With more than seven million copies of his books in print in 25 languages, David Sedaris is not only one of America's preeminent humor writers, but he also displays a sardonic wit and delivers incisive social critiques that know no boundaries. Sedaris has been called a master of satire by critics, and he cuts through political correctness and the cultural euphemisms that are abound in our world today.
David Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word as well as Best Comedy Album.
As Bill Richardson of the Toronto Globe and Mail puts it perfectly, "Sedaris has hit upon the narrative equivalent of Pepsi, or the PlayStation, or oxygen, or the haircut: something that others in the world might actually want and find useful. . . He's smart, he's caustic, he's mordant, and, somehow, he's . . . well, nice."
When David Sedaris unleashes his witty humor and inquisitive satire, the show is sure to be a laugh riot with an audience that appreciates a taste of sarcasm.
