaborated under the
name “The Talent Family” and have written half-a-dozen plays which have
been produced at La Mama, Lincoln Center, and The Drama

Department in New York City. These plays include Stump the Host,
Stitches, One Woman Shoe, which received an Obie Award, Incident at
Cobbler’s Knob, and The Book of Liz, which was published in book form by
Dramatists Play Service. David Sedaris’s original radio pieces can
often be heard on This American Life, distributed nationally by Public
Radio International and produced by WBEZ.

David Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best
Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. His most recent live album is David
Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (November 2009). A feature
film adaptation of his story C.O.G. premiered at the Sundance Film
 Festival (2013).
