David Sedaris May 5, 2010

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. He brings his unwavering sardonic wit and hilarious storytelling prowess back to Royce Hall for what is sure to be another sold-out appearance.
