David is🎉
Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh
David is amazing! He signs books (talking to each signer) both the event, reads for nearly an hour and a half, and then signs and talks to each person in line after the show! Best of all is how personal, how moving, and how funny his material is. What an experience!

What a fun evening!
Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts - Raleigh
This was a gift for my husband and we had such a fun date night out. We both love David Sedaris. We listen to him on NPR and read his writings, so it was a wonderful experience to get to see him in person. We laughed all night long. Much needed and much appreciated. Thanks David!

David kills
San Jose Center for the Performing Arts - San Jose
I laughed the entire evening, except when I was crying. (First Love) The outfit, the delivery, the timing, the irreverence… priceless. Food for the soul. Much appreciated. I did not use ChatGPT to write this.

Couldn't Hear Him
San Jose Center for the Performing Arts - San Jose
We sat in row 6 center, and we could not hear him for two reasons. 1. He is soft-spoken and his microphone was not loud enough, and 2. Many attendees seemed to anticipate his punch lines and started to laugh before he spoke them. Very disappointed. We had friends in another location farther back and had the same experience.

So funny
State Theatre - Minneapolis
David Sedaris is awesome. He took time to sign everyone's book and even have a moment with them. He has the best wit and outlook on life.

Stunning words of humour
State Theatre - Minneapolis
Being familiar with the performers master class and reading / listening to his work over the years, it was finally nice to hear his voice live in person. Thank you for giving us your words.

Excellent Show Logistics Need Work
State Theatre - Minneapolis
I was not sure what to expect. David Sedaris is such an entertaining writer; would his show be equivalent? Hell yah!!! Amazing fun throughout. Appreciated the essay's he shared and the questions he took at the end. Would go again in a moment. The Minneapolis State Theater was not conducive to the book signing pre and post-show. The traffic of the lobby converged with those trying to get a book signed and those trying to enter/leave. A small inconvenience but would suggest the signing be placed somewhere not at the front door. Thank you for asking.,

DAVID SEDARIS ON TOUR:
Beloved humorist and perennial New York Times best-seller David Sedaris has been bringing his signature self-deprecation to both the page and the stage ever since his comic debut in the late-'70s. Sedaris's live shows are equal parts touching and uproarious, taking his childhood trials and tribulations as a starting point and going on to tackle everything from his eccentric family to American politics. Fans of witty, irony-laden anecdotes are in for a treat as Sedaris hits concert halls around the country with his latest show An Evening with David Sedaris.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born to a large family in Binghamton, NY, Sedaris experienced a turbulent childhood that has informed his comedy ever since. After being discovered at a Chicago comedy club in the late '70s by Ira Glass, Sedaris began appearing regularly on Glass's weekly radio program The Wild Room, making a name for himself with his wry, self-effacing stories . In 1992 he made his National Public Radio debut with a reading of "SantaLand Diaries", a hilarious recounting of his days working as a holiday elf at a department store. Since then he has been a regular guest on NPR's This American Life, landed on the New York Times Best Seller list with five essay collections, and received a Grammy nod for his 2004 comedy album Live at Carnegie Hall. Back on tour, the ever-gracious Sedaris will treat fans to another round of laughs at his expense.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"We expected it to be great and he exceeded our expectations. I have not laughed so much in ages. Wonderful! "
"I laughed so much I almost missed what was being send in between punch lines! He has a true gift and I'm so grateful he shares it with the world on these tours! Hands down worth every penny!"
"The best part is that for everyone who has read all of his published work, the shows are always full of new material that has yet to be published; so, it never feels like you've paid just to hear a reading of something that's on bookstore shelves."
