An Evening with David Sedaris

A smiling middle-aged man with short brown hair, round dark-framed glasses, and a dark suit jacket,
A savant of razor-sharp and sardonic wit, an evening with David Sedaris is better than therapy, a life affirming joyful experience that leaves a person feeling as if their cup has been filled right to the brim by one of the world's pre-eminent humour writers. Expect brand new essays and freshly minted diary entries read live from the stage, a candid audience Q&A, and an extended book signing that — true to form — will run as long as it needs to. In The Land and Its People, his first new essay collection since Happy-Go-Lucky, Sedaris reflects on what it means to be a foreigner, a brother, and a lifelong friend — trying on the role of caretaker after his partner Hugh's hip-replacement surgery. Equal parts tender and devastating, it's classic Sedaris: the kind of writing that makes you laugh until you feel guilty, then laugh again anyway. Don't miss the opportunity to hear David Sedaris read from his brand-new book.
