Leading US Humorist, Best Selling Author & triple Grammy Award nominated
AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS
David Sedaris, humorist, bestselling author and star of Radio 4 series ‘Meet David Sedaris’, has announced a UK tour for 2018. The tour takes in 10 dates starting on 10th July at Cardiff St. David’s Hall and culminates with two nights at London’s Cadogan Hall on 24th & 25th July. The tour supports his next literary release - a new book of essays entitled ‘Calypso’ that comes out in June.
With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre- eminent humour writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms 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 of 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, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls and 2017’s ‘Theft By Finding: Diaries (1977-2002)’ each of which became an instant bestseller. The audio version of Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls is a 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album. He is also the author of the NYT-bestselling collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer). He was also the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories. Sedaris’ pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in “The Best American Essays.” There are a total of ten million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.
“Sedaris ain’t the preeminent humorist of his generation by accident.” - Entertainment Weekly
